New channels like Branded content, Influencer marketing or Podcast ads have proven to deliver ROI comparable to mainstream media. These channels have data-backed outcomes which suggest that once the consumers are exposed to marketing efforts it leads to gains in familiarity and affinity.
You too can leverage these new channels and include them in your marketing strategy.

Influencer Marketing and Branded content can aid over 80% of brand recall post-exposure to ads. However, both of these channels need strong content as the content itself will be the ad.
Here are 3 ways to deliver good content

- Keep the content flow natural and avoid excess entertainment/outrageous content
According to the report– ’ By measuring consumers’ liking of the content, Nielsen has found that high-scoring content can drive big gains in purchase intent’.
The report also highlights the importance of maintaining the right balance while creating marketing strategies.
