Angela Seits Talks About Converting Influencer Likes Into Sales
David Gong
With PMG since 2012, David Gong has led marketing initiatives at PMG, drawing on his past experience at agencies, publishers, and industry partners.
As influencer marketing moves in a million different directions, there is growing stagnation of the platforms influencers are using to push their content out. IGTV has yet to catch on in a tangible way while Snapchat has become a throwaway channel, leaving Instagram and YouTube as the predominant platforms.

It’s not because creators weren’t driving value for social platforms like YouTube and Instagram. Rather, it’s because, in a pay-to-play ecosystem of social advertising, influencers were essentially cannibalising advertising dollars that could have been invested in paid social as brands temporarily found a new way to gain organic reach through creator content.
