Key stat: Reach is the most popular metric for measuring the success of influencer marketing programs among US enterprise marketers, per a Linqia study.

Beyond the chart:

• Multitouch attribution (MTA) and media mix modeling (MMM) are only used by 6% of US enterprise marketers. But 30.1% of US marketers at companies that have spent more than $500,000 on digital advertising in the past 12 months consider MMM the best type of measurement for identifying brand value and business outcome drivers, according to an EMARKETER study conducted in partnership with Snap.
• Marketers are likely prioritizing reach, engagement rate, and conversions when working with influencers because these metrics are readily available. But less commonly used metrics like MMM and brand lift may provide marketers with a more holistic view of how influencer marketing campaigns perform.
