Let’s Get Actionable!3 Influencer Marketing Case Studies
Success Story #1: Groove“Nearly a month before we launched the blog, we began
building a list of influencers who we wanted to build
relationships with.
Then, we began engaging with them.
Later, once they knew we existed and saw us as
contributors, we sent them a small ask”
Alex Founder of Groove
Success Story #2: Buffer“Solely through guest blogging we've acquired around
100,000 users within the first 9 months of running Buffer.
It's been something that was very gradual though. Within
the space of around 9 months, I wrote around 150 guest
posts.”
Leo Widrich Buffer
Success Story #3: NinjaOutreach
As a result, our brand is getting more recognition through features on top publications in our niche
“I don't usually reach out to help promote products, but I've heard some seriously great stuff about your software (I know Adam Connell and he swears by you guys
LOL) so I'd love to be apart of help you grow!” - Ariel Rule
