It really depends on the context of your business: are you in a state of high-growth, with a budget and willing team ready to pursue new opportunities? Are you a start-up, with some dedicated capital you have to spend on marketing and need the best advice on where to venture next? Are you a new eCommerce store, with a fantastic offering that needs its name spread far and wide? We can help!  I'm here to make things easy and to talk you through what it is you're up to, and what you might need to consider moving forward.

  • Undertow Media

    trusted-flag
    (0 review)

    A PR & social media agency with all the connections, delivering clever campaigns and driving ROI for your brand.

    An ‘undertow’ is a strong pull in a different direction. To create it you must first know the way the flow runs, then forge a surprising new route. This is the way Undertow Media conducts its day-to-day business. While this is true and makes sense of our name, we know even one-man bands with no clients can say clever things. You’re here because you want to know we’re credible. While somewhat ironically we don’t like tooting our own horn, as a quick summary agency founder Greer Bland started the New Zealand business in 2013 after running the consumer division of a large Australian agency comprising 40 staff. Before she left to bring all she learnt back home, she had already signed up a number of clients who needed NZ support and knew her style. From there, she convinced businesses that had never had an on-the-ground agency to come on board. Many of these clients are still with us today. Long-standing senior team members Gina Williams and Hayley Urry were brought on board to steer the ship. Through their leadership, we’ve expanded our services to be the leader in influencer relations, copy that sings on social, smart news plays that get the 6pm slot, content that converts and events that are talked about for weeks. We’ve since built an almost faultless team of 13 professionals that have helped rally a gold standard in communications across every possible service we provide. Every day our epic team enters our Grey Lynn studio and showroom to tell stories and make hay for their clients. We compete against ourselves to be better every day.

Insights from a Local Expert: The State of Influencer Marketing in New Zealand

Recognizing Excellence: Awards in the Influencer Marketing Sector

In New Zealand, the influencer marketing landscape is distinguished not only by innovative campaigns but also by the accolades these bring. Local agencies have been recognized with various national and international awards, highlighting their creativity and impact in connecting brands with audiences effectively. These awards serve as a benchmark for quality and innovation within the industry, guiding brands in their selection of agencies known for excellence.

Notable Campaign Success Stories

New Zealand’s influencer marketing agencies have a track record of successful collaborations with both local and global brands, driving engagement through authentic and relatable content. Examples include campaigns for major tech companies aiming to reach tech-savvy consumers and lifestyle brands looking to increase their local market imprint. The effectiveness of these campaigns is often reflected in significant boosts in engagement rates and positive consumer feedback, illustrating the strong capabilities of local agencies.

Budgeting for Influencer Marketing: An Essential Consideration

Budgeting effectively is crucial in any marketing plan, particularly in influencer marketing where the cost can vary greatly depending on the scope and scale of the campaign. In New Zealand, businesses should consider several factors:

  • The Influence Tier: Costs can range from a few hundred to thousands of New Zealand dollars depending on whether the influencer is a micro, macro, or celebrity-level personality.
  • Campaign Length and Complexity: Longer-term collaborations or those requiring extensive content creation will naturally involve higher budgets.
  • Agency Track Record: Agencies with a proven record of delivering high ROI may command higher fees but also provide greater value through expertise and established influencer networks.

For small businesses or newcomers to influencer marketing, it might be advisable to start with micro-influencers. This group often boasts high engagement rates and more budget-friendly collaborations, making them ideal for brands seeking to experiment with influencer marketing without committing a substantial budget upfront.

Choosing the Right Agency for Your Brand

When selecting an influencer marketing agency in New Zealand, brands should consider the agency’s past campaigns, client testimonials, and the specific market segments they have successfully engaged. It’s also beneficial to look at the types of influencers they predominantly work with to ensure alignment with your brand’s target demographics and values.

Working with local New Zealand agencies, brands can leverage deep regional insights and influencer networks that resonate with local audiences, thus ensuring campaigns are both authentic and effective. These aspects are crucial in a landscape where audiences value transparency and genuine connections with their favored influencers and, by extension, with the brands they endorse.

By implementing these best practices, brands and influencers in New Zealand can build strong, mutually beneficial relationships. Influencer marketing agencies play a crucial role in facilitating these partnerships, offering expertise, tools, and support to ensure long-term success in the unique Kiwi market.

Successful influencer marketing agencies in New Zealand employ a variety of sophisticated methods to measure and report the Return on Investment (ROI) for their campaigns. Here's an overview of the key approaches used:

1. Engagement Metrics

Kiwi agencies closely track engagement rates, which include:

  • Likes, comments, and shares on posts
  • Story views and interactions
  • Video views and watch time

These metrics provide insights into audience interaction and content performance.

2. Reach and Impressions

Agencies measure the total number of unique users who saw the content (reach) and the total number of times the content was displayed (impressions) to gauge campaign visibility.

