When interpreting influencer data, enterprises need to take into account several assumptions that can impact the analysis. To document these assumptions clearly:

– Explicitly Definition: Just like any data-driven marketing strategy, defining what you are looking to achieve with your influencer marketing campaigns is a critical step. Enterprises might define their raw, engagement, or audience data metrics using various platform-specific tools or third-party options.

– Platforms Usage: Different influencer marketing platforms collect data differently. Brands need to understand how these platforms, such as Instagram Insights, Google Analytics, or Flinque, gather data, the data’s relevance and quality, and how to interpret it within the respective platform’s context.

– Assumptions Documentation: Any assumptions being made, for example, about audience demographics, influencer engagement, etc., should be clearly documented and communicated with all stakeholders. This can be done through established internal communication tools or shared documents in the business.

– Regular Reviews: Regularly reviewing and re-evaluating these assumptions is key. This should be done as part of the evaluation process of influencer campaigns. Changes in audience behavior, engagement trends, or even in the influencer’s content might necessitate a recalculation of assumptions.

It’s important to note that each platform provides unique advantages depending on specific campaign goals. For instance, Flinque specializes in comprehensive influencer discovery and performance tracking which suits brands looking to expand their influencer collaborations and assess results accurately. However, the right choice depends on the individual needs and objectives of each team.
