INSIGHT: From the Mouths of Real Influencers

 

Why listen to followers, when you can listen to Influencers?

 

Less than 10% of people in any one category dictate the opinions and habits of the other 90% which is why Ammo identifies those Influencers and bases all of our programs on ongoing insight into the lives, motivations, values and social networks of your Influencers, and we use these insights throughout the process.

 

Our insight tools focus on four areas: Influencer Insights; the stories people tell about brands; identifying real Influencers, not hand raisers; and understanding the Influencer connections within social networks.

• Cultural Intelligence: Influencer Insights from the mouths of the Influencers in your category, and about your brand. No focus group rooms, no two-way mirrors, just reports full of actionable recommendations. Is that refreshing, or what? (Clients include: Miller Brewing Company, Foster’s Wine Estates, Honda, Microsoft)

• Influencer Index™: Sorting the wheat from the Chaff. Ammo’s proprietary online tool enables us to sort the real Influencers for your brand from the mere handraisers. Simple, effective, and the cornerstone of all of our research, ideation and programs. (Clients include: virtually every client we’ve ever worked with)

• Influencer Mapping: Understanding the Influencer connections within social networks. The connections, nodes and superconnectors in any social network can make or break an Influencer program. (Clients include: Target Corporation, Beam Wine Estates, Southern Comfort, Yahoo!)

• StoryBuilder: The stories people tell about brands. If the most successful brands are those whose consumers tell the best stories about them, shouldn’t you understand both what stories are being told now, and by whom? And shouldn’t we establish what stories could and need to be told in order to grow your brand? StoryBuilder is Ammo’s unique approach to uncovering and developing brand stories, and a frequent pre-cursor to ProgramBuilder. (Clients include: TiVo, Foster’s Wine Estates, Southern Comfort, Yahoo!)
