In part two of our series on fashion influencers, we’re bringing you our go-to names and accounts that fit into the “macro” category. Hitting the sweet spot between audience and engagement, macro-influencers are those that sit between the mega and micro ends of the spectrum. With a follower count between 100, 000 and 300, 000, the macro-influencer has less followers than their mega fellows (see our hit list of mega influencers here), but a higher level of engagement because of it. While micro-influencers offer the highest levels of audience engagement, the macro set remain a popular choice for brands looking for creative direction and artistic collaborations, where sponsored posts fit seamlessly into the influencer’s aesthetic. Our featured list of fashion macro-influencers all have extensive portfolios and unique style, with each charging an average of $1, 000 – $5, 000* for paid postings. What are you waiting for? Get scrolling!
