To support the rapid convergence of consumer and influencer behaviors on social networks, marketing-savvy B2C companies are turning to influencer marketing platforms to accelerate sales and brand reach. In 2015, consumers, notably millennials, have also become weary of traditional advertising —resulting in an increased usage of ad blocking technology. As a result, marketers are activating social influencers to share and amplify their authentic experiences with products. The evolution of the consumer experience has validated the growing need for influencer marketing tools capable of supporting today’s digital marketing needs.

While celebrity product endorsements connect with millennials on an aspirational level, user generated content from their peers is an authentic way for brands to better engage and inspire with this generation. In fact, a notable ReadyPulse customer received 4.1 million impressions from paid celebrity and athlete content in November, 2015. In that same time period, the brand had 423 million impressions from user-generated content from authentic people amplified by the ReadyPulse Platform.

"We deployed ReadyPulse to drive sales and social buzz at O’Neill,” said Daniel Neukomm, CEO La Jolla Group. “ReadyPulse finds, curates and amplifies the best social influencers and their authentic content related to our products, giving our brands and websites social proof that inspires consumers to confidently buy cool products for their desired lifestyle.”

In 2016, ReadyPulse looks forward to further growth and innovation to help the world’s top brands harness the power of influencer marketing.
