- Influencers led industries and categories in average engagement, at 92,538.
- Influencers also dominated by followers, at 10,366,170.
Online Circle Digital lead strategist Lucio Ribeiro said in an email to SocialTimes:
With millions of Australians using the platform every day, Instagram can’t be ignored as a viable communication channel for businesses. Most of us look at the real-world micro-moments and events and think about how they would make a great image on our Instagram. We see a plate of food, a dog or a nice piece of fashion and we think, “This will be great on my Instagram.” Some businesses have understood this drive and incorporated visual occasions and moments into their communication, turning their advertising into native content, content that blends in, content that makes viewers feel something, content that transports people.
Influencers are becoming the new superstars. There’s a great opportunity for brands to select and connect with them to act as cultural megaphones.
