An influencer is a person who has the power to affect the purchasing decisions of others because of their authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with their audience. This is a growing area of marketing that involves endorsements and product placements, but is more than simple celebrity endorsements. Influencers are individuals who have built a reputation for their knowledge and expertise on a particular topic. They make frequent posts about that topic on their social media channels and attract, and are followed by, a large number of people who pay close attention to their views.

Influencers are often associated with social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and blogs. Their content can range from product reviews and tutorials to lifestyle vlogs and personal opinions. Brands collaborate with influencers to promote their products or services to the influencer's engaged audience. This type of marketing leverages the trust and credibility that influencers have built with their followers. The effectiveness of influencer marketing often depends on the alignment between the influencer, their audience, and the brand's target market. There are various tiers of influencers, categorized by follower count, such as nano-influencers, micro-influencers, macro-influencers, and mega-influencers. The role of an influencer is dynamic and continues to evolve with the changing landscape of digital media and consumer behavior.
