Abstract

Over the past few years, the increasing popularity of social media influencers has made influencer marketing a prominent and prevalent strategy for businesses. Its unique aspects, innovative approaches, and significant commercial value have attracted an increasing body of research. The literature has collectively accumulated a sizable and dispersive list of factors that affect followers’ attitude and intention towards influencers’ recommended products/brands. This paper provides an integrative and cohesive framework, based on Berlo’s SMCR model of communication, to consolidate these factors in a structured manner and provide a comprehensive view on the effect mechanism of influencer marketing. Under this framework, it reviews key factors studied and the major conclusions drawn. Additionally, the paper delineates several important yet understudied areas for future search.
