Influencers being recognized by a younger audience have become known as the new generation of influencers. There are a number of them in Costa Rica, some of whom are even living entirely off of their content creation. In many cases, recognized brands even come to them, seeking out the platform to promote their products.
Kristine Dyer has 21,000 followers on Instagram. She prides herself on being genuine about which products she likes, because she has another business that gives her a steady income so she is not convinced by money to promote a product she doesn’t love.
