The influential are no longer only those with celebrity status – but until now there has been no authoritative resource on the theory and practice of influencer marketing. This book will educate and inspire decision makers, researchers, students, and influencers themselves. Diving deeper than the many "how-to" books on the influencer phenomenon, this book brings in frameworks from marketing, sociology, psychology, and communication studies to redefine the influencer as a persona (related to a person, group of people, or organization) that possesses greater than average sway over others. Cornwell and Katz go on to:introduce the influencers, macro and nano, authentic and inauthentic, ascending and fadingconsider their relationship to brands in the marketing ecosystem, along with regulations that set limits on influencer marketingdescribe how influence is measured and evaluated and look into the future; andbring together the latest research on influencer marketing and organize it for the readerThe book serves both those who want to understand the science behind influencer marketing and those who want to most effectively employ influencers in brand strategy. Instructors, students, and professionals will appreciate international examples from multiple industries applying theories to the real world.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

The idea for the following pages is my mother's. She said, "Let's write a book together, each writing about projects, events and time periods we've shared, but we won't look at each other's words until our own are written." Even after her death I've kept my promise. I only looked at each of her tales once I had written my own experience of the same. These are our stories.
