Why we Love influencers
In other words, consumers love influencers because they are consumers just like themselves— flawed human beings that also seek to find contentment in themselves and in their products. The whole goal of influencer marketing is to humanize your brand. Without humanizing your brand you will never be able to effectively monetize and gain consumer/brand loyalty.
