Social media influencers are known to endorse opinions about products and help spread viral conversation about brands online.
In recent years brands have been using so called “Influencers” – beauty bloggers, fashionistas or fashion gurus, gaming addicts and fitness gurus – as the face of their advertisements.
We now live in a world where becoming Instagram famous is actually a job and successful influencers are living proof of that.
It takes a lot of time, effort and creativity to stand out in the crowded Instagram world, but once you do it can be a super rewarding field.
These influencers are Insta goals!
Mona Chalabi
Mona describes herself as a “journalist who really loves numbers” she is a data editor for the Guardian and uses self taught illustrations methods to bring data to life.
Her Instagram illustrations cover everything in a creative yet informative way, from body hair removal to the popularity of nose jobs in the US to the number of decapitated animals found in New York parks.
As one of the media-news top social media influencers on Instagram, her tongue-in-cheek- approach have won her account immovable place in our hearts.
What does Mona really do? ” I look for the most accurate and recent numbers and then I try to share them with the public by using illustrations and animations. All that searching and creating becomes more urgent when there’s a subject like gun control or immigration where the public need to understand the numbers if they want to take action like putting pressure on the politicians that represent them”
Florence Given
This UK based artist should be on your radar.
Florence Given is a UK based artist, feminist and social activist who is using her playful illustration to spark conversations and admiration on Instagram.
Her feminist journey started at the age of fourteen and decided she didn’t want to wear a bra anymore, her classmates which were mostly girls, would stare or discuss the fact that you could see the shape of her nipples through her shirt.
Confused about their concern, she started researching and discovering the female body is heavily sexualized. She has been on a quest to empower women ever since.
