What is Influencer Marketing?
Influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that involves endorsements and product placements from influencers. These influencers have established a reputation for having an expert level of knowledge or social influence in their field. This is often misunderstood, with some people mistakenly equating influencer marketing with celebrity marketing. There may be some overlap, but somebody purportedly being famous is not sufficient to make for effective influencer marketing. Many influencers have built huge communities to whom they promote an agreed product or activity.
