Investing in advertising campaigns is a crucial strategy for companies seeking to increase their visibility and engagement in the market. However, the inadequate selection of influencers and professionals can result in poor outcomes and financial losses.
Choosing influencers without prior in-depth analysis can lead to negative consequences, such as a disconnect between the brand and the target audience.
“It’s essential not to act on intuition but rather based on concrete data,” said Marcelo Calone, CEO of Grupo Calone, a company specialized in the intelligent hiring of personalities. He points out that the lack of criteria in selection can result not only in ineffective campaigns but also in damage to the brand’s reputation.
In an interview, the expert highlights the importance of thorough analysis when selecting personalities for campaigns, emphasizing the innovative tools his company offers to optimize this process.
