The changing nature of influence

@Tal9D | @Cision | #CisionWebinar

Influencer marketing involves marketing products and services to

those who have a sway over the things other people buy. This market

influence typically stems from an individual's expertise, popularity, or

reputation.

“The ‘influencer ecosystem’ in business marketing is a specialized group of people for each company,

an industry-specific and well-connected few who can reach the

purchase decision makers.”

– Molly Soat, American Marketing Association
