COMMUNICATION, DIGITAL MARKETING AND HEALTH The Image of the Influencer with a Social-Health Purpose.

The increasing use of digital formats in the Spanish advertising landscape has brought about a significant change in marketing practices, leading to a growing demand for influencers as key components of brand strategies. The objectives are twofold: firstly, to highlight the importance of these influencer profiles and, secondly, to identify their impact on the operational framework of agencies, from marketing plans to strategic planning, creativity and media, thus assuming a key structural role. The methodology used combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches, including in-depth interviews, a survey and the Delphi method. The findings underline the paramount importance of these social profiles for society, end-users and communication and marketing agencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
