Micro VS Macro

BECAUSE MICRO-INFLUENCERS CHARGE LESS, THEY SEEM TO BE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE

Some marketers assume that low-reach (micro) influencers, who have yet to achieve celebrity status, have

higher engagement rates because they are more accessible and authentic.

​

High-reach (macro) influencers, help spread brand awareness to the largest number of consumers, while lending their celebrity cachet to the brands they choose to promote.

However, these macro influencers may cost more to work with, and due to their relative celebrity probably have lower engagement rates than micro influencers.

Micro / Macro Influencer?

DEFINITIONS OF MICRO AND MACRO INFLUENCERS VARY WIEDLY

Some brands define micro influencers as virtually anyone on social media who is not a celebrity.

Others define micro influencers as anyone with fewer than 1,000 total followers.

​

But most marketers have converged around the idea that a micro influencer

has a total reach between 2.500 and 50,000 followers. That’s still a pretty big range!
