“

Having spent time this week judging submissions for the 2019 Influencer Marketing Awards, I have to say that my faith in and passion for this advertising strategy is stronger than ever before.

Some truly brilliant campaigns, thoughtfully executed by super talented agency partners, on brands which have bold and visionary managers at the wheel. Really looking forward to the event,” said Joseph Harper, UK & Ireland Social Lead at Kellogg’s.
