How decision-makers in marketing can act better through influencer strategy
A well-founded influencer strategy plays a major role when it comes to successfully reaching and supporting decision-makers in marketing. More and more often, those responsible are turning to coaches for inspiration in the development and implementation of such strategies. This is less about simple solutions and more about accompanying support along projects in which influencers are specifically integrated.
The importance of a clear objective and target group analysis
A clear definition of objectives is the starting point for any effective influencer strategy. Marketing decision-makers often come up with questions about how they can increase brand awareness, generate qualified leads or improve conversion rates. These goals significantly influence the selection of suitable influencers and the design of the content. Precisely analysing the target group is just as essential. Knowing the specific interests and pain points of potential customers enables a precise approach. This allows the influencer strategy to be tailored precisely to the relevant buyer personas, which significantly increases efficiency.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) In one project, we first worked intensively to identify which decision-makers in the B2B sector should be reached with which issues. This made it possible to select influencers who could address precisely this target group authentically and credibly. The strategy accompanied the company step by step, from defining the target group to measuring success, which generated sustainable reach and visibility.
Selecting and building sustainable influencer relationships
Choosing the right influencers is a challenge for decision-makers. It's not just the number of followers that counts, but professional expertise, authenticity and a genuine connection to the target group. Decision-makers appreciate guidance on how to develop lasting, meaningful partnerships. An influencer strategy therefore focuses on long-term collaborations rather than one-off campaigns. Especially in complex decision-making processes in marketing, it pays off when influencers are continuously involved as trustworthy multipliers.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) A network of relevant industry experts was established as part of a longer-term influencer strategy. The company provided strategic support for the personal contacts and supported the influencers with added value, for example with content and events. This close collaboration made it possible to convincingly communicate in-depth topics to the target group and strengthen the trust of managers in the long term.
Content strategy and SEO as key factors in influencer strategy
An effective influencer strategy integrates targeted content that corresponds to the interests of decision-makers. Coordinated content formats create relevance in the right context. The link with SEO is becoming increasingly important. Content shared by influencers not only brings traffic to the company website, but also supports visibility in search engines. This helps potential decision-makers to find the company more quickly when searching for solutions.
Another relevant approach is guest posting. Influencers or bloggers publish posts that are specifically tailored to the target group. These posts link to the company website in a meaningful way, thereby strengthening the domain authority and improving the SEO values. Decision-makers in marketing are thus provided with expertise and authentic opinions that support the purchase decision.

This combination of professional depth and authentic communication led to increased brand awareness and measurably more qualified website visits. The sustainable dovetailing of content and influencer strategy was reflected in significantly better positioning for relevant search terms.
Measurement and optimisation of the influencer strategy
Decision-makers often seek support with the question of how to measure the success of an influencer strategy in concrete terms. Important key figures include the number and quality of leads generated, the development of the conversion rate and the impact on sales. A well thought-out system for measuring success makes it possible to continuously review and adapt the strategy. Such accompanied reflection processes help to recognise the causes of changes and to further develop the strategy in a targeted manner.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) Together with an external coach, a monitoring system was implemented that regularly analysed the KPIs. Based on the results, adjustments were made to the influencer selection and content planning. This data-driven support proved to be valuable in order to react flexibly and tactically to changes in the market and target groups.
My analysis
An influencer strategy supports decision-makers in marketing with clearly structured processes, a coordinated approach to target groups, authentic influencer relationships and targeted content management with an SEO focus. Such strategies require continuous support that provides orientation and impetus. This approach creates sustainable added value without promising absolute guarantees of success. Decision-makers benefit in particular from the systematic measurement of success and a partnership-based approach that accompanies them through complex projects.
