What Do Influencers Bring To The Table?
- Targeted Reach
- Content Generation
- Measurable Results
- Be Part Of A Content Amplification Network
The restaurant industry has transformed dramatically in the digital age. At Black X Marketing, we’ve pioneered an influencer approach that goes beyond the standard food photo. Our data shows that 76% of diners visit restaurants after seeing them on social media, while 92% trust peer recommendations over traditional advertising. We’re not just booking influencers – we’re creating dining experiences that resonate across social platforms.
There is a difference between Influencers and Content Creators. Most brands have “Foodies” reach out to them asking to do a post in exchange for food. Sometimes this will include a monetary exchange for a post. The biggest difference to note is that influencers have a community of people who actively follow the lifestyle and actions that individuals take throughout their online journey. A Content Creator posts content to a community of other content creators in order to build their following, impressions, and views. Typically a Content Creator does not have an active following willing to purchase.
A mixture of our Social Media & Public Relations Teams handles Influencer Marketing, #Foodie Marketing, and Content Creator Marketing. We ensure that Influencers are well vetted, have affiliate links provided to them, analytics are gathered and expectations are set before the visit occurs.
