In an article published on August 29, 2018, I learned that influencer marketing is growing, specifically micro-influencing.  Micro-influencers can help companies reach a small target market without spending a fortune. Micro-influencers are everyday people who have gained a growing number of followers on their social accounts simply by following their interests and posting at a regular frequency. They tend to have 5000 to 50,000 followers, which is small compared to the millions of followers a celebrity may have.  For example, Google wanted to promote their new Pixelbook last year so it teamed up with The Sorry Girls, an influential duo interested in DIY crafts. The post seemed more authentic than a typical promotional campaign and the engagement led to increased sales.
