Redefining the Future of Digital Marketing With Virtual Influencers

By blending artificial intelligence (AI), computer-generated imagery (CGI), and human-like personas, virtual influencers offer brands a unique opportunity to engage audiences in new and powerful ways. While traditional influencers bring human authenticity, virtual influencers offer unmatched control and consistency, creating a new paradigm in influencer marketing. However, they also present challenges in building emotional connections and maintaining authenticity. By striking the right balance between digital storytelling, audience engagement, and technological innovation, virtual influencers may effectively influence the market, transforming traditional marketing practices.

It examines the development, rise, and effectiveness of VIs, backed by real-world case studies. Covering topics such as parasocial interactions, brand strategies, and tourism, this book is an excellent resource for marketing professionals, business leaders and consultants, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
