Influencer marketing - promotion through bloggers. In Russia 2026, the main platforms are Telegram and VK, payment is increasingly based on results, not per post.

Influencer marketing - promotion through bloggers and opinion leaders. You are not paying for impressions, but for the trust that the influencer has already built with his audience, and for the recommendation in his voice.

In Russia 2026 the main platforms are Telegram and VK. The market has matured noticeably: increasingly, payments are made not for the “fact of a post”, but for the result - transitions, registrations, sales using a promotional code. This is a healthy shift: posting “to reach” without tracking action has too often been a budget drain.

The main thing in influencer marketing is not the size of the blogger, but the match of the audience. A microblogger with 5–20 thousand subscribers in a narrow topic usually gives a better CPA than a millionaire: the audience is denser and trust is higher. Analysis of the market and formats - in separate article.
