Abstract: Over the last years, influencer marketing has become one of the most important tools for companies and brands to increase awareness, sales, or strengthen their image. Influencers, whether associated or not to brands, have the power to influence consumer behaviour. But how does this influence happen? And are all customers influenced in the same way? This research aims to answer these questions and clarify the relationship between influencer marketing and consumer behaviour. Specifically, we study the impact that intention to engage, propensity to trust and perceived value has on willingness to buy regarding influencers' posted content. The findings also reveal that for people with higher self-confidence the impact of perceived value of an influencer's posted content and willingness to buy is higher. The study provides managerial insights that may be beneficial for marketing practitioners to adjust their influencer marketing strategy.
