No less than 86% of people ages 13 to 38 are willing to try out influencing, according to a survey from Morning Consult. But only 12% currently consider themselves to be influencers. Add in that advertisers are desperate to find ways to connect with a cohort that spends less time watching television and more time on social-media feeds, where there is plenty of room for growth.
