At present, brands have a fairly wide “catalog” of influencer to choose from to design their marketing strategies; However, they must be particularly careful when choosing which personality they want to temporarily represent their brands, since as well as it can generate positive repercussions, they are not exempt from not receiving some criticism.
Influencers are the current bet of brands to be done advertising, as Uber Eats demonstrated a while ago when carrying out a cross strategy with the influencer Alex Tienda, generating a high level of interactions where he “accidentally” comes across an ad of himself, achieving endless comments on social networks, generating a type of unpaid chain advertising.
Although the number of followers and the presence of an influencer can help our image, not all of them work for all brands, so there are different factors to consider when choosing them, such as their niche, their type of content, the type of presence that it has and its perception before users; However, if it is constantly seen in controversy, it will undoubtedly position the brand in the digital conversation.
