Show notes

Welcome to episode 28 of the Influencer Marketing Lab - a weekly podcast tracking the growth spurts and growing pains of influencer marketing.

This week I'm delighted to be in conversation with Imogen Coles, influence programme director at Ogilvy.

I had a lot of fun recording this episode and hope you enjoy it, too.

Imogen delivers some killer one liners. On creativity she says "low-fi isn't necessarily lazy." 

On reducing unconscious bias within the agency work: "diversity starts with diversity of thought."

And on determination to stand your ground "be more Jack Russell."

In this episode we discuss:

  • How long term partnerships with influencers typically drive cost efficiencies. This includes reducing billable hours which can then be reinvested into data management to form actionable insights
  • What planned reactivity is and how to enable it
  • What GCSE pupils could teach influencer marketers about test and learn campaigns
  • We also talk measurement and the importance of outcomes over outputs
  • How being a social media influencer helps with client work
