Description of OCN Certification
The public may rest easy knowing that a certified oncology nurse has the necessary training, experience, and understanding to provide care for patients with cancer.
Adult oncology RNs may get certified via the Oncology Nursing Society.
Whether in the role of a nurse practitioner, nurse administrator, educator, researcher, or consultant, OCN is useful.
[Menonna-Quinn, 2022
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
Even though having an RN license shows that you have the fundamental abilities necessary to begin working in the industry, it doesn’t necessarily show your commitment to furthering your education or impressing your future employers or patients. The Oncology Certified Nurse credential is known as the OCN credential. Having this credential means that a nurse is competent in caring for cancer patients, from providing them with emotional support and information to aiding in their treatment and keeping track of their medical data (Menonna-Quinn, 2022).
2
Process to obtain OCN Certification;
Collect the data and proof you need.
Make an application for the examination.
Cover the cost of the examination.
Participate in the examination.
Get the official certificate.
[Menonna-Quinn, 2022]
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is required at a bare minimum for certification in oncology nursing. You’ll need at least a year of nursing experience and 1,000 hours of clinical oncology experience after earning your RN license.
3
Application and Testing Cost;
There are 165 multiple-choice questions and the exam lasts for three hours.
Costs between $225 and $296 for ON/APHON subscribers.
Price ranges from $315 to $416 for those who are not members.
[Menonna-Quinn, 2022]
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
A non-member may pay $416 to take the OCN certification test in its entirety. Exams typically cost $350, but if you’re an ONS/APHON member, you’ll just have to pay $296. The exam fee is $225, while ONS/APHON members 65 and above pay just $175. It costs $315 if you’re not a member and you’re 65 or older for the test. Further savings may be available at certain times and dates; see the ONCC website for details (Menonna-Quinn, 2022).
4
Requirements Prior to Certification;
Candidates must have a valid RN license in either the US or Canada.
No more than five of the ten contact hours allowed for medical school.
Minimum of two years’ experience in the nursing profession.
Certification requires 2,000 hours of adult oncology experience during the last four years.
Required: Oncology-specific CME of at least ten (10) contact hours.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
A minimum of two years’ experience in the nursing field and two thousand hours of cancer nursing experience during the previous four years are necessary (Menonna-Quinn, 2022). It’s possible for nurses to work in administration, clinical practice, teaching, research, or consultancy. In addition, during the last three years before applying, the nurse must have completed at least 10 contact hours of cancer-specific continuing education or an academic elective in oncology nursing (Menonna-Quinn, 2022).

OCN Test Description and Renewal Time and Process
It will take you three hours to finish the test.
There are 165 multiple-choice questions in the test.
The final score is based on your performance on 145 out of a possible 165 questions.
Expect a minimum of 620 to pass.
Renewal time and process
After every four years, certificants must retake and pass the OCN exam again.
Turning in your points is the first thing you need to do when renewing.
Send in your renewal application as the second step.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
Both questions and incomplete statements with four possible responses are included; many facets of oncology nursing are tested (Menonna-Quinn, 2022). Obtaining a new OCN is necessary once the current one expires. It takes between 8 and 12 weeks for the application and points to be reviewed throughout the certificate renewal procedure. Online form filling and point submission are both part of the renewal application procedure (Menonna-Quinn, 2022). In order to renew, one may either earn practice hours and professional development points, earn practice hours and points, or earn both practice hours and professional development points (Menonna-Quinn, 2022).
6
Required Items for Renewal
One such option involves doing both practice hours and continuing education.
Time spent studying and passing a second attempt (choice 2).
Continued education and passing scores on retakes are examples of ways to improve one’s career prospects.
Maintain a valid, unencumbered RN license in good standing at all times.
[Menonna-Quinn, 2022
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
There are two parts to the application for certification renewal.
Submit your LearningBuilder points AND submit a renewal application by going to “My Account” and then “Renew my Certification.”
You may find out how many points you need to renew and in what categories by looking at your test results report the first time you renew your certification after completing a test. The evaluation will be taken shortly following each Option 1 (points) renewal. You may find out how many points you need for your next renewal in the report detailing your evaluation findings. If at all possible, take the test in the first year of your certification cycle. Doing so will provide you the longest possible window in which to rack up points. If you need to renew your membership, you have until January 31 to take the exam.

