Abstract

In an era where consumers are inundated with advertisements from all corners, influencers have become a beacon of trust thanks to their authenticity and relatability. This trust can shape consumer behaviour, fuel engagement and, ultimately, drive purchasing decisions that positively impact the entirety of the marketing funnel. This paper discusses the current state of influencer marketing, with a particular focus on the role of trust. Drawing on extensive research conducted by IZEA, it explores how influencers are reaching an impressive 83 per cent of adults ages 18 to 60 years, why consumers find influencer content more compelling than traditional manufactured advertising and how trust in influencers is reshaping integrated marketing strategies.
