Like in one of those ’80s horror movies, the blue tick has taken a prominent position that’s disproportionate to its actual merit. This has turned bold social media account holders into needy, insecure individuals unsure of their jobs. While this official badge offered many bloggers recognition and a platform to be Instagram idol gods and Twitter moguls, Mark Zuckerberg’s augmented reality took on the panel of being independent judges of the relevance of each influencer.
This changed the scenario for blue-tick bloggers who cited higher fees for collaborations and promotions. There was an era of leaders in the mid-millennium, who were chosen for the high-ranking blue badge for influencer marketing. They received special fees and funds. They were perceived to have more organic following, which was an assurance of more revenue from promoting the products and their core values. Bloggers celebrated the moment as a life event by being part of the blue tick bandwagon. Marketing with them was like weaving a success story through their immediate community of worshipers. Their exclusive virtual identities ensured maximum visibility. They demand a lot more money than the usual influencers on social media, and that only seems legitimate in the world of a certain metaverse dominating that power of influence.

In December 2021, Yasmin Sewell introduced Rae, a new virtual team member for her UK-based wellness brand, Vyrao. To jump on the virtual influencer marketing bandwagon, Dudley Neville-Spencer quit his job as a debt trader to start the virtual influencer agency in 2017, but was turned down by many luxury brands. Recently, Prada relaunched its fragrance as Prada Candy Fragrance. A new avatar dressed head to toe in Prada and the Candy avatar was relaunched with a new beauty license courtesy of L’Oréal. Last October, Candy appeared in a wide range of advertising formats, including an old-fashioned print campaign photographed by Valentin Herfray. Although avatars have been criticized for their inauthentic imperfections, it seems that influencer marketing consists of offering hybrid versions with unique metaverse offers, to attract all potential buyers’ attention.
Whether influencers wearing a digital version of clothing are in the spotlight or the market space is filling up with all things blogging, the coming year is sure to bring more diversity to influencer marketing. With the rise of virtual variants, it is finally about revenue-generating businesses with high profits.
