Time Inc.<\/a> is getting into the influencer marketing business in a bigger way, with\u00a0a new offering called Time Inc. Connect.<\/p>\n

This influencer network will be \u201cpowered by\u201d startup Speakr<\/a>;\u00a0as explained to me by Time Inc.\u2019s senior vice president of digital business development and business operations Regina Buckley, this means Time Inc. Connect will combine Speakr\u2019s technology with a unique pool of influencers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy we chose Speakr is because they\u2019re really smart about the way they approach and use their analytics on behalf of marketers,\u201d Buckley said. \u201cThey have an edge there in their space, and they give us that edge in our space, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speakr CEO Marco Hansell added that the Connect network \u201ccombines the best of all the work we\u2019ve been doing,\u201d with capabilities like helping marketers identify the influencers who are the best fit for their campaign (based on factors like the tone of content they post and the demographics of their audience), plus predicting the reach and engagement of a given campaign.<\/p>\n

The influencers aren\u2019t actual Time Inc. editors or reporters, but the company said they\u2019ve been vetted by the editorial team \u2014 the initial lineup includes My Nguyen of My Healthy Dish<\/a> and Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, for example, the influencers could work with the Time Inc. team to create native ads for Time Inc. properties, then promote the message through their own sites and social media accounts.<\/p>\n

To be clear, this isn\u2019t the company\u2019s first effort to work with blog and social media influencers on marketing campaigns \u2014 Buckley said the Time Inc. different publications have \u201cstarted to naturally incorporate influencers as content creators as they became more and more important to marketers.\u201d But she said that by launching the new network, the company is centralizing the process and \u201ccreating a center of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

And even as it moves into new kinds of advertising (where the lines between content and advertising can get blurrier), Buckley said the company is maintaining a\u00a0\u201cchurch-state\u201d divide\u00a0in the process. It won\u2019t be \u201c100 percent separate,\u201d but the network will be overseen by an influencer manager from the editorial side, who will coordinate between\u00a0influencers and Time Inc. editors.<\/p>\n
