Si vous travaillez dans le marketing et les relations presse, vous êtes sûrement familier avec les relations influenceurs. Derrière le terme influenceur sont regroupés les célébrités, les journalistes, les blogueurs ou tout simplement des personnes très actives sur les réseaux sociaux et suivies par une communauté importante. Un des critères les plus importants lors de la mise en place d’une campagne de relations influenceurs est, sans surprise, le ciblage des influenceurs. Nous avons tendance à nous diriger naturellement vers ceux suivis par la communauté la plus importante. Mais il nous faut nous demander quels sont nos objectifs à travers cette campagne : gagner en visibilité ou créer de l’interaction ?
