7 myths of influencer marketing and how to overcome them
summary
Pixonic runs influencer work as performance campaigns, collecting historic data (channel theme, integration length, placement) and optimizing like UA; agencies speed volume and handle contracts and deadlines. Avoid only gaming or mega-stars; focus on mid-size channels (roughly 150k–300k views per video) and run monthly experiments to build a source spreadsheet. Creative structure is precise: eye-catcher then real gameplay and visible store placement. Measure direct plus delayed effects (retargeting and an organic boost typically over 3–4 day organic uplift); about four months of continuous campaigns yields ROI.
