Events at East Belfast Enterprise

The Go Succeed Start team hosts this in-person ‘The Power of Influencer Marketing: How to Turn Influence into Impact (Without Blowing Your Budget)’ masterclass.

Influencer marketing isn’t just for big brands with deep pockets – it’s one of the most powerful, accessible tools for small businesses and start-ups to build trust, extend reach, and increase revenue.

But there’s a catch. Without a clear strategy, influencer campaigns can fail, overspend the budget, or even damage your brand.

What to Expect:

In this interactive 2-hour session, you’ll uncover how to:

• Cut through the noise and understand what influencer marketing really is (and isn’t)
• Find and approach the right influencers who convert, not just look good
• Align influencer campaigns with your marketing objectives and target audiences.
• Measure performance (beyond likes and follows)
• Avoid common pitfalls, poor deals, and wasted expenditure
• Create a pitch and develop an influencer campaign plan for your business.

We’ll share the insider tips that successful marketers and brands use every day.

This Go Succeed workshop is open to all individuals in the early stages of their business, located in the Belfast City Council area and neighbouring Council areas.

Date and Location:

Event Date & Time: Monday 15 September | 10:00am – 12pm

Location: East Belfast Enterprise
