Influencer marketing is the practice of working with influencers to promote your brand’s message, products or services. And influencers are just people who have an active and ideally sizeable audience who they’re actually able to influence. Usually, influencer marketing happens mostly on social media like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and so on. Influencer marketing works because you’re borrowing trust from a person who already has influence over your target audience. Influencer marketing isn’t limited to brands with big budgets.
