11 influencer content ideas — and why they are effective
Making the not-so-glamorous glamorous
How do you promote IT courses? It’s not exactly a fun topic to promote. In this video, Cyber Tom talks about how people can get their start in cybersecurity with Coursera.
Playing to influencer strengths
Ian Bogg is known for his humorous videos on YouTube, so this skit that promotes a phone plan is an authentic video his followers will enjoy. The brand embraced Bogg’s style. The result is an authentic, effective ad.
Using humor to connect

An ad, but with BTS

Subtle endorsements
Any guesses on what the promotional product is in this influencer ad? It’s for a boat cleaner. The picture shows a woman and her dog on the boat, but no cleaner. However, the message talks about using it. The influencer cleaned the boat while getting the dog used to the rocking of the boat before its first ride. Subtle promotions work.
Attention to detail
One look at this influencer ad, and you can tell the creator put effort into the image. Both she and her daughter are in matching outfits, the background is well throughout, and the product sits with them.
Real customer, real food
While many restaurants have professional shots taken of their menu items, this influencer post shows food in an authentic way. The influencer went to the restaurant, placed an order, and showed people what it looked like. It doesn’t feel fake. It feels like a true representation of the restaurant’s meals.
Creative editing at work
When you trust an influencer to create content, they pour their creativity into the process. Sponsored posts like this one show how creative editing can deliver a fun, engaging, and informative message to followers.
