Abstract

Ten macro and micro-influencers were used in this study. Researchers coded 285 Instagram posts according to content type. Instagram engagement rate was calculated. Macro-influencers had a higher engagement rate while micro-influencers used more hashtags. Both influencer types used entertaining content and brand information rather than relational content and field information.
