Since recording this episode Tom Augenthaler has become a personal friend of mine and has advised me exactly what I should and should not be doing in regards to my influencer contracts.
I believe that working with influencers is another strategy that all businesses should be looking towards, it’s important to not count on only one stream of traffic to your business and influencer marketing is another way you can add to your pipeline, but as mentioned make sure your influencer contracts are clearly laid out so both parties are protected and is clear what is to be expected.

Toms a great guy.
I follow a lot of these influencers and I’d rank Tom up among them all with his knowledge & expertise on Entrepreneurship and Marketing.
Over the weekend I listened to Mikkel’s interview with Tom Augenthaler regarding influencer marketing. I’m glad I listened to the interview as it gave me a deeper understanding of how influencer marketing should be an area that I should spend more time thinking about. While I have to admit, I originally thought that influencer marketing was just used by large organizations, I can now see how it can be applied for use in SME, and even in my own consulting business.. Great interview Mikkel, especially how you did a deeper dive into the subject so it can be applied to all size businesses!
You have done so much in such a small article. It is quite impressive. The blog urges us to reflect on important things. Thanks!
