What’s trending in influencer marketing

By Allie MacPherson on June 25, 2024

I read an Inc.com article headlined: “Influencer Marketing Is Out. Creator Marketing Is In.” This idea — built off of a need for deep trust between brands and creators — was one of the overarching themes surfaced during a discussion I moderated back in December 2023: “Unlocking the Potential: Influencer Marketing Today and Tomorrow.” Our expert panelists Richard Brewer-Hay, Leslie Douglas , Pierre-Loïc Assayag , Ayanna Anderson, MPS, MS and influencer Cy Nyugen all offered authentic and personal perspectives on what’s needed for successful brand-creator partnerships.

Meet the influencers modernizing the diffusion of healthcare information

Health is a key component to overall happiness and fulfillment, but healthcare costs and gaps in medical knowledge present significant barriers.

Alongside that, a 2019 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that only 48% of respondents knew what their medical doctors do.

Influencer series: Top financial services influencers to watch

By Allie MacPherson on December 27, 2023

The financial services industry is evolving faster than ever before – emerging technologies like generative A.I., DeFi (decentralized finance) and crypto pose new challenges to everything from security and privacy to heightened consumer expectations. As business and go-to-market strategies shift, it’s up to marketers and communicators to navigate educating audiences, driving awareness and ultimately fueling engagement and conversion.  

To overcome these challenges and reach audiences effectively, financial services brands can leverage influencers to help tell their story. Influencers bring trust, credibility and reach to the table in ways that brands often aren’t able to achieve on their own. More than half of Gen Z and Millennial populations alone “intentionally seek out financial advice online or through social media.” Influencers can educate and raise awareness about emerging technologies, provide social proof and engage directly on a human level with their audience. 

While there are many prominent finance influencers, the standouts offer valuable insights, unique perspectives and practical advice. Below we'll introduce you to a selection of finance influencers and highlight a few ways you can incorporate influencers into your communications strategy. Whether your brand targets young consumers or CFOs, leveraging influencers can help you reach highly targeted and niche audiences to drive business impact.