Problem Description
Problem Statement: Knowledge deficit r/t OCN certification among hospice nurses of the oncology floor in a hospital setting as manifested by severe pain of terminally ill patients.
When compared to other oncology certificates, CANO/ACIO stands out as one whose exclusive focus is improving the quality of oncology nursing care.
By focusing on four key areaspractice, education, research, and leadershipit promotes the overall growth of nurses as individuals and professionals.
Being primarily a Canadian accreditation, CANO/ACIO has little traction in the United States.
It follows that RNs in the US are less likely to be familiar with CANO/ACIO than RNs in other countries.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
For this reason, the certification was chosen: the information and training it provides may make a protracted hospital stay for terminally ill patients much more bearable. The certification is important for nurses to be aware of so that they may improve their skills in cancer nursing and better serve patients in their last stages of life.
8
Scholarly Article Key Points
There are several obstacles plaguing the current American health care system.
Health care providers must work together to share knowledge, streamline operations, and make the most of limited resources.
The two most novel approaches to addressing these issues, strengthening the nurse as a leader and elevating the profession via certification, are essential.
There has been a recent trend toward the development of clinical nurse leaders (CNLs) among those working in intensive care units.
Moreover, for better patient outcomes, national and regional nursing leadership and certification are critically required.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
This article’s researchers look at how oncology nurse certification (OCN) affects nurses’ pain awareness and management skills, as well as the outcomes for their patients. Certified nurses have more knowledge than their non-certified peers, according to Kim & Lee (2020), but this information has little bearing on patient outcomes since certified nurses don’t put it into practice. It should be noted that the authors do acknowledge certain caveats to the research that may impact the reliability of the findings.
9
Scholarly Article Connection
A lot of weight should be given to the trained nurses’ expertise in determining the final results for patients.
A greater effort is required from nurses.
Improving healthcare is possible via the use of knowledge.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
In order to alleviate their suffering, terminally sick cancer patients often seek the help of nurses who are well-versed in pain management. In spite of the fact that Kim & Lee (2020) discovered that the certified nurses’ elevated levels of knowledge had no effect on patient outcomes, the findings demonstrated the need of nurses taking more effort. Thus, a qualified nurse’s approach to applying information appropriately helps alleviate suffering for terminally ill patients in hospitals. As a result of their accreditation, clinical nurse leaders may demonstrate their outstanding leadership abilities and impact on patient outcomes. At the point of care, they are able to make necessary adjustments and enhance processes. CNLs have a direct effect on the quality and safety of care provided to seriously sick patients because of the leadership they provide (Kim & Lee, 2020).

Scholarly Article Connection Contd
In order to pass the test, you need some real world experience.
Skills necessary for taking charge and making sound choices.
Opportunity to teach and provide guidance.

There is a minimum threshold of experience needed to sit for a certification exam in the nursing field, and this helps ensure that those who pass are well-prepared to provide quality care. In addition, you’ll need to hone your leadership and decision-making skills to do well on the exam. As a result, nurses who have earned their oncology nursing certification may assume leadership roles and educate their peers (Kim & Lee, 2020).

Conclusion
Oncology nursing certification has been the topic of this lecture.
The steps necessary to get the OCN accreditation have also been spelled out.
The cost of certification is also specified, starting at $225 in the United States and Canada. Senior citizens who are ONS or APHON members.
This paper presents a problem statement describing a gap in knowledge about effective cancer pain management options among oncology nurses.
This presentation is essentially a synopsis of a research paper.
The article’s core argument is that nurse certification and expanding the nurse leadership position are the two most promising new approaches to improving the U.S’ healthcare system.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
A certified oncology nurse (OCN) has the knowledge and skills to aid in cancer treatment and provide expert hospice care to those towards the end of their lives. Palliative care nurses’ lack of expertise causes unnecessary suffering for terminally sick cancer patients. Using statistical surveys, the article evaluates how trained nurses stack up against their non-certified counterparts in terms of knowledge and ability. The increased expertise of trained nurses has not translated into improved patient outcomes.
12
Conclusion contd
Reasons learnt include;
RNs should prioritize obtaining their certification.
Certification in oncology is a mark of competence, expertise, and professionalism for registered nurses.
Leadership qualities are important for RNs.
Effective leadership and professional recognition are two ways RNs might improve health outcomes for their patients.
CONFIDENTIAL 2020 Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved.
This presentation concludes that trained nurses’ degree of knowledge has little effect on patient outcomes because of the need of additional effort on their part. Certified nurses, however, may help train their less experienced colleagues by sharing their knowledge and expertise. Nurses should seek out education that will improve their ability to do research and teach others, since this will ultimately lead to a more highly qualified nursing workforce and better patient outcomes. The excellent quality of care provided to terminally ill patients may be improved by increasing the number of chances for certified nurses to get practical experience.

ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS
Directions: Prior to completing this template, carefully review Week 2: Direct Care Part 1 directions and all rubric requirements.
Assessment of Certification, Patient Outcomes, and Leadership
1. State the clinical certification and target population that were approved by your instructor in the Week 2: Direct Care Part 1 Assessment and Diagnosis Check-In.
a. Clinical certification
My clinical qualification is Oncology Certified Nursing (OCN), which was accepted by my professor.
b. Target population including setting
Oncology treatment facilities are the location, and the intended audience is registered nurses caring for patients with cancer.
2. Discuss why this clinical certification was selected in relationship to the selected setting.
In cancer treatment facilities, patients often need specialist care. By specializing in the care of cancer patients, nurses who have earned the Oncology Certified Nursing credential have the knowledge and skills necessary to offer patients with the most effective treatments and support. Caring for terminally ill patients in a stable condition requires oncology nurses to experience a wide range of feelings every day. Care plans for patients with cancer benefit greatly from the input of other medical specialties. Patient care is improved at oncology treatment facilities where nurses have undergone specialized training and earned the Oncology Certified Nursing credential.
3. Describe the criteria for selected clinical certification
a. The process to obtain clinical certification.
Achieving OCN accreditation requires passing five tests. The first thing to do is use the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation’s online calculator to see whether you have enough experience to take the exam. After determining whether or not the person has the necessary expertise, the Certification Registration Manual is printed. In this section, he or she may verify that he or she will be tested on the appropriate topics by reviewing the Test Content Outline. Taking a practice exam to become used to the format of the actual exam is the third stage. After that, you’ll need to study, collect your Continuing Education (CE) information, and apply for your OCN certification. In order to take the exam, those who qualify are given a document called an Authorization to Test (ATT), which includes a deadline of 90 days.
b. Cost of application and testing
To take the OCN certification test as a non-member would set you back $416. As an APHON/ONS member, you may take the OCN test for just $296. Those 65 and above pay $225 if they are members, or $315 if they are not.
c. Requirements before certification
Typically, a BSN or an ASN is required for entry-level nursing positions.
The equivalent of at least two thousand hours of study in the field of oncology Expertise as an oncology nurse with adult patients is required.
Be a registered nurse with at least two years’ experience within the last four years.
Attendance at ten oncology-related programs during the last three years is required.
d. Examination description
There are 165 multiple-choice questions on the exam, and they are all based on the six categories included in the OCN Test Content Outline. Every section of the exam will get a certain proportion of your total three hours.
e. Renewal time and process
8-12 weeks is the time required for the renewal process. Points are submitted in LearningBuilder as part of a two-stage certification application procedure. Next, pick “My Account” and then “Renew my certification” to submit your renewal application. A certification’s validity lasts for four years from the day it was earned.
f. Required items for renewal
Modern OCN accreditation.
Possession of a valid and unrestricted RN license valid for practice in the 50 United Statesor Canada.
An R.N. degree and at least a year of relevant work experience within the last three years are prerequisites.
Over the last 2.5 years, you’ve worked as an oncology nurse for at least 1000 hours with adults.
4. Provide APA reference for one peer-reviewed scholarly professional nursing journal article connecting patient outcomes, clinical certification, and leadership skills. See reference criteria under directions and include Permalink.
Gillet, N., Fouquereau, E., Coillot, H., Bonnetain, F., Dupont, S., Moret, L., Anota, A., & Colombat, P. (2018). Ethical leadership, professional caregivers’ well-being, and patients’ perceptions of quality of care in oncology.

