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
