Amasa (Advertising Media Association of South Africa) will be hosting a panel of thought leaders and industry members for a much-talked-about topic of influencer marketing.

The media and marketing ecosystem continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace. Influencer marketing has also changed in the way it looks and operates. According to Adweek, the influencer marketing industry is set to reach $10 billion in 2020. Influencer networks cover a wide variety of platforms and each has a different demographics and role.

Is the South African communications industry geared up to fully leverage this touchpoint?
