Influencers and Marketing Perspective by Andrew Woodcock  04/11/2020 Influences have become both famous and notorious within the last decade with their direct (or indirect) presentations of products or services. When I use the word notorious, it is not meant in a way that they did anything "wrong" or "bad". I mean that some may have unethical motives to push for free products/services rather than companies seeking out these influences.

By finishing up my bachelors degree within the coming months, I hope to move forward within my current company and possible be taught how to use these services within an actual working environment.

It is with these specific applications and platforms in which I enjoy using the most. From a technical standpoint, I find the...
