In this episode, Fiona unpacks the idea of the “death of the influencer” and what it really means for brands, creatives, and small businesses navigating marketing in a noisy, trust-scarce world.
Rather than chasing reach or hype, Fiona explores the shift toward people of influence, long-term relationships, and values-led visibility — and how brands can rethink influence at every stage of the customer journey.
You’ll learn:
- Why traditional influencer marketing is losing impact — and what’s replacing it
- The difference between influencers, content creators, and people of influence (and why it matters)
- How to identify the real circles of influence for your audience and build lasting trust
This episode is for anyone questioning whether influencer marketing still works — and wanting smarter, more sustainable ways to connect.
