Is influencer marketing still worth it today as a marketing strategy?

[Min George]

With the recent allegations that influencers advertise products that they don't personally use, it seems so many people have lost faith in influencer marketing and won't buy products endorsed by influencers. Do you think that influencer marketing is still viable to sell products?

Using influencers for marketing is still a very effective strategy that most brands still use today, especially if the influencer is well known.

Influencer marketing is still widely used here. Other than skin care and health products, even banks such as HSBC uses a celebrity in their advertisement.

The industry is expected to continue growing, with consumers influenced by authentic, value-driven content.

Big brands still use celebrities to advertise. It seems to be the easiest way to build trust for those big brands. It is micro influencers that are lacking credibility.

Yes, it is worth it. You just have to adopt the right strategies to get things perfectly done

Of course yes it's still very worthwhile. That is because most people still believe in influencers endorsed products

I think it’s less about influencer marketing being dead and more about how it’s done. Audiences are smart now; they can tell when someone is just reading a script. The future lies with relatable influencers who show honest use of a product in their daily lives.

Product influencers here in my counter are still significant for a business to gain customers. Influencers are skilled and their tactics are appealing and overwhelming.
