What WPPs Obviously Acquisition Means For VMLY&Rs Influencer Marketing Strategy
on a global scale
VMLY&R Global CEO John Cooke says the need for such an acquisition arose after realizing there was a gap in the ability of the company's agent network to deliver effective marketing opportunities on a global scale.
"It's one of the hottest areas of marketing where we had some experience, but no depth or expertise," Cook said. “We can do influencer marketing in one fell swoop, but we have a lot of clients with a portfolio of products and services. If you look at our customer base, they all operate globally, if not nationally."
Of course, it is important to be able to work with any type of influencer, regardless of the number of followers. The agency has more than 60 million authors in its database and more than 150,000 authors in its preferred network.
"We're going to be very, very good at finding a lot of niche creators," Karwowski said. “[Si] is a client looking to do something in southeast Florida for a new restaurant. We can do it for you and we can do it very quickly.
Currently, 80% of the company's activity appears to be short-lived content like TikTok, which has recently made headlines, including CEO Zhou Zichu's testimony before Congress last week that could have implications for banning the app in the US. USA.

When asked if he's seen any brands stop their TikTok campaigns, Karwowski said it's "business as usual."
"Brands have had a lot of success with TikTok," he said. "We really don't think anything will happen, but if it does, we'll campaign until the last minute of the last day. Also, we think it's impossible to put the genie back in the bottle any time soon. Content. There are so many people on TikTok who are going elsewhere for great content."
