Great article explaining how influencers garner free attention.

Whatever one's politics, the lesson here is so on the money for anyone marketing a brand right now. You see the same trend on both sides of the aisle. Authenticity (or perceived authenticity) and meeting people on their turf with good content FAR outstrips old school ad spend tactics

The typical ad s and same old methods don’t work these days.

Being influencer or finding right people who can influence is the new marketing game that every brand needs to play now.

Politicians , founders, writers - everyone is doing this. Influence directly using media.
