The research mandate as a whole will look to understand the value product influencers have on a consumer's purchasing cycle and how this data can be leveraged to positively impact a brand's sales and revenue.
With an innovative approach to the quantification of social influence, Keller Fay will team up with a top level academic from a leading U.S. business school. The research will create a social value score that will quantify the value of advice and recommendations from the client's membership base of product experts and influencers, relative to non-experts. Research will provide insights into two key dimensions as it relates to earned social media: how influential their members are compared to non-members, and why their membership base of experts is more influential.
"Social influence is redefining the consumer and brand power dynamic and with that, word of mouth peer recommendations have gained significant weight in the consumer purchasing cycle. Recommendations from influencers are more key than ever, but brands want proof that their conversations drive sales, and that's what our research will provide -- hard metrics about the ways in which influencer recommendations translate to sales and revenue," said Ed Keller, President at Engagement Labs and CEO at Keller Fay.
"Through this comprehensive research we will provide our client with a powerful new metric and related insights into the value word of mouth influence among their network, in both professional and personal situations. We are proud to be selected for this important study, continuing to build on our expertise in influencer research and analytics," said Keller.
