CXOToday has engaged in an exclusive interview with Mr. Vishal, Founder, Ercess Live

1.  What inspired the inception of Ercess Live, and what mission or objectives were set for the company’s journey?

Response :- Ercess Live was shaped with a clear vision to revolutionize influencer marketing. Mr. Amrit and I, driven by a passion for innovation and strategic foresight, established a culture within the company that prioritizes creativity and effective problem-solving. Our mission is straightforward: to reshape industry norms, drive the creators’ economy forward, and consistently deliver outstanding results with an unwavering commitment to speed, quality, and client satisfaction.

In the dynamic landscape of transformative ideas and technological advancements, Ercess Live stands as a testament to visionary leadership. We aspire to redefine the very essence of influencer marketing, not merely as a company but as a movement shaping the industry’s dynamics.


2.  From your perspective, what are the anticipated influencer marketing trends for 2024, and how do you foresee these trends impacting the industry?

Response :- In 2024, influencer marketing is set to embrace authenticity, prioritizing niche influencers renowned for genuine connections rather than sheer follower numbers. Ercess Live is geared to navigate this trend, emphasizing quality engagement and delivering campaigns that resonate with target audiences. Furthermore, the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into our strategies anticipates an immersive future, offering enhanced consumer experiences. As we steer towards these trends, Ercess Live remains at the forefront, committed to innovation and exceeding industry standards.

3.  In the realm of influencer marketing, what is your viewpoint on the effectiveness of micro-influencers compared to celebrity influencers?

Response :- From my perspective, the effectiveness of micro-influencers versus celebrity influencers hinges on authenticity and audience engagement. Micro-influencers, with their more intimate follower base, often foster a deeper connection with their audience, translating into higher trust and credibility. This personal touch makes them effective for niche markets. On the other hand, while celebrity influencers may have broader reach, their impact can sometimes be diluted, and authenticity can be a challenge.

We recognize the power of both, but in the evolving landscape, we lean towards micro-influencers for their ability to deliver genuine, impactful campaigns that resonate more authentically with specific target audiences.


4.  How does the company ensure a proactive approach in adapting to industry shifts and evolving strategies?

Response :-At Ercess Live, we stay ahead of the game by being proactive in adjusting to industry changes and evolving strategies. We regularly analyze the market and keep an eye on emerging trends. We believe in open communication within our team, encouraging everyone to share ideas, which helps us adapt collectively.

Continuous learning is a big deal for us. We make sure our team is equipped with the latest skills to handle new challenges smoothly. Feedback, both from our team and clients, is crucial—it gives us the insights we need to tweak and improve our strategies. By embracing change and relying on our talented team, Ercess Live stays nimble and stays ahead in the ever-changing world of influencer marketing.


5.  What made that particular campaign special or uniquely impactful?

Response :- We had Mcaffeine multiple product launch campaign,  What set the campaign apart was its strategic use of micro-creators to promote the Sunscreen and Green Tea Serum. By leveraging the creativity of 74 micro-creators from diverse regions in India, the campaign achieved an impressive 39 million total views and 2 million likes, surpassing the expected outcomes. The focus on content highlighting the benefits of green tea contributed to elevating brand awareness. Crucially, the influencers not only met but exceeded commitments, delivering an average of 52,000 views against the pledged 15,000.
