Global brands that grew through influencer marketing
In an oversaturated world of influencer marketing, you need a careful strategy to draw in consumers and make them fans of your products. Simply holding up the product and chatting about how much you love it, highlighting points that are clearly scripted is no longer going to make any impact.
Whether it’s through having a viral campaign with popular influencers or utilizing a trend that can generate lots of user generated content, let’s look at some brands that have managed to get noticed through carrying out influencer marketing.
1. Bloom Nutrition

Bloom is a wellness brand that offers high-quality greens and superfoods and is currently one of the best-selling products on e-commerce platform Amazon. Their products go viral on TikTok regularly, largely due to their very effective influencer marketing strategy. The hashtag #bloompartner, which is the name of their influencers, has over 32K posts on TikTok.

Bloom is a great example of a brand that makes use of making the product appear organically in influencer’s content. Instead of making a video entirely dedicated to the product, influencers naturally show it as part of their everyday life. Examples of content produced are having Bloom before getting ready for the day, buying it while on a grocery run, or having it before starting an intense workout session.

Rather than paying influencers to promote their products, Glossier heavily makes use of UGC (us er-generated content), turning their users, followers, and customers into influencers by reposting their content to their brand account. They will also choose from influencers whose content they repost and invite them to be brand ambassadors, which fosters a sense of inclusivity. The term that “everyone is an influencer” really applies to this brand.
3. Better Help

Mental health is something that is being openly spoke about on many platforms by both experts and influencers. One name comes to mind, and that’s Better Help, a platform that provides direct online counseling and therapy services.
It’s difficult to find an influencer’s video on YouTube that doesn’t promote Better Help, notably so since according to an article published by Outloud group, a staggering 1,914 sponsored videos were posted over 90 days in 2023.
