We asked 1,000 Millennial and Gen Z consumers...

Where do you consume influencer content? Which social platforms are you most likely to purchase products from? What makes an influencer’s product/service recommendation trustworthy? What factors play into your purchase decisions? And more…

Here's a sneak peek of the reports results.

Top 5 most used social platforms for consuming influencer content, ranked by all consumers:

1. YouTube

2. Instagram

3. Facebook

4. TikTok

5. Snapchat

Consumers also said video content was the most engaging, likely driving YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat’s success in the top five.

“In a world dominated by bite-sized content, people are starting to crave more substance. With longer content, creators have the space to tell richer stories, dive deeper into their experiences and build an emotional connection that just isn’t possible in 90 seconds. The deeper the bond and deeper the trust, the more likely people will watch a series, buy a product or stick around for whatever comes next.” — RJ Larese, VP of talent and influencer marketing, Paramount.