3. Conversion Tracking

To directly link influencer efforts to sales or desired actions, agencies use:

  • Unique promo codes for each influencer
  • Trackable affiliate links
  • UTM parameters for website traffic attribution
4. Brand Sentiment Analysis

Using social listening tools, agencies monitor changes in brand sentiment before, during, and after campaigns to assess impact on brand perception.

5. Sales and Revenue Tracking

For e-commerce clients, agencies often integrate with online stores to directly attribute sales to influencer activities.

6. Audience Growth

Tracking the increase in followers or subscribers for the brand's social media accounts during and after campaigns.

7. Cost Per Engagement (CPE) and Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

These metrics help determine the efficiency of the campaign spend:

  • CPE = Total Campaign Cost / Total Engagements
  • CPA = Total Campaign Cost / Number of Acquisitions (sales, sign-ups, etc.)
8. ROI Calculation

The overall ROI is typically calculated as:

ROI = (Value of Conversions - Campaign Cost) / Campaign Cost x 100%

9. Benchmarking

Top agencies in New Zealand compare campaign performance against industry benchmarks and previous campaigns to provide context for the results.

10. Reporting Tools and Dashboards

Agencies use sophisticated tools like Hootsuite Impact, Sprout Social, or custom-built dashboards to compile data and create visually appealing, easy-to-understand reports for clients.

It's worth noting that in the New Zealand market, with its unique mix of local and global influencers, agencies often emphasize the importance of qualitative metrics alongside quantitative data. This includes factors like brand alignment, content quality, and the authenticity of influencer partnerships.

According to a 2024 survey by the New Zealand Marketing Association, 78% of Kiwi brands consider influencer marketing ROI reporting as 'very important' or 'crucial' when selecting an agency partner. This underscores the significance of robust measurement and reporting practices in the New Zealand influencer marketing landscape.

By employing these comprehensive measurement and reporting strategies, top influencer marketing agencies in New Zealand provide clients with clear, data-driven insights into campaign performance and ROI, enabling informed decision-making for future influencer partnerships and marketing strategies.

Top influencer marketing companies in New Zealand employ several key strategies to ensure authenticity and trust in influencer partnerships. These strategies are crucial for maintaining credibility and achieving successful campaigns in the unique Kiwi market:

  1. Thorough Vetting Process: Leading agencies conduct comprehensive background checks on potential influencers. This includes analyzing their follower demographics, engagement rates, and content quality. For instance, a study by the Influencer Marketing Hub found that 67% of brands use engagement rates as their key metric for measuring influencer success.
  2. Emphasis on Micro-Influencers: Many top New Zealand companies focus on partnering with micro-influencers (typically those with 10,000-50,000 followers). These influencers often have higher engagement rates and are perceived as more authentic by their followers. According to a report by Socialbakers, micro-influencers in New Zealand have an average engagement rate of 3.86%, compared to 1.21% for macro-influencers.
  3. Long-term Partnerships: Instead of one-off collaborations, agencies encourage brands to build long-term relationships with influencers. This approach fosters genuine connections and allows influencers to become true brand advocates over time.
  4. Content Co-creation: Top companies work closely with influencers to co-create content that aligns with both the brand's message and the influencer's authentic voice. This collaborative approach ensures that sponsored content feels natural and resonates with the audience.
  5. Transparency and Disclosure: Reputable agencies in New Zealand strictly adhere to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines on influencer marketing. They ensure that all sponsored content is clearly labeled, using hashtags like #ad or #sponsored to maintain transparency.
  6. Data-driven Matching: Leading companies use advanced algorithms and data analytics to match brands with the most suitable influencers. This approach considers factors such as brand values, target audience demographics, and campaign objectives to ensure authentic partnerships.
  7. Cultural Sensitivity: In the diverse New Zealand market, top agencies prioritize cultural sensitivity. They work with influencers who understand and respect Māori culture and other ethnic communities, ensuring campaigns are inclusive and reflective of New Zealand's multicultural society.
  8. Performance Tracking: Agencies implement robust tracking systems to monitor campaign performance and influencer behavior. This includes using unique tracking links, custom hashtags, and sentiment analysis to gauge audience reactions and ensure ongoing authenticity.
  9. Education and Support: Top companies provide ongoing education and support to both brands and influencers. This includes guidance on best practices, content creation workshops, and updates on platform algorithm changes to maintain authentic engagement.
  10. User-generated Content (UGC) Campaigns: Many successful agencies incorporate UGC into their strategies, encouraging followers to create and share content related to the brand. This approach fosters community engagement and authenticity, with 92% of consumers trusting UGC more than traditional advertising, according to a Nielsen Consumer Trust Index report.

By implementing these strategies, top influencer marketing companies in New Zealand are able to create authentic, trustworthy partnerships between brands and influencers. This approach not only ensures compliance with local regulations but also resonates with the discerning Kiwi audience, who value genuine connections and transparent communications in their social media interactions.
