The concept of Influencers is not “new” in the world of Marketing. PR & Marketing professionals have worked with influencers forever…We used to call them “the Press” or “the Media”.

The Challenge:  Given the shifts in volume, and sheer noise in the market, how do we discover and engage with the key voices that matter (aka: the influencers), and not spam the voices which really don’t?

Page 9: Who is @CowGirlLucy48 and should I pay attention to her? · @metalundergroun 2,200 followers Aka Doug Gibson, Owner, MetalUnderground.com @CowGirlLucy48 2,500 followers aka Former

It’s a lot harder to figure out who is really influencing your market, and separate these voices from all the noise that makes up today’s market.