5. Summary of article (one to two paragraphs)
The purpose of this paper was to explore the connection between employee satisfaction on the job and patients’ evaluations of the quality of treatment they received. The authors dug further into the link between ethical leadership and the subjective experience of care for patients. Gillet et al. (2018) state that leaders in the nursing profession advocate for their patients, take initiative, and think critically across all practice contexts, roles, and domains. Therefore, effective nursing leadership is crucial to the success of patients, healthcare systems, and individual practitioners. In this essay, the author argues that leaders should see nursing as a series of decisions and interventions with the potential to improve patients’ lives. With this in mind, nurses are encouraged to see their profession as a permanent call to social justice activism. This calls for a shift in nursing practice away from a singular emphasis on people and toward a more population-centric approach to care.
6. How could
patient outcomes in the selected setting be improved by certified nurses?
By using their leadership skills within professional nursing organizations, both individually and collectively, certified nurses may influence politicians to enhance the quality of care provided to cancer patients at oncology treatment facilities. Nursing professionals have a unique opportunity to impact community and individual health outcomes by advocating for the inclusion of socioeconomic determinants of health in the work of policymakers like research funding agencies, health ministries, and national cancer control organizations.
7. How can clinical certification impact
leadership skills in the selected setting?
Leaders in the nursing field of cancer care might benefit from the knowledge and experience gained via the Oncology Certified Nursing program. This accreditation encourages cancer treatment center nurse leaders to act as catalysts for change, knowledge creation, and patient advocacy. moreover, they aid patients and their loved ones in navigating the healthcare system, which may be especially confusing while dealing with cancer since there are so many different options available.
Problem Diagnosis Statement
Write a diagnosis based on the problem of a knowledge deficit of certifications. Fill in the blanks below.
Example: Knowledge deficit r/t CNOR certification among operating room nurses (target population and setting) as manifested by wrong site surgeries (patient outcomes)
Less-than-ideal care for cancer patients is a symptom of the widespread lack of Oncology Certified Nursing accreditation among the registered nurses who work in oncology treatment clinics (patient outcomes).

PREFACE
Digital marketing is a journey that can take an organisation towards new markets,
discover new opportunities and protect the current landscape. In the digital marketing
journey you can choose to be a navigator or a passenger. As a navigator you explore
options, set the course and lead the way. As a passenger you can sit back and take
in the scenery or you can lean forward and advise the navigator.
Whilst digital marketing was established 20 years ago and is one of the fastest moving
and most exciting aspects of marketing today, there are fewer universities and colleges
providing digital marketing education. As a result there is still a lack of understanding
and fewer established frameworks to make it easier to adapt business practices and
adopt new ways of working. This book aims to provide that understanding and share
the latest concepts to apply in organisations, whether you are a student working on
a case study, or heading into your placement year, or juggling a part-time vocational
marketing module with work.
Students can think of this textbook as a digital marketing roadmap, a blueprint for
your digital journey, to enable you to become navigators rather than passengers.
The book contains three key parts. Depending on your knowledge you may start at
Part 1 or jump straight into Parts 2 or 3.
Part 1, Digital Marketing Essentials, equips you with a useful context to the digital
landscape. Discover the key concepts to understand how we arrived in this new world
and comprehend more about the changing digital consumer.
Part 2, Digital Marketing Tools, provides a rich source of the key components. It
starts with an overarching toolbox that explores all possible digital marketing tactics,
followed by more detail with dedicated chapters on content marketing, online com-
munities, mobile marketing and augmented, virtual and mixed reality. It is critical to
understand the tools available before embarking on a digital strategy.
Once you have comprehended the digital marketing tools, this is a good time to
explore Part 3, Digital Marketing Strategy and Planning. This part investigates digital
audit frameworks to ensure you are ready to develop the strategy and objectives,
before building the digital marketing plan. Newer issues, including social media
management, managing resources, digital marketing metrics, analytics and report-
ing, are included. The part concludes with methods of integrating, improving and
transforming digital marketing, enabling you to apply the knowledge and tools gained
though the chapters.
Enjoy the journey and lets start the campaign to create more digital navigators!

