💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - This trick from Tom Orbach’s Marketing Ideas was too cool and original not to share. Want a really unique way to connect influencers with your brand? Use the ‘Chief’ Trick. Essentially, call someone your ‘Chief Innovation Engineer’ – a fake title that feels like it would hold a lot of weight.

💡 Insight - Instead of just paying influencers to endorse your product, this type of collaboration takes it to the next level and stands out from the crowd. For example, Virgin Voyages made Jennifer Lopez its ‘Chief Entertainment Officer’ and Ridge Wallet made Marques Brownlee its ‘Chief Creative Partner.’

Orbach notes that this works for two big psychological reasons: It increases the Parasocial Interaction Effect and gives fans an even deeper attachment to your brand. It also hits on the Halo Effect, which transfers fans’ positive emotions towards influencers towards your brand.

And no, you don’t actually have to give the influencer the real role at your company – just the name is enough to increase the impact of your campaign together. Honestly, the weirder, the better. So, do you wanna be our Chief Growth Hacker?
