micro-influencer

Small-scale online endorser

A micro-influencer is a social media personality with a modest but engaged following—typically between a few thousand and a hundred thousand followers.

Brands often partner with micro-influencers because their audiences, though smaller than celebrity influencers, tend to be more loyal and responsive: We hired three micro-influencers to promote the skincare line.
