According to CreatorIQ's 2022 Influencer Marketing Report, influencer-driven marketing will still be prevalent among brands in the upcoming year. The report's findings were based on a survey involving 150 brands and 200 influencers, and it revealed that the trend's popularity is on the rise. The report's data suggests that Instagram followers play a role in this trend's growth.
As part of its efforts to appeal to creators, Instagram is rolling out fresh tools and features. This move, which aims to provide support to content producers, is largely being driven by the success of TikTok. Back in October, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and founder of Meta, identified TikTok as a formidable rival that Meta had faced in the past. Therefore, Instagram is looking to position itself as an attractive platform for creators, rather than losing ground to TikTok.
