Whether you work in fashion, beauty, travel or lifestyle PR, securing the right influencer can thrill a client just as much as a front-page feature — and having a few go-to bloggers in your back pocket can mean the difference between hours of research and a quick email. We put together the 40 Influencers You Need to Know in 2018 to make that part of the job a little easier. Every blogger is personally selected by our Shopping Links team based on their content quality and ability to produce results. Click the images in the sections below to see each blogger’s full profile with examples of their past content, social media metrics, domain authority and Google Analytics.
We hope these metrics take the guesswork out of which bloggers are likely to produce for your clients so you can celebrate by sneaking in a little time on Instagram for yourself!
