Influencer marketing continues to evolve in unexpected ways, including the rise of social media pet stars shaping brand engagement and digital economies.

Dr Sevil Yesiloglu, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at Queen Mary University of London, recently shared her expertise on ITV Tonight, contributing to a feature exploring how pet influencers are generating income and reshaping marketing practices.

Drawing on her research, Dr Yesiloglu highlights how value is created across a complex ecosystem of creators, brands, platforms and audiences and why authenticity, relatability and emotional connection remain central to engagement. The programme also considers key challenges around commercialisation and transparency in this rapidly developing space.

This contribution reflects how research at Queen Mary is informing wider conversations about contemporary business and society.

Rina Ademi, a Chevening Scholar originally from Kosovo, shares her experience studying MSc Global Business and Sustainability at Queen Mary University of London.

"I have really enjoyed the guest speakers our professors have brought into the course. Hearing directly from practitioners and seeing how the concepts we learn in class play out in real organisations has been one of the highlights of the programme. It’s also been amazing to meet and connect with people who are already working in the fields we’re studying - it makes the learning feel much more practical, relevant, and inspiring."
