Earlier talking about the growing influence of digital marketing and influencers, in marketing communication strategies, Shubhranshu Singh – Vice President, Marketing, Commercial Vehicle Business, Tata Motors in a column published earlier in Autocar Professional that it may seem as a tool for commercialism but the growth of the “influencer-content creator” is a revolution. What began as blogging, advisory and ‘aficionado commentary’ is now a global, multibillion-dollar industry touching every aspect of our lives and society. Blogs, social media personas and their associated technologies of self-commercialisation have enabled a repertoire of tools that allows people to monetise their digital presence. It is profitable self-expression that is branded by authenticity.
“The influencer industry is a complex ecosystem, comprising influencers, intenders, technologists, marketers as brand builders and sponsors, social media corporations and many more. Together, they have negotiated the meaning, value and practical use of digital influence. A commodity has been branded with a personal signature for the social media age” Singh wrote, adding that they produce, evaluate, and market “influential” content.
