Description:


A critical history of the social media influencer’s rise to global prominence

Before there were Instagram likes, Twitter hashtags, or TikTok trends, there were bloggers who seemed to have the passion and authenticity that traditional media lacked. The Influencer Industry tells the story of how early digital creators scrambling for work amid the Great Recession gave rise to the multibillion-dollar industry that has fundamentally reshaped culture, the flow of information, and the way we relate to ourselves and each other.

Drawing on dozens of in-depth interviews with leading social media influencers, brand executives, marketers, talent managers, trend forecasters, and others, Emily Hund shows how early industry participants focused on creating and monetizing digital personal brands as a means of exerting control over their professional destinies in a time of acute economic uncertainty. Over time, their activities coalesced into an industry whose impact has reached far beyond the dreams of its progenitors—and beyond their control. Hund illustrates how the methods they developed for creating, monetizing, and marketing social media content have permeated our lives and untangles the unforeseen cultural and economic costs.

The Influencer Industry reveals how, in an increasingly fractured and profit-driven communications environment, the people we think of as 'real' are merely those who have learned to exploit the industry’s ever-shifting constructions of authenticity.

My New Favorite Book
Format: Paperback
I thought I was pretty good on identity, but this book took it to a whole new level. The #1 book I would recommend to anyone wanting to change their life, step more into who they are, grow closer to God, really basically to anyone. It is going to be my book club’s next read. I will say, it looks like it would be a quick read, but don’t read it quick. You’ll miss so much. Savor it.

From the field to the palace
Format: Paperback
Very good read. I recommend it. David was GOD'S KING. He wanted to build GOD a temple, but couldn't. It took another king to build David a palace, because he probably would have built himself a shack. That's where he came from. A good read
