Influencer marketing in South Africa
KNOW THE AUDIENCE. SHAPE THE BRIEF.
South African campaigns benefit from deliberate audience choices across language, community, category and creative style.

CONTEXT CREATES RELEVANCE.
South African campaign audiences can differ by province, city, language, community and category. isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans, English and other languages should be selected because they fit the audience and creator.
A national brief still needs explicit choices about who the work is for. Creator casting should account for community relationship, category credibility and the format the audience expects.
