Influencer marketing continues to grow as brands seek genuine engagement. However, partnering with social media personalities can present significant challenges. Addressing these risks, companies are turning to advanced technologies to ensure effective and safe collaborations.
Previously, influencer vetting relied heavily on manual research, consuming extensive time and resources. Marketers had to individually assess each influencer’s history across various platforms, often missing critical information. The introduction of AI-driven solutions marks a significant improvement in efficiency and accuracy.
How does SafeCollab enhance influencer vetting?
SafeCollab automates the vetting process by utilizing large language models to analyze influencers’ content across multiple social media channels swiftly. This AI-driven module assesses the alignment of influencer content with brand values, reducing the time spent on manual research.
What risks does SafeCollab mitigate for brands?
SafeCollab helps brands avoid partnerships with influencers who may have problematic backgrounds or create controversial content. By conducting comprehensive risk assessments, it minimizes the likelihood of brand reputation damage due to influencer misconduct.
An example of the risks involved can be seen with lifestyle influencer Brooke Schofield. After collaborating with the clothing brand Boys Lie on an exclusive collection, past racist social media posts by Schofield surfaced. “
These posts were very hurtful, and I’m a changed person, having had time to learn and grow and formulate my own opinions.
” Despite her apology, Boys Lie withdrew the collaboration to protect its brand integrity.
What role does AI play in Lightricks’ offerings?
AI is central to Lightricks’ products, including SafeCollab, Photoleap, Facetune, and Videoleap. These applications leverage artificial intelligence to automate tasks, enhance creative processes, and provide intelligent solutions for various business needs.
AI tools like SafeCollab are transforming influencer marketing by providing brands with the ability to efficiently and accurately vet potential partners.
