nano-influencer

Small-scale social promoter

A nano-influencer is a social media user with a small but engaged following—typically between 1,000 and 10,000 followers—who promotes products or ideas within a niche community.

Brands work with nano-influencers because their audiences, though modest in size, tend to trust their recommendations more than those of celebrities or larger influencers: We partnered with nano-influencers in the camping space to reach serious hikers.
