The value of paid media with influencers.
VALERIA INC. has grown immensely in the past two years and the fact that this January was our biggest month to date tells us we’re on the same trajectory for the remainder of 2022. This growth makes me especially thankful because more partners are taking advantage of Paid Media opportunities with our partnership campaigns in the form of top-ups, syndication across platforms, blog posts, content 'boosting', and more!
We're still creating campaigns through our traditional partnership structure, but brands have the option to then purchase usage and put paid media behind the content assets we create together! This is an efficient way to drive engagement once you've already paid for content - it's the small extra push to reach a large amount of people.
And that extra push makes the difference. Boosting your content can dramatically help its performance (on average, it takes engagement and reach from 800K to over 2-3 million). See examples of our ‘boosted’ campaigns below and how you can use usage rights to continue to capitalize on your content.
What Can You Do With Paid Media?

TIKTOK
By partnering a fashion-forward look with each mascara, we were able to seamlessly integrate Valeria’s USP and appeal with Benefit’s product catalog. The product is demonstrated on Valeria while offering further value and entertainment to the audience simultaneously. Benefit Canada paid to "boost" this content, meaning they chose to promote this individual post on TikTok, allowing it to reach more people outside of Valeria’s direct following, but while leveraging her existing brand and likeness.

TIKTOK
We presented a close up of Valeria with a very natural, fresh-skin look which we know her audience will immediately recognize because of her well-known content surrounding natural skincare routines and no-makeup tutorials. Using quick transitions matched to a trending sound, we incorporated close ups of the product itself as well as Valeria applying it to her skin. The smooth and seamless application of the product is not only communicating the ease of use, it's undeniably attractive as the camera focuses on the glowing after effect of Valeria’s skin. This mini tutorial of the concentrate matched with the promotion of a discount code with Sephora encourages repeat watches and shares to friends, which ultimately drove high engagement.

TIKTOK
The power of this content is through using transitions that are native to TikTok. They're fast, which encourages repeat plays, and the spinning camera allows for a unique and subtle visual of the vehicle's wide range of features (like moveable seats and dashboard smart technology). The use of upbeat, trending music also connects to the reference in the caption. Lincoln 'boosted' all of their TikTok campaigns which drove views for each piece of content into the millions.

We know that featuring Valeria's free-spirit, humor, and positive energy in content drives the highest engagement for both organic and paid content. Paired with quick transitions highlighting specific features of Lincoln's vehicle and upbeat, trending music, this is a great example of content that successfully retains audience attention. We’ve found that TikToks between 7-12 seconds actually perform best since replays are more likely to occur, therefore positively influencing the algorithm and reaching larger audiences.

Rather than utilizing trending music like the two Lincoln content pieces before it, this piece is longer in running time and has voiceover commentary by Valeria about the vehicle features and why they impress her. We still used quick and seamless transitions between features to retain audience attention and posed a question about which feature they're most excited about - prompting engagement and repeat plays.
