There was a time (long, long ago) when all you had to do was post a half-decent photo with a short, preferably funny caption and that was it. Nowadays, if you want to be classed as an ‘influencer,’ you’ve got to sharpen your game and make sure every post provides value to someone, somehow. In this episode, Rev Ciancio talks about increasing engagement on Instagram with a fine-tuned social media strategy.
Rev is one of the country’s leading food and hospitality influencers, and if you’ve never heard of him, you won’t forget him after listening to this episode.
Did you know that 63% of consumers trust influencers about brands more than they trust brands about brands? Yet, so many brands still shy away from influencer marketing.
