Allbirds & Acceleration Partners: Exceptional Outcomes Through Influencer Marketing
Our award-winning campaign with Allbirds truly epitomizes the power of strategic influencer partnerships. Allbirds is a global lifestyle brand that innovates with naturally derived materials to make better footwear and apparel products. After launching an influencer program in 2020, the brand identified a need for a higher volume, diverse, and properly resourced influencer presence in their partnership marketing mix. As Allbirds’ partnership marketing agency, AP was tasked with developing a strategy that would increase the volume of influencer content being published promoting Allbirds, as well as ensuring sustainable program growth. The current influencer content being published promoting Allbirds was inconsistent, and often did not result in driving sales, despite high engagement. AP tackled Allbirds’ objectives by designing an always-on strategy that recruited several new productive influencers into the program, as well as an ongoing incentive structure to encourage sustained growth from influencers already joined. The results of this effort have driven exciting growth to the program. June 2022 through end of year saw:- +298% revenue growth
- 331% increase in average monthly content posts
- 17% increase year-over-year in influencer membership in the program
