WHAT WE LEARNT

1. The right timing, influencer and content can result in a bigger reach.The campaign timing coincided
with Da L.E.S’s single launch which was made available on Deezer. Da L.E.S was a relevant influencer,
with big reach, who shared content that resonated with his audience at the right time.

“ Turnup my new single P.A.I.D ft @akaworldwide & @burnaboy on Deezer now: http//t.co/jE7tkCusoH #VCDeezer #DaLesPaid http://lca/ayg5WeRVBM ”

2.Brands should trust influencers to create content that is aligned with their objectives, but still
resonates with the influencer’s audience. LiveSA provided value to their audience with their
content, but not just listing why they use Deezer, but by giving their own personally
recommended ‘Monday Blues’ playlist in a blog post.

They generated 12 578 blog views with their "Monday Blues" playlist

3.Influencers spark conversation with other influencers.
