Programme Overview:

Influencer Marketing has evolved from a social media tactic into a strategic growth engine for brands, startups and digital businesses. The rapid rise of the creator economy, social commerce and digital-first consumer behaviour has made influencer partnerships a critical capability for organisations seeking brand visibility, customer acquisition and measurable marketing returns.

This Executive Education programme from IIM Bangalore helps professionals understand how influencer marketing can be used strategically to drive business growth, build consumer trust and create high-impact brand collaborations. Rather than focusing only on social media content creation, the programme examines creator partnerships, campaign strategy, audience targeting, performance measurement, ROI evaluation and influencer analytics from a managerial and business perspective.

Designed for marketers, brand managers, entrepreneurs and business leaders, the programme combines strategic frameworks with real-world case studies to help participants design, execute and evaluate influencer marketing campaigns that deliver measurable business outcomes.

Programme Objectives:

This Influencer Marketing programme aims to help professionals build a strategic understanding of the creator economy and use influencer marketing as a measurable business growth tool rather than a standalone social media activity.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Develop effective influencer marketing strategies aligned with brand and business objectives.
  • Identify and evaluate the right influencers and creators based on audience relevance, credibility and campaign goals.
  • Design integrated influencer marketing campaigns across digital, social and commerce platforms.
  • Measure campaign performance using engagement, reach, conversion and ROI metrics.
