Then, you will want to create a content plan that outlines the ways in which you’ll be leveraging those influencers and how it all ties together and exactly what content you would like shared, when. 

Increase reach and the impact of your event

If you are hosting a conference for example, consider reaching out to influencers prior to the event and ask them to help build interest in your event. 

This could be having an influencer lead a pre-event virtual Q&A session with attendees or learn what topics are driving your influencers performance now and what their schedule is like for the coming weeks / months. 

Then you can work on topics that the influencer is genuinely interested in so that their articles, social shares and promotions will be more relevant to their audience and more effective in generating interest in your event.
