microinfluencer

Small-scale brand ambassador

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

Brands court microinfluencers because their audiences, though smaller than celebrity influencers, tend to be more trusting and responsive: We partnered with microinfluencers in the fitness space rather than paying for one big name.
