Global influencer marketing spending on IG impacted by COVID-19 Q1 2019 - Q1 2020
A recent study was conducted on Instagram influencer marketing. It revealed that in the first quarter of 2020, influencer marketing spending reached 400 million U.S. dollars. In comparison, in March of 2019, influencer marketing spending was higher by 16 million U.S. dollars. The differences were even larger when looking at February spending in both years, indicating that influencer marketing started bouncing back quite quickly after the coronavirus hit initially.
