With the advent of the digital age, more and more customers are turning to online platforms, such as social media, to obtain information about the various products on the market before committing to a purchase. This trend has led to the rise of social media influencers, or as we termed them, Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), as crucial marketing partners.
Due to the more intimate nature of social media, these influencers can establish a rapport with their followers. Having a familiar face tied to the social media profile also makes the connection more personal as compared to the brand logos seen in multiple companies’ social media accounts. This is why the opinions of these KOLs hold greater sway over the public. To capitalise on their influence, numerous companies have begun to adopt KOL marketing strategies into their marketing campaign to attract consumers to buy their products.
However, with multiple influencers in this industry, choosing the best KOLs to represent your brand is crucial. As such, allow us to share the top five influencers in Singapore your company should keep an eye on.
