They should demonstrate expertise, leadership, innovation, and creativity, and champion influencer marketing.This year, we are also highlighting the

rising stars

various regions across the world

What last year’s shortlisted say

“It was wonderful being featured on the Influencer 50 list last year and since then we have been working on multiple new avenues at Hachi Digital. We’ve carved a targeted niche in the industry and made a lot of great connections at Talking Influence. Based on the list of industry players we were nominated in, we actually created a really fantastic event Bad Influence. This has enabled us to keep up to date with the current industry trends, keep ahead of the curve and build our content strategy out for Europe,” said Kaya Cheshire, founder of Hachi Digital.“It’s my privilege to be on the Influencer 50 list. I feel that this recognition was not made to me as a man but to all HypeAuditor team. We aim to make influencer marketing transparent, fair, and effective and this listing confirms that we are on the right track and industry professionals recognise the importance of our efforts,” said Alexander Frolov, founder of HypeAuditor. “Being named as one of the Influencer 50 in 2018, in a list that includes incredibly talented global entrepreneurs was a huge honour and meant a lot to me. We’ve all worked incredibly hard to earn respect for an industry we are passionate about; it’s something that feels truly earned. It’s going to be really exciting to see the 2019 list! I can’t wait to see the talent shaping our industry’s new media,” said Ana Thorsdottir, head of influencer strategy UK and WW at MediaCom. “Having always been the entrepreneurial type, I’ve worked hard over the past few years towards my passion for growing and uniting the influencer marketing space. Being included in the Influencer 50 and knowing that my industry peers have nominated me and have faith in my expertise and leadership gives me the confidence to continue to strive for great things within the industry,” commented Ben Jeffries, CEO and co-founder at Influencer.
