Influencer Marketing at Josera
For Josera influencer marketing happened naturally, "We just fell into it," says Lorena. In fact, the first contacts with well-known Petfluencers did not come via Instagram but offline during photo shoots with pet photographer Christian Vieler.

With the influencer contacts that were made during this time, the first campaigns were then also launched.
The challenges
Challenge #1: Finding the right influencers
After initial contacts were made offline, events such as photo shoots were becoming difficult to organise due to the pandemic. A digital approach of searching for contacts became the focus at the beginning of 2020 Searching directly on Instagram and TikTok is relatively time-consuming. In addition, it is often difficult to tell through Stories how the Petfluencers really work. Lorena and her team needed a tool that would provide answers to the questions of which influencers really fit Josera and whether both their content and the decisive KPIs fit.
Challenge #2: Monitoring and Reporting
Josera divides its Pefluencer partnerships into three categories: one-off, repeat and long-term. Content posted by influencers is also used for their own channels. It is important that the content team at Josera keeps track of all partnerships. Since most of the content of the influencer collaborations is published in Instagram Stories, screenshots had to be taken daily for proper reporting or else, Stories were lost. There was an elaborate filing system for the screenshots and videos of the stories. All in all, this procedure was a time-consuming task and due to the continuous expansion of influencer marketing, difficult for the team to manage.
Realisation with Storyclash
DISCOVERY
To discover new potential influencers, research is a necessary first step. "When searching for influencers, I use the keyword search in Storyclash a lot. Here I search for content on specific keywords to precisely reach my niche," Lorena explains. With the search term "dog AND family", for example, family bloggers with dogs can be found.

When searching for influencers, I use the keyword search in Storyclash where I can find content for specific keywords to reach my niche.
This works in the Storyclash tool "Discover Creators". The content-based influencer search engine is a special feature designed for this task. Instead of searching for specific demographic data, all content is searched directly and corresponding suggestions are made. Once suitable influencers have been found, the next step is to check the quality of the content. Lorena: "The quality of the influencers' content simply has to fit. I always ask myself: Do we fit? Does the influencer's content fit in with us and would our products also fit in with their account?” In addition, Lorena also checks the comments column directly on Instagram. It is exciting to see how influencers interact with their community, how the influencers interact with their followers are important values in the assessment of a collaboration. When analysing influencers, it is important to check their credibility and authenticity. Frequent promotions of various brands and products in a short period of time can definitely influence the credibility of the influencer and lower the value of the brand.

What is generally understandable and valid is especially true for the pet food industry. Because food changes very rarely, Once a dog or its owner has found a brand, it makes little sense to advertise the same product from another brand. Influencers are checked to confirm whether they are already in collaboration with competitors, a task that has been made much easier with Storyclash
MONITORING
When it comes to monitoring and reporting influencer campaigns, there is one challenge that many teams face - missing out on actual posted content. As most of the content is published through Instagram Stories, they are only available to view for 24 hours after which they are lost. "We used to take screenshots of all the stories. Now we can look up everything easily in Storyclash, in case we miss something." Because Storyclash saves Instagram Stories and makes them accessible, reports can easily be created after a campaign. This saves Josera's content team the trouble of a tedious filing system and also from screenshotting during the weekend.

The reports can be segmented according to different influencer groups, such as horse or dog influencers, or geographically. In addition, the media value of a campaign can be determined and the content can be compared afterwards. Because in the end, it's not just the numbers that count. As is so often the case in marketing, it's the implementation and the quality of content. With Storyclash, this can be analysed perfectly.
