Influencer marketing and user-generated content (UGC) have revolutionized business strategies by delivering personalized, cost-effective, and impactful content. Showcasing authentic product experiences from real users enhances credibility and fosters lasting customer relationships. In 2024, ICA, Sweden's leading food chain with over 1,300 stores, recognized these benefits and adopted influencer marketing. Each store serves a local community within a 5-kilometer radius, necessitating influencers with strong local presence for authentic and relevant content. ICA leveraged Influeri to orchestrate campaigns across multiple locations, collaborating with local influencers who created compelling content tailored to individual stores. This content was strategically distributed through targeted channels with micro-local reach, significantly boosting engagement and influence.
Although the need has existed for some time, local franchisees such as ICA have encountered challenges when it comes to investing in influencer marketing and UGC. Local franchisees aim for targeted advertising in their specific areas, but traditionally, achieving this has been difficult. High costs and time-consuming processes have been major roadblocks, making it unaffordable for many stores to invest. Previous solutions have proven inadequate for micro-local collaborations, lacking the local creators and features necessary to maximize exposure where it counts.
