INFLUENCER MARKETING KAO MOĆAN ALAT PROMOCIJE BRANDA

Rad sadrži analizu influencer marketinga u svijetu i Hrvatskoj te je uz pomoć marketinških stručnjaka i domaćih influencera prikazano kako on izgleda u praksi, iz perspektive influencera i oglašivača. Pokazalo se da influencer marketing u Hrvatskoj raste onako kao i u svijetu, iako kod nas budžeti i povjerenje prema influencerima ipak nisu na razini kao na najrazvijenijim tržištima. Također, u ovom radu opisano je što influencer marketing zapravo jest, kako se uklapa u marketinške strategije tvrtki, kako je započeo te koji su njegovi pravni i etički aspekti. Influencer marketing je u svijetu još uvijek relativno slabo reguliran, a isto vrijedi i za Hrvatsku. U praktičnom dijelu rada prezentirane su studije slučaja, anketa i intervju. Studija slučaja je provedena na primjeru domaće marketinške kampanje, anketa je provedena na uzorku od 23 domaće tvrtke i ispituje kakav je stav tvrtki prema influencer marketingu, a intervjui su odrađeni sa predstavnicom domaće tvrtke koja u svojim kampanjama koristi influencere i sa domaćim influencerom.This paper contains an analysis of influencer marketing on a global scale and in Croatia. With the help of marketing experts and Croatian influencers, it has been researched what influencer marketing looks like in practice, from the perspective of both influencers and advertisers. It has been noted that influencer marketing is experiencing growth in Croatia as it does globally, even though budgets are not as high here as they are in more developed markets.
