"The ad:tech conference is the perfect venue to debut our new cloud-based software that helps advertisers move from the invisibility of the sidebar and into the main attention-getter for consumers – relevant and meaningful content," said TapInfluence's Banks. "Brands can now connect and interact with millions of consumers in meaningful and authentic ways through our platform, and tap into our searchable marketplace of more than 100,000 registered social influencers."

Influencer marketing is vitally important to brand marketers as consumers increasingly ignore banner ads and turn to social networks where friends, peers and like-minded people share purchase-related content. This social content – which is more trusted, authentic and effective than digital advertising – is the basis for effective influencer marketing. Meanwhile, as brands build their own communities of social influencers, the job of managing programs and monitoring content across social networks has become extremely time-consuming. TapInfluence automates all aspects of influencer marketing, including influencer identification and activation, content distribution and ROI-based analysis.  

Starting out in 2009 as BlogFrog, the company recently re-launched as TapInfluence to reinforce its mission to help brands connect with a growing array of social influencers and to establish mutually beneficial relationships that result in impactful social marketing campaigns that are based on trusted, authentic content. A long-time champion of the blogger, the company pioneered large-scale influencer marketing programs that reach millions of consumers across all social networks. Now, its cloud-based software platform helps marketers streamline how they work with influencers and engage with consumers in ways that are lasting and meaningful. Executing on its strategy to automate the influencer marketing process, expand its influencer community beyond bloggers and create the first interactive marketplace to facilitate the influencer/brand relationship, TapInfluence counts more than 70 leading digital agencies and Fortune 1000 brands as customers.
