According to Orange 142, these campaigns deliver results without the high cost of celebrity partnerships, and often outperform larger influencer activations on both engagement and ROI.
"Micro-influencers are changing the way brands connect with audiences. They deliver engagement, not just impressions," said Lindsey Wilkes, SVP, Business Development at Orange 142. "This guide gives marketers the blueprint to build scalable, compliant, and conversion-oriented influencer programs."