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The fast-changing digital landscape provides many opportunities for marketers. It is
important to understand key concepts such as ubiquitous computing and how the
pace of technology has changed. This chapter explains how traditional marketing
models like Diffusion of Innovation are still valid and apply to online opinion lead-
ers, as well as differences between generations.
We explore the meaning and impact of digital disruption and the Internet of Things,
with new business models emerging to understand how this applies to consum-
ers. In a world where your personal information has value, you can discover more
about big data and privacy issues that affect marketing plans. The last part of this
chapter considers bitcoin and blockchain and how this might influence the future of
data management.
1.2 A NEW ERA
The growth of digital marketing has changed the relationship between businesses
and customers. Scholars and practitioners agree that organisations are keen to use
digital marketing to engage with their customers and we have moved into a new era
where things look different.
KEY TERM UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
The term ubiquitous computing was originally coined by Mark Weiser, who was head of the
Computer Science Laboratory at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) when writing in
Scientific American in 1991 (Weiser, 1991). At that time Weiser commented that in the future
there would be computers everywhere and we would not notice their presence; they would
just be there.
Some decades later, we have computers at home and with us at university; they are embed-
ded in our mobiles, wearables, in cars, in outdoor billboards everywhere. We have reached
Weisers vision that computers are integrated seamlessly into the world at large (p. 94).
One of the reasons for these trends and the change in the digital landscape is due to
the acceleration in the adoption of new technologies. It took more than 50 years for
over 50% of US households to adopt telephones (imagine life with no phone!), nearly
20 years to adopt home computers, yet it took less than 10 years for the same group
to adopt smartphones.
In a pre-digital age, you booked a holiday by visiting the travel agents on the high
street. It was only on arrival at your holiday destination that you saw what the hotel
really looked like. Today you will go online, read reviews, see traveller photos or
holiday snaps others have shared and ask questions of people who have actually
visited the destination IRL (= in real life).

1.2.1 THE PACE OF TECHNOLOGY SUBSTITUTION
Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Ron Adner and Rahul Kapoor (2016) explored
the pace of technology substitution and suggested that the speed of replacement was
based on ecosystems. Old technology ecosystems may find product extension oppor-
tunities whereas the new technology ecosystems need to counter these challenges.
Within their framework there are four quadrants, as shown in Figure 1.1, which can
be described as:
Creative destruction, where there are few challenges to the new tech and few
opportunities for the old tech, resulting in fast substitution.
Robust coexistence, where the old tech fights back and brings out alternatives
and a gradual substitution takes place.
Illusion of resilience, where the new tech moves in with few challenges.
Robust resilience, where old tech fights back and new tech challenges, bringing
about a gradual substitution.

It could be argued that there are limitations to this framework as the research was
based on a five-year study in the semiconductor manufacturing industry and adop-
tion of new products is not always based on product desire, but also availability.
In some countries it is harder to get a landline phone than a mobile. The landline
requires wires and major investment whereas a mobile network is simpler to deploy.
At the same time, growth in landline telephone ownership is declining sharply, espe-
cially in the G12 industrially advanced nations. Explore the latest statistics on the
Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D, 2017).
Activity 1.1 Analyse Technology Change
1. Working in groups, use Figure 1.1, the framework for analysing the pace of technology substi-
tution, to analyse the types of technology changes that you have witnessed in your lifetime.
2. What were the greatest changes?
3. Why was this?
4. Are there any difficulties ensuring all four quadrants in the framework are included?
How do we learn about new products or what influences our judgement to adopt new
technology? In 1944 sociologists and behavioural scientists Paul Lazarsfeld, Bernard
Berelson and Hazel Gaudet conducted a study to see how mass media affected voters
in the US election campaign for President Franklin Roosevelt (Lazarsfeld et al., 1944).
The surprising result of their research was that it was influencers, or opinion leaders,
not the media, that had the greatest impact. Influencers, who received the messages
from what at that time were mainly traditional newspapers and radio, shared this
with their followers.
1.2.2 TWO-STEP FLOW THEORY OF
COMMUNICATIONS
The research was further developed by Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz who named this
the two-step flow theory of communications (Lazarsfeld and Katz, 1955) where the
media communication was received by the influencer and then passed to other
individuals.
There were limitations to the two-step flow theory of communications. It was based on
one piece of research, which meant that it was not necessarily generalisable to other
situations. It may be that this was a set of exceptional circumstances that could not be
repeated. Another issue is that it was a simplistic binary model which assumed that this
is how mass media worked. As a result of these limitations, the model was extended
from two to multiple steps (the multi-step flow), which was developed by John Robinson
(Robinson, 1976) and was used as a basis for other communications theories.
THE DIGITAL MARKETING LANDSCAPE 7
A key aspect of the digital environment is that we have moved from two-step or
multi-step to a totally different understanding of communications with newer models
emerging, such as media richness (see Chapter 11, Social Media Management) and
uses and gratifications theory (see Chapter 13, Digital Marketing Metrics, Analytics
and Reporting), although at the same time some much older theories, such as diffu-
sion of innovations, have remained valid.
KEY TERM DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIONS
In 1962 Everett Rogers published a book entitled Diffusion of Innovations, which was based on
the two-step flow of communications and explored the conditions that increased or decreased
the likelihood of product adoption.
In this model, based on how a product gains momentum and spreads or diffuses through
a group, Rogers proposed five adopter categories (1) innovators; (2) early adopters; (3) early
majority; (4) late majority; (5) laggards which considered the time at which an individual
adopted an innovation.
The five adopter categories were ideal types fabricated to make comparisons, and Rogers
recognised these generalisations. There was criticism of the terminology no one wanted to be
considered as a laggard, which was perceived as being a negative label. Table 1.1 shows some
of the general characteristics identified, which I have adapted to apply to digital marketing.
The one notable category is that early majority were seen as opinion leaders, an idea
which was identified in the two-step flow theory of communications and which reverberates
within digital marketing as organisations strive to seek those to influence product adoption.
Table 1.1 Adopter categories and general characteristics

