[2016] 20 BEST Mid-Tier Bloggers in Singapore!
Friday, February 26, 2016
Despite more companies allocating more budgets for influencer marketing in their marketing strategy, most brands simply cannot afford to hire the big name, celebrity-tier bloggers anymore. Spending $1000 for a single Instagram post, even for a large brand, is just not cost effective and doesn’t move the needle long term.
There has been a shift of influencer marketing from quantity of reach to quality of content:
"Using a celebrity influencer runs the risk of “flash in the pan” marketing. Sure, you’ll get a big push up front, but in a month or two, when views and engagement on your content bounce back to slightly above normal, it’ll feel like a massive waste of money. The people that hopped over to the brands account came for the influencer, not the brand." - Medium.com
"Brands and agencies alike are investing more into content creation specialists i.e. influencers that have a healthy balance of followers + creative/business acumen. Perhaps the influencer of the future is someone that can consistently ideate, execute, distribute, and repeat — without depleting whole budgets on a single Snapchat story." - Medium.com
Brands are now looking to engage more mid-tier bloggers that can create interesting content at half of the price of what celebrity bloggers ask for.
Mid-tier bloggers are largely the hardworking bloggers that you will see in a lot of events, always cracking their brains for that perfect shot of #ootd or #foodporn. They do not create drama nor badmouth others in order to attract attention to themselves. Best of all, mid-tier bloggers are all very friendly and will not ostracise new bloggers, because they understand the struggle and competition of this industry. In summary, the bloggers in this list are: fun, creative, and exudes an amiable warmth after the first "hello!".
Here is a list of the BEST Mid-Tier Bloggers in Singapore for 2016, in no particular order.
