YouTube Shorts Added to Google: The Rise in Social Search Is Changing Influencer Marketing

With the recent integration of YouTube Shorts into Google search desktop results, a unique opportunity has emerged for influencer marketers to harness the power of social search.

Influencer marketers now have a valuable opportunity to optimise their content for social media activity and traditional SEO, increasing their visibility in search results. Social search highlights the need for an active and optimised social media presence across multiple platforms.

✨ Campaign of the week: Summer Fridays

Summer Fridays takes the crown for campaign of the week this time around. After their majorly successful Endless Summer Beach Club pop-up event for customers at Bondi Beach back in February, they're back on their influencer marketing grind.

This week, Summer Fridays has been using influencers to include their products in classic Get Ready with Me videos. They're fun, aesthetically pleasing and advertise the product very clearly.

They've been using this style of marketing consistently when they release new products, and it's been generating great hype on social media.

💭 Thursday thoughts

Fulfilling your potential means it's not potential anymore and nobody wants to be someone with no potential.

An inspiring reminder that the journey is half of the achievement. In the words of Taylor Swift, you aren't going nowhere just because you aren't where you want to be yet!
