Influencer Marketing Global Survey, 2019 | Rakuten Marketing

Digital Marketing | Global

Social media is connecting individuals all over the world, where the power of interaction and information sharing has shifted from companies to consumers. A social media influencer is a user who has established credibility in a specific industry, has access to a huge audience and can persuade others to act based on their recommendations. An influencer has the tools and authenticity to attract many viewers consistently and can motivate others to expand their social reach. An influencer may be anyone from a blogger to a celebrity to an online entrepreneur. They must simply capitalize on a niche to attain widespread credibility. Since Instagram’s content is easily digested as images or short videos, it encourages more peer-to-peer sharing, which helps brands improve their target audience reach and consumers to build a solid purchasing decision.
