A valuable introduction to the influencer marketing ecosystem and the influencer marketing relationships framework, Celebrity 2.0 shows how content marketing, native advertising, and influencer marketing can effectively come together. Chapter 1 explores how marketing has shifted over time, moving from traditional advertising to digital advertising. Reasons for this shift are discussed, including the need to move from "push" to "pull" strategies, the explosion of social media platforms, and the fact that people trust people more than they do organizations. The influencer marketing relationship framework is introduced, which shows how content marketing, native advertising, and influencer marketing can converge and create changes in consumer behavior. Content marketing focuses on the creation and distribution of content in order to gain and retain a specific audience; native advertising is another way of distributing content, mainly purchasing ad space; influencer marketing uses social media influencers as brand advocates-influencers who fit the target audience will probably be the most effective. Carefully integrating these three types of marketing can yield impressive results.

The Creator Economy is the growing group of businesses centered around independent content creators, including social media influencers, bloggers, and podcasters; this ultimately gives creators more power and audiences more choice. Several trends that led to the Creator Economy are outlined. In terms of monetization for creators, an audience needs to be built first, and it needs to be understood that not all audience members are the same in their willingness to spend money. Examples of successful influencers are given, and different types of creators, such as YouTube creators and web content creators, are described. One of the primary strengths of creators is their connections with everyday audiences.

Celebrity endorsement and marketing has a long history, while influencer marketing is new, which means there are many different definitions of influencer marketing. Several example definitions are given as well as important considerations concerning influencer marketing. Social media influencers are sometimes called micro-celebrities; seen as regular people, they have some level of influence over their audience. Based on their number of followers and if they have influence beyond social media, influencers are grouped into micro-influencers and macro-influencers. More specific tiers can also be used, such as nano-influencers and mega influencers. Using employees as influencers is explored as well as how marketing managers can choose the best influencer for their goals.

Chapter 4 dives further into influencer marketing, exploring theories about how it may work. One theory is source credibility; if a celebrity has source credibility, they can effectively endorse a product. Source credibility is made up of trust (how well the consumer accepts the endorser's message), expertise (the degree to which the consumer views the endorser as knowledgeable), and attractiveness (if the consumer sees the endorser as physically attractive). Attractiveness can also be impacted by likability and whether or not the endorser is viewed as relatable. The matchup hypothesis describes how congruence is necessary between a social media influencer and a brand in order to have a positive impact; the meaning transfer model claims that endorsers bring pop culture to the endorser-brand relationship. A description of how Generation Z views influencers is provided, and the necessity of building the influencer's relationship with the audience is discussed.
