Abstract

Influencer marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy in today’s digital world, where social media stars can influence how people think about products. However, the rapid growth of influencers and social media users presents novel challenges for brands in identifying suitable influencers for their marketing goals. Traditional approaches that rely on popularity and follower count are no longer the primary metrics for determining an influencer’s ability to affect consumer behavior. To address this gap, this study proposed an influencer classification to enhance audience targeting and marketing effectiveness. By utilizing deep learning, specifically fine tuned bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), influencer classification was carried out for Instagram users in Indonesia based on their post captions. The multilingual BERT model is optimized through hyperparameter tuning, including learning rate, batch size, and stop word removal variation. With an outstanding 80% accuracy, the model performs best in situations where stop words are not removed. This study on influencer classification using a fine-tuned BERT model has demonstrated the effectiveness of BERT in enhancing influencer selection. It contributes to the digital marketing domain by showcasing the potential of deep learning for social media analysis and content classification, paving the way for future data-driven marketing strategies.
