Broadly, influencer marketing campaigns have two goals: (1) to increase awareness and (2) to encourage trial. From a marketer’s perspective, awareness campaigns are an easier-to-achieve goal and do not require any overt action on the part of consumers. Trial campaigns, which encourage consumers to make a purchase, are typically linked to consumer actions (e.g., purchase, app down- load) and therefore have a more overt persuasion intent and also a higher hurdle to generate customer engagement. These advertising goals (awareness vs. trial) can also affect the activation of persuasion knowledge of consumers, depending on whether there is a more direct advertising motive, as in the case of a trial campaign, or a less direct advertising motive, as in the case of an awareness campaign.
