Mega Influencers
They are the new megastars who can spread your message far and wide. With hundreds of thousands, or even millions of followers, these personalities can generate significant awareness, hype, and exposure for your campaign. They bring your brand precisely into the spotlight.
Why mega influencers?
Enormous reach
Mega influencers and celebrities have an enormous reach and are known by a very broad audience. By activating mega influencers, you gain direct access to their large following.
Attention and trends
If anyone is an expert in creating attention, buzz, and new trends, it's mega influencers. They have great power and can create ripples that may also lead to trends among both micro- og macro influencers.
Credible storytellers
Mega influencers have built credibility among their followers. Therefore, they are ideal ambassadors who, due to their name and position, can endorse products and services, thereby increasing consumer trust and leading them to choose you.
Potential global impact
Celebrities and mega influencers can have an international following. Collaborating with them provides you with the opportunity to reach a global audience and generate international awareness for your brand.
What is a mega influencer?
Mega influencers refer to a specific category of influential individuals on social media platforms who have gained an enormous following, typically in the hundreds of thousands or millions. These individuals have built their influence through their work in other areas of the entertainment industry or through consistent and engaging content that appeals to a broad audience on one or more social media platforms. They can influence attitudes and decisions and, in a short period, provide your campaign with exposure reaching many hundreds of thousands.
Mega influencers can be TV personalities, musicians, actors, celebrities—or purely social media influencers known from platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube.
At Represented, we generally operate on the basis that a mega influencer in Denmark has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram. One can also be a macro influencer on TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, or other social media platforms.
The definition of a mega influencer can vary by country and who you ask. For example, in the United States, a mega influencer typically has more followers, and what we define as a mega influencer in Denmark might be considered a macro influencer in the USA. This is because the population is larger in the USA, and a profile with, for instance, 100,000 followers is generally considered a smaller profile in relative terms than it would be in, for example, Scandinavia.
How do mega influencers differ from other types of influencers?
What are the benefits of collaborating with these prominent personalities? One of the major advantages of partnering with mega influencers is their extensive reach and their ability to generate significant attention for their content – and perhaps specifically for your brand.
They deliver content that aligns with their personal brand and image. A single post on their channel can reach hundreds of thousands of people – even millions of people. Therefore, if the goal is to increase brand awareness and reach a broad audience, mega influencers are the way to go. Many mega influencers also have profiles on multiple social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook, providing flexibility in how they can showcase your product.
The large following also allows for effective outreach to a diverse target audience, enabling them to create massive media impact over a short period, which can be advantageous for events like premieres, launches, or special offers.
Mega influencers often have followers from different geographical areas, various age groups, and segments, giving them the capability to reach a broader audience than influencers with fewer followers. This can be a clear advantage for brands targeting a diverse audience or looking to expand their customer base to reach new demographics, markets, or geographic areas.
The final point worth mentioning about mega influencers is how they can be a “game-changer” for your brand by endorsing it and becoming your ambassador. Mega influencers have built credibility, position, and authority, so when they associate their name and face with a brand, the perception of that brand is elevated among consumers and other stakeholders of your company. This concept can be traced back to the age-old marketing tactic of celebrity endorsement. Think about how many shoes Nike has sold over time with Michael Jordan as their ambassador. Or should we call him a mega influencer?
