在互聯網尚未普及的時代，資訊的傳遞非常「單向」，我們接觸的資訊來源主要是大眾媒體──消息經由記者接收、由記者進行消化、整理、報道，再傳達至你與我。然而，在當今的世代，資訊不單不是單向，有是「多面向」，有如蜘蛛網，你我他可以獨立連結，也可以以群組的方式地集體連繫。從群眾的角度而言，當中尤其由 KOL（Key Opinion Leader，關鍵意見領袖）扮演著舉足輕重的角色，KOL 對在社交媒體所發表的評價，不單是吸引無數跟隨者的眼球，更影響很多人的消費決定。不難明白的是，很多品牌管理者、廣告商，現在都力求找到優秀的 KOL 以達致廣告的效果。 那麼，一位優秀的 KOL 該具備什麼條件？知名度高就一定有影響力嗎？其實不然。知名度和影響力，兩者都是重要的指標，然而，兩者未必有正比的關係。 一個知名度高的 KOL，很可能有大量的支持者（即粉絲，Fans）或者跟隨者（Followers），但未必代表這位 KOL 可以影響他們的消費決定；反之，一個具有強大影響力的 KOL，可能他算不上是街知巷聞，但他的一小撮的支持者對他可是亦步亦趨。 揀選 KOL 的質與量指標 再深入一些去想，行銷人員在評核如何選擇合適的 KOL 時，該考慮什麼因素？憑藉著我們團隊所累積的經驗，在此分享一下在選擇 KOL 時需要考慮的因素。 第一，質量上（Qualitative）的指標。 我們會視乎內容切合度（Content Affinity），當中我們會經常參考的有 4 個指標： 1.相關性（Relevancy） 我們會首先看該KOL是否該產品的使用者，有否寫網上資訊（Feed），他/她本身的專長是否與該行業 / 產品有關。 2.外貌及品味（Look & Style） 在這方面，香港人的確較為膚淺，這因素對消費者而言都相當重要，我們都會看KOL在互聯網上是否表現出吸引觀眾的外貌和品味，也看他/她的言論有否正面的能量？還是較情緒化或被動？這些都是很重要的因素，因為他外貌和品味關乎到他是否與該品牌切合。 3.語氣及行為（Tone & Manner） 從 KOL 的網上發佈，我們會看看 KOL 如何用字？ 當他描述產品時，當中的用字是否切合品牌的需要？當中的語氣又是否能夠吸引（Engage）目標客戶群（Target Audience）？因為在網上，有些 KOL 有時說話較為輕佻或偏激，而如果品牌的目標客戶群是比較成熟穩重的話，這 KOL 的切合性就值得存疑了。 4.經驗（Experience & Voice） 我們會看 KOL …
