Innity brings influencer marketing Passionation offering to KL

Martech firm Innity has ventured into the influencer marketing space with the launch of Passionation, an influencer marketing platform that aims to connect influencers and micro-influencers with leading brands at scale. Passionation aims to help marketers find their particular niche from their directory of over 2,000 influencers in more than 11 niches and categories. The platform uses an AI-driven analytics platform to drive influencer relationship management, reporting, fraud detection, and ultimately get the best matches for brands to deliver the maximum degree of affinity between a brand and a content creator. The result is more engaging and authentic content to produce more relatable and impactful campaigns. Passionation is currently available to clients and influencers across the APAC region, in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. According to the agency, influencer marketing is a growing industry and more marketers seem ready to invest in it. It is estimated that the industry will reach US$10 billion by 2020. According to eMarketer report in July 2018, about 8% of marketers worldwide said that they planned to grow their influencer marketing spend in 2019. However, some of the biggest pain points marketing managers have is finding the right social influencers, and ensuring the authenticity and transparency of the influencer to avoid spending on fake followers. Marketers can also repurpose influencer campaigns into Innity’s display and mobile ads and programmatically amplify them across its vast network of publishers to reach an even wider audience. Phang Chee Leong, CEO and co-founder of Innity said, “To date, Passionation connects over 2000 influencers with more than 500 businesses, including KFC, AirAsia, INTI, Milo, Laneige, and many more. We are also happy to have established close and direct relationships with our influencers since we started." "Content creators are often approached by brands and agencies to participate in marketing campaigns, but they are typically full of logistical challenges. Our plan with Passionation is to make the process effortless and transparent for both marketers and influencers,” Phang added.
