In this episode of the "Z buta w marketing" podcast, host Oskar Lipiński interviews Kacper Zdunek, owner of the Click Story agency, to dissect the challenges of influencer marketing in Poland. They begin by questioning why high‑profile celebrities often fail to generate sales, attributing it to a lack of genuine audience relationships, short‑term campaign focus, and product irrelevance. Throughout the conversation they stress that engagement, not follower count, is the decisive metric for performance. They compare platforms: Instagram is strong for relationship building, TikTok excels at storytelling, YouTube offers high‑value long‑form content but requires a clear value proposition, while Facebook fan pages signal longevity but have limited organic reach. The discussion moves to the superior ROI of micro‑influencers (10‑30 k followers) versus macro‑influencers, noting that smaller creators can achieve up to five‑times higher sales per follower. Budget allocation is debated; with a modest 3‑4 k PLN budget they recommend a 50‑50 split between barter product shipments and paid ads, and advise against spending the entire budget on a single influencer. They outline a detailed influencer selection checklist (engagement, audience demographics, fake‑follower rate, past collaborations, brand fit, PR reputation) typically comprising around ten criteria. Authenticity and long‑term strategy are highlighted as essential: brands must avoid the “awareness trap” by maintaining continuous, multi‑channel touchpoints (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) and nurturing ongoing relationships with a core group of creators. Tools such as Modash.io are used for data‑driven vetting, but the hosts stress that tools are only useful when combined with expert judgment. Industry pain points include widespread falseness, lack of knowledge among Polish marketers, and insufficient knowledge sharing. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes: Kacper’s goal to cycle 500 km in 20 hours, Oskar’s reflections on content formats (written vs spoken), and the broader trend of influencers launching their own e‑commerce shops, which often fail due to missing operational expertise. Additional insights from the later segment cover the value of mentorship and 1‑on‑1 consulting over book learning, Kacper’s personal frustrations with falseness in the industry, his personal interests (cycling, family, dog, books) that illustrate work‑life balance, and concrete career advice for newcomers: start at a top‑tier agency or brand to gain hands‑on experience, and seek mentors who are better than yourself, exemplified by Kacper’s gratitude toward his former manager Stefan at New Balance. The episode concludes with advice on continuous learning, networking with better practitioners, and the importance of measurable, authentic influencer collaborations.
