Healey Lincoln will launch its influencer marketing campaign on Aug. 1, by handing over the keys to five different Lincoln models to five local high-profile residents. The influencers have agreed to drive the cars — with no strings attached — with the only requirements to post their honest experiences on their personal social media platforms.

Influencer marketing, new to the automotive and other industries, allows a company to reach new audiences through an individual’s use of social media. In this instance, a person’s followers will see what he or she thinks about the cars he or she is driving via written posts or posted videos.
Participants are not being paid for their participation. Lincoln Healey is providing the vehicles at no cost, including insurance. Participants only need to cover gas costs.
