What are influencers?

Influencers are people who have a significant presence in a specific online community and get their followers to promote a specific brand or product to a certain extent. They achieve this by providing their followers with information, content, and opinions about a company or product.

Influencers are those people who publish so-called “content” (as content as text, image, video) on a topic at high and regular intervals and thus address other people. This primarily happens on social networks such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. With their content, influencers attract a lot of attention and therefore a wide reach. If they have achieved this exclusively through their digital presence and thus influence other people (English: influence), they are referred to as influencers. In cooperation with companies, they can thus increase brand awareness through reach with product placements.
