Title: Latest News from the World of Social Influencers: April 2024 Update
As we enter the second quarter of 2024, the world of social influencers continues to evolve and adapt to new trends and technologies. Here are some of the latest updates from the industry that you should know about.
**AI's Growing Impact on Influencer Marketing**
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in the world of influencer marketing. According to a recent survey by SocialPubli, 76% of marketing agencies and 52% of influencers are already using AI tools to analyze data, find influencer partners, or support content creation. Furthermore, brands are also working with virtual influencers as an alternative to traditional creators. Social platforms like YouTube and TikTok are also recognizing the impact AI is having on the creator industry by rolling out new features that allow creators to label content supported or generated by AI.
**TikTok Expands Its Reach**
TikTok continues to expand its reach, with older generations increasingly joining the platform. According to a report by Forbes, affluent Gen Xers are becoming more engaged on TikTok, but only 5% of advertising resources are focused on marketing to this demographic, creating an opportunity for advertisers and influencers to expand their outreach. Additionally, "granfluencers," retirees who are gaining social media followings, are also gaining a foothold on TikTok and Instagram and developing partnerships with companies like Carnival Cruise Lines.
**From Generalists to Specialists**
As the social media content arena becomes more saturated, influencers are niching down and focusing on specific areas within their industries. This trend is evident in the beauty industry, where influencers like Eilidh Moffat are focusing on skin care for the over-40 crowd and seeing significant growth in their following. Embracing AI tools for efficiency and ROI measurement will define successful marketing programs. Tailoring content on TikTok to cater to a diverse audience, including older demographics, presents untapped market potential. Specialization makes strategic sense for brands and influencers navigating the saturated social media space.
**Growth of Social Commerce**
Some social platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, have historically been better suited for awareness efforts. However, with the growth of social commerce, these platforms are becoming increasingly important for conversions. According to a report by IZEA, social commerce sales are expected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2025, with influencer marketing playing a significant role in driving those sales. Brands should consider partnering with influencers who have niche followings and can provide a tight focus on specific products or services.
**Top Social Media Influencers**
Finally, here are some of the top social media influencers across various platforms and industries. Cristiano Ronaldo leads the list with 733 million followers, followed by Leo Messi, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. These influencers generate millions of dollars in revenue through brand collaborations and endorsements, making them valuable partners for brands seeking to reach a wider audience in a more authentic way.
In conclusion, the world of social influencers is constantly evolving, with new trends and technologies emerging all the time. By staying up-to-date on these trends and partnering with the right influencers, brands can effectively reach their target audiences and drive conversions.
