the only way is outreach - social media week 2014
DESCRIPTION
When it comes to successful Outreach with prominent bloggers, many brands and agencies are at a loss. Digital agencies like Tamar have been working with bloggers for years, in Tamar’s case 19 years, learning to perfect the art of Influencer Engagement to build brand awareness and value for our clients. Here is the presentation for our Social Media Week 2014 event 'The Only Way is Outreach' including results from research we conducted from a number of bloggers on blogger-brand/agency relationships.TRANSCRIPT

It really depends on theagency or brand ethos/approach.
Agencies usually understand bloggers more than
brands direct.It really does depend on
the individual, whilst agencies are more efficient, brands sometimes lack the understanding of what a blogger-
brand relationship involves.
They both suck for themajority and I'm usually surprised
when one is ok.

I believe bloggers should disclose when they have been paid or
compensated to write a post.
Agree
I wish I received more opportunities to work
with brands than I currently do.
If the opportunity to blog full-time ever arose,
I would give up my job.

I would prefer to remain impartialthan make money from my blog.
Disagree
I believe, when reviewing a product, you should send it back afterwards to remain
impartial.
I believe bloggers should never receive payment or
compensation to write posts.

Any tips for other bloggers?
CONNECT WITH OTHER BLOGGERSCONTENT SHOULD BE A STORY
MAKE CONTENT PERSONAL, BUT NOT DAY-TO-DAYTWITTER IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
LEARN ABOUT SEO
