What steps can be taken to create a backstory, interests and target audience for successful AI Influencer’s?

Face it, securing a celebrity endorsement for your small business feels like winning the lottery.  Astronomical fees, scheduling nightmares and brand alignment woes – the struggle is real.  

But what if there was a solution that offered 24/7 availability, complete brand loyalty and the ability to connect with laser focus on your target audience? 

AI influencers are the latest marketing marvels that are shaking up the business world, especially for SMEs.

BEYOND LIKES AND FOLLOWERS [THE RISE OF AI INFLUENCERS]

Gone are the days when influencer marketing solely relied on charismatic celebrities or social media stars with millions of followers.  Today, a new breed of influencer is taking center stage –  one powered by artificial intelligence (AI).  These virtual personalities can be meticulously crafted to embody your brand values, resonate with your target audience and deliver targeted messaging with unmatched efficiency.

CRAFTING YOUR AI SUPERSTAR [ BACKSTORY, INTERESTS & AUDIENCE ]

This section will be divided into three subheadings to provide a clear roadmap for building your AI influencer :

1. Forging a Memorable Backstory 

People connect with stories.  Give your AI influencer a compelling origin narrative that aligns with your brand values.  Are they a cutting-edge robot created to simplify shopping experiences?  A sustainability champion promoting eco-friendly practices?  Flesh out their story to create a relatable and engaging persona.

2. Defining Their Passions 

What makes your AI influencer tick?  Do they have a passion for fashion, a love for travel or a keen interest in environmental issues?  Align their interests with your target audience to make them a natural fit and spark genuine connections.

3. Identifying Your Ideal Customer 

Before you launch your AI influencer, pinpoint your target audience.  Consider demographics, interests and online behavior.  By understanding who you want to reach, you can tailor the influencer’s content and platform presence to resonate deeply with them.

MEET THE REAL ‘AI SUPERSTARS’ 

The world of AI influencers is no longer a scene from science fiction.  Here are a few examples of virtual influencers who are already making waves :
