Abstract
Instagram as a social media network has produced influencers who are influential in disseminating information and messages digitally. Influencers are considered capable of impacting their followers through photo uploads and electronic word of mouth (EWoM) which they post on their social media feeds. This study was conducted qualitatively with a literature review approach and indirect interviews with influencers and their followers. The results show that the role of influencers has an impact on followers based on what they upload and what they write about on Instagram.
