THE INFLUENCER EFFECT: THE HEAT OF PREVENTION-HOW CIGNA USED INFLUENCER MARKETING TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR

Americans use preventive services at about half the recommended rate, even though it’s a covered benefit with most health plans. If everyone got the preventive care they needed, the CDC estimates 100,000 lives could be saved. So how do we get people to see doctors when they’re healthy to catch & prevent problems early? Cigna engaged a group of TV doctors to help encourage Americans to see a real doctor for their annual check-up. In the campaign’s first 2 years, Cigna saw an 18% increase in annual check-ups.

The follower count is frequently used to calculate rewards, but this is a crude metric to assess the output of an Instagram influencer campaign. Solberg Audunsson, CEO of Takumi, breaks down what is behind the follower count, how to think about and tackle fraud and what tools are available to advertisers today to reduce waste at various points in the pipeline.
