The role of the influencer, today’s equivalent of the celebrity endorser, is to persuade people to purchase something regardless of its intrinsic value. In “influencer marketing,” businesses pay well-known social media personalities and content creators to publish positive reviews of their goods or services, or, at the low end, they give them free products. Interestingly, these influencers are commandeering an increasing percentage of marketing budgets, with some even bagging branded collaborations with these companies. Regarding content creators, the creator economy is estimated to be worth more than $100 billion, and more than 50 million people worldwide consider themselves creators. Nonetheless, this is still a budding area in terms of investment as the vast majority of creators are primarily amateurs.
