In today’s digital-first world, social media has become the key arena for communication, influence, and brand building. With billions of internet users globally, the rise of new platforms and the proliferation of key opinion leaders (KOLs) are not only redefining how businesses/individuals and individuals interact, but also shaping messages and conversations in the desired direction, changing public opinions and consumer behaviors.
