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.

Lost its quality after gaining popularity
Size: 1 count (Pack of 12)
I’ve been subscribed to this brand for at least 2 years now. It used to be heavy duty, now they switched to cheap thin carton like everyone else has. No point to overpay for average quality.

Junk!
Color: 3675 ALL Silver
Good luck getting the back plate back in once you change the battery! You get what you pay for so spend the extra money and buy a better watch not made in China.

Really nice watch!
Color: 3675 ALL Black
Really nice and clean looking watch. Fairly easy to adjust the watch band, with a little patience. Item description stated battery operated, but I don’t think it is as there is no indication that it has a battery in it. Other than that, really decent watch! I would have given it a five star rating if it were battery powered.

Great price
Color: 3675 Silver Grey
The watch looks like it should cost more than the actual price. It catches people's eye and so far it keeps accurate time. Keep in mind I've only had the watch about two weeks. Of my 10 every day watches this one is the most attractive.