(5) Laggards Suspicious of inventions and only

Rogers generalised that opinion leaders (see Key Term) were more cosmopolitan
than their followers. One prescient observation from Rogers was that opinion leaders
needed access to mass media and had to be accessible. Think about those opinion
leaders with mass followers on YouTube and Twitter they meet these conditions.
KEY TERMS OPINION FORMERS AND
OPINION LEADERS
Opinion formers are formal experts. They work in this area, may be qualified or professionally
trained and have significant specialist knowledge about the subject.
Opinion leaders are informal experts who carry out research and whose knowledge is
valued amongst family, friends and followers.
As Lazarsfeld, Berelson, Gaudet, Katz and Rogers observed, the opinion leaders, or
influencers, are key to spreading the word about new products and services. These
influencers are generating an income from their online following and, according to
Forbes.com (OConnor, 2017), a paid-for social media post can be very lucrative, with
fees of $25,000 paid to a top yoga teacher (e.g. Rachel Brathen) for their endorsement
or $3000 to $5000 paid to a recognised fitness instructor.
The fees can be higher for specific social media platforms where they have greater
numbers of followers and fans, for example:
$300,000 for a YouTuber with 7 million subscribers or more
$200,000 for Facebook
$150,000 for Instagram
In our digital age, as celebrities charge more and more to promote brands, brands
are turning to alternatives. We have seen the development of a new type of opinion
leader, the micro-influencer. Forbes.com suggested that an Instagram user with
100,000 followers can command $5,000 for a post made in partnership with a com-
pany or brand (OConnor, 2017, p. 1).
KEY TERM MICRO-INFLUENCERS
Carol Scott, whilst director of marketing at a specialist influencer company, described micro-
influencers as everyday individuals with small, dedicated followings online (Scott, 2016, p. 1).
Writing in Adweek, Emma Bazilian provided a profile of a female millennial micro-
influencer: typically aged between 18 and 34 with 2000 to 25,000 Instagram followers,
attracting an engagement rate of 3% and higher. Their key topics were fashion,

beauty, travel or fitness (Bazilian, 2017). Bazilian added that the brand marketers
could employ these micro-influencers to promote and increase product and brand
awareness and specifically to:
Seed products
Promote sample products
Share unbox videos
Create how to videos
Develop day in the life of

Case Example 1.1 Eltoria Influencer
Marketing
Eltoria is the alter ego of Simone Partner and, as an influencer, Simone is not an IT girl or someone
who has a famous dad. She had a very different starting point and is a law graduate from the Uni-
versity of Reading, where she gained a 2:1 degree.
In the last year of studying law, Simones course included one non-law module and she opted for
entrepreneurship and for her assessment started the Eltoria UK fashion and lifestyle blog based on
her interests. At the time she was working at the organic skincare firm Lush. She enjoyed the module,
which was evidenced in her results a first-class grade. After university she pursued a career in law
and her first job was in a big commercial firm, which she didnt enjoy, so she tried a smaller legal firm.
However, in both firms she discovered that law was not a career in which she felt she could work for

the rest of her life. Having continued with the blog and subsequently winning many awards, Simone
realised that it could be a career option. The awards allowed Simone to take some time off and focus
on the blog to see if it could work.
Today Simone has generated an impressive following on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and
Twitter. She is not the average fashion blogger: shes intelligent, her content is well written, with great
depth and analysis. Having been at university, she has had typical student jobs in retail stores and
understands the challenges faced by those who are working and studying. This may be one of the
reasons that sh
