Influencer marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach new audiences, but finding the right influencers, qualifying them, and reaching out at scale can be a challenge. This Claybook will walk you through a streamlined process using Clay, MoDash, and Twain to automate influencer discovery, enrichment, and outreach, saving you hours of manual work.

What is MoDash?

MoDash.io is a powerful influencer discovery and analytics platform that helps brands and marketers find the right influencers across YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. With advanced filtering options such as audience demographics, engagement metrics, and credibility scores, MoDash makes it easy to identify influencers who align with your brand’s goals. It also provides enriched influencer data, including contact details and audience insights. 

What you can do with this Claybook: 

  • Find influencers that match your criteria (e.g., platform, audience size, interests)
  • Enrich influencer data with contact details and audience insights
  • Filter and qualify influencers based on engagement and authenticity
  • Automate outbound email sequences using Twain’s AI-powered messaging

By the end, you’ll have a fully automated workflow to find, qualify, and contact influencers so you can focus on building relationships instead of manually researching profiles.

Step 4: Adjust influencer qualification criteria 

Drawing from our enriched data, this table qualifies influencers for outbound email campaigns based on audience age group, influencer audience interests, and real audience weight (percentage of audience who are not bots).

Step 5: Customize outbound messaging AI prompt

Using Clay’s native integration with Twain, an AI outbound messaging tool that specializes in outbound sequences, this Claybook uses the influencers most recent posts (along with some other enriched data) to write a two-email outbound sequence with unique messaging for every influencer.
