Vine was introduced in June 2012 as a new way to tell video stories. The six-second videos quickly resonated with a new, younger and mobile-first generation.
Since then, Vine has grown to 40 Million users, watching Vines loop more than 1.5 Billion times daily ranging from music and comedy to sports, stop motion art and anything else you could imagine in between.
The growth of social influencers, and their youthful audience has also helped fuel Vine’s continued development. In Mary Meeker’s recent Internet Trends report, 30% of Youth aged 12-24 reported using Vine.
The quick sharing and bite-sized videos are still hilarious, and the top Viners who kicked off the platform with such life are being replaced by a new wave of Viners vying to be the next star.
With that in mind, Delmondo has collaborated with Leadtail to take a close look at Vine Influencers who are leveraging this amazing platform to create brilliant content.

11. Three Tips for Tapping Into the Power Vine Stars
1. Use multiple
influencers to tell your
stories to multiple
audiences
There has been a rise of
collaboration between top Viners
for great content.
With multiple supporting actors,
each Viner takes turns starring
in each other’s videos to tell
stories which they then Revine
across multiple audiences.
Instead of working with just one
influencer, try working with
multiple to create a network
effect and dominate the feeds of
likeminded Vine accounts during
your campaign.
2. Use Vine Stars to
create better branded
content for Twitter Ads
Most Vine users also have a
Twitter account, making tapping
into this network of creators for
Twitter Ads a perfect way to pair
interesting content and targeted
audiences.
Every brand out there is looking
for new and interesting ways to
target users on Twitter. Why not
tap into an influencer’s network
of fans and collaborators to
create content for your next
Twitter ad instead of repurposing
the same TV spot?
3. Take them off Vine
People consume different
messages in different ways.
Instead of trying to tap into their
primary audience on Vine again
and again (often competing with
other brands), look to an
influencer’s other platforms to
build campaigns around.
Many have created a persona
far beyond just Vine, and using
channels like YouTube,
Instagram, Facebook Video,
Twitter, Snapchat and now even
on streaming platforms like
Periscope and Meerkat.
