Top 5 Influencers brands should consider to follow

I bet you are wondering why I’m bombing you with a post on a Saturday night. Truth is I never had a specific day for blogging. I was thinking, why waste precious time doing nothing relevant when blogging feels so much better?  

Have you ever tried to market your campaign, product or promoting your brand and never had anyone in mind to use as a 3rd party mediator? Oh!  Well, I have some great influencers also known as opinion leaders whom you can use to post relevant information that your audience need to know and believe.

  3. It's always best to have an influencer behind your brand, it helps the brand resonate with your key publics especially when you are breaking into a new market. These influencers bring with them consumers and they make the brand more appealing. People aspire to be like them and using the same products as them is a step closer to emulating these trend setters. But we all know Simphiwe Tshabalala doesn't use shield nor does he eat fish and chips.

  14. They may be the top influencers in South Africa but I don't think that they have it easy. Some people think that they are the media Gods forgetting that they are also just only humans who are trying to make a name for themselves, they also do make mistakes.
