INFLUENCERS
Importance of Social Media Influencers in the Industry?

“The power of social networking continues to grow — with over 5.1 billion monthly active social media users worldwide in 2025, representing more than 63% of the global population.” (Statista, 2025)
-
Consumers today increasingly seek authenticity, and influencer marketing delivers just that. Audiences trust influencers because of the personal, emotional connections they create — offering a form of endorsement that traditional advertising simply cannot replicate.
-
Influencers act as a modern word-of-mouth, guiding purchase decisions in a relatable, trusted way. A trusted recommendation from an influencer is 6x more likely to convert than a generic branded post (HubSpot, 2025).
