Stackla: Why Organic Influencers are the Future of Influencer Marketing
Via stackla.com
Today’s social influencers are closer to reality TV stars than they are to your average consumer.
While they might have tens of thousands, even millions, of followers that can provide the attention factor brands seek, it turns out influencers aren’t as influential as you’d think. As the industry has been plagued by fakes, frauds and high-profile scandals, many consumers and companies alike have grown to distrust and disengage from traditional influencers.
