Hello, I am hoping that there may be members of our community who might be able to recommend some work on social media influencers operating on behalf of public services (e.g. municipal services like local city communications offices, tourism agencies, or even national parks). Work on influencers operating on behalf of not-for-profits could also be relevant. Recommendations could come from a critical or a strategic comm point of view. The context for this request is that I have a senior class working with a local city's communications team to develop some recommendations for a youth ambassador program. However, it has come to light that our partners may actually be more interested in an influencer-type model. While I have some solid materials regarding influencers in general, I have yet to find much that addresses influencers working on behalf of governments or public offices on a freelance basis. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
