Movers & Shakers in Consumer Tech

Over the past few years, social media and video sharing platforms have bypassed the gatekeepers of traditional media. Now anyone can create their very own channel, with the freedom to develop and share homegrown content with a global audience. This democratisation is not without its pitfalls, but authentic content used in the right way has an unmatched ability to generate interest, start conversation and affect behaviour.

The speed of change and variety of choice in technology means consumers have always relied on reviews and recommendations from those in the know. And there’s now a new breed of experts clocking hundreds of millions of views around the world.

While the debate about the merits of social influencers versus traditional media will no doubt rumble on, no well-considered PR strategy can afford to overlook the potential of this new generation of consumer tech superstars.

Here are a handful of people we think you should be watching…
