In Proceedings of the Regional European Marketing Academy Conference, 11th (pp. 1-2). European Marketing Academy (EMAC). http://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/R2020-84332.pdfAlthough influencer marketing has grown significantly in recent years for products and brands, little is known about how the association between influencers and social causes would work. The present study aims to understand how the association of influencers with social causes (influencer-cause fit) shapes followers’ attitudes and perceived authenticity. An experimental study with social media consumers shows the importance of authentic social content shared by the influencers, and the association to consistent social causes to improve followers’ attitudes. The findings present important theoretical and practical implications for influencer marketing and social causes.2156180engFood wasteAestheticsConstrual levelSDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Productionconference objecthttp://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/R2020-84332.pdf
