Description
Want to associate your brand with the right people or ambassadors? We’ll hook you up! Our influencer marketing campaigns are rooted in strategies that rely less on reach and more on the authenticity. We help our clients identify impactful and credible influencers for the job. TAILOR-MADE AND PERSONAL APPROACH When it comes to influencer marketing, we deploy the same tailor-made and personal approach as we do with press. The right person doesn’t necessarily equal the influencer with the biggest reach. You might get more eyeballs but are they eyeballs that care? Our lean and mean approaches sometimes focus on a larger group of micro influencers to carry a story. And our track record proves these tactics just click. Combine extensive experience – Walkie Talkie’s founders have been industry pioneers over the past decade – with integrated influencer marketing platforms and we’ve got the proper insights from the start of a briefing. And before you ask: yes we have the most extensive influencer database in Belgium at our disposal.

Collaboration

What was the objective behind your collaboration?Het doel van de samenwerking is om de aanwezigheid van MeDirect binnen earned media te versterken op een paar thema's die voor ons belangrijk zijn. Voornamelijk onze betrouwbaarheid als bank, onze capaciteit om cliënten te begeleiden om de juiste investeringskeuzes te maken en cyber security.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?De grote mate van proactiviteit en reactiviteit langs de kant van Walkie Talkie en de betrokkenheid van het account management.

Are there any areas for improvements?We zijn momenteel nog een volledig plan aan het ontwikkelen waarbij we ook graag media willen activeren die buiten de klassiek harde economische context vallen.
