系统梳理影响力营销的计算研究,揭示方法与短板。
Computational Studies in Influencer Marketing: A Systematic Literature Review
- 基于PRISMA框架分析69篇论文,归纳四大研究主题。
- 多数研究聚焦商业效果优化,忽视监管与伦理问题。
- 呼吁构建标准化数据集,推动跨领域合规研究。
影响力营销已成为数字营销策略的核心组成部分。尽管其发展迅速且与算法密切相关,但计算视角下的影响力营销研究仍呈碎片化状态,尤其缺乏涵盖计算方法的系统性综述,导致对影响力经济的整体科学度量极为稀缺,不利于平台以外的利益相关者(如监管机构)及其它领域研究者。本文通过基于PRISMA模型的系统文献综述,分析69项研究,梳理该领域的研究主题、方法与未来方向。识别出四大核心主题:影响者识别与特征刻画、广告策略与互动、赞助内容分析与发现、公平性。方法上分为机器学习(如分类、聚类)与非机器学习技术(如统计分析、网络分析)。关键发现显示,研究高度关注商业目标优化,而对合规性与伦理议题关注不足。研究强调需引入语言、平台、行业等情境因素,提升模型可解释性与数据可复现性。最后提出多学科研究议程,强调加强与监管科技的链接、分析粒度细化及标准化数据集建设。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Influencer marketing has become a crucial feature of digital marketing strategies. Despite its rapid growth and algorithmic relevance, the field of computational studies in influencer marketing remains fragmented, especially with limited systematic reviews covering the computational methodologies employed. This makes overarching scientific measurements in the influencer economy very scarce, to the detriment of interested stakeholders outside of platforms themselves, such as regulators, but also researchers from other fields. This paper aims to provide an overview of the state of the art of computational studies in influencer marketing by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) based on the PRISMA model. The paper analyses 69 studies to identify key research themes, methodologies, and future directions in this research field. The review identifies four major research themes: Influencer identification and characterisation, Advertising strategies and engagement, Sponsored content analysis and discovery, and Fairness. Methodologically, the studies are categorised into machine learning-based techniques (e.g., classification, clustering) and non-machine-learning-based techniques (e.g., statistical analysis, network analysis). Key findings reveal a strong focus on optimising commercial outcomes, with limited attention to regulatory compliance and ethical considerations. The review highlights the need for more nuanced computational research that incorporates contextual factors such as language, platform, and industry type, as well as improved model explainability and dataset reproducibility. The paper concludes by proposing a multidisciplinary research agenda that emphasises the need for further links to regulation and compliance technology, finer granularity in analysis, and the development of standardised datasets.
