The Research on Consumer Attitudes Towards Influencers and Their Collaboration With Brands in Bulgaria

Abstract

The research aims to examine consumer attitudes towards influencers and their collaborations with brands in Bulgaria. It was conducted online during the period December 2020 – January 2021. A total of 304 respondents completed a questionnaire with 18 closed and open-ended questions. The primary objective is to determine whether there is a presence of pseudo-influence in Bulgaria, driven purely by profitability, or if there is an evolving influencer culture. Additionally, the study seeks to answer whether Bulgaria genuinely has influencers or if it follows a Western model of product and service consumption behavior.
