Influencer marketing might seem – at least on a certain level – to be a product of the 2010s and 2020s. However, today’s fitness and sports influencers are, in effect, part of a tradition of sports interlinking with marketing that goes as far back as the early 20th century. But whereas, generations ago, household-name sports superstars might have graced milk cartons or appeared in TV advertisements for products, today, a brand might look to capitalise on the strong pre-existing followings of sports influencers across Instagram, TikTok, and other social networks. In doing so, such brands aim to achieve greater penetration among their target audiences, while creating all the right associations in the public eye between their brand and their chosen influencers. It is an approach that is proven to help deliver impressive results for all manner of organisations.
