Red Havas Group, the micronetwork of borderless merged media agencies, today announced the global launch of SWAY, an end-to-end influencer marketing service designed to help clients drive authentic, engaging and effective brand conversation through influencers.
SWAY by Red Havas works with PR, social and experiential marketing teams within the agency to develop creative social-first marketing campaigns with influencers that deliver tangible business impact. The practice’s conception globally is the result of increasing recognition of influencer marketing as a performance channel and encompasses centers of excellence in Australia, Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East.
“More brands than ever before are adapting their broader strategy and communications to include significant influencer activity. Some even put influencer marketing front and center, recognizing them as a full-funnel marketing channel. It’s no longer about just a paid transaction. Brands are building long-term relationships with influencers who are advocating their messages and experience.”
James Wright
Global CEO, Red Havas Group
Global Chairman, Havas PR Global Collective
