There is no denying that over recent years, social media has taken off massively. Gone are the days when celebrities were people on the TV, now there is a generation of people that are influenced by people who build up followings on social media. You may think that in order to be famous on social media you need to be from Hollywood or a big flashy star from London but actually, there are so many Liverpool influencers doing the city proud. While it may seem as though it’s just people sharing what they enjoy doing, it’s clearly become a big business for both the brands and the influencers themselves.

Let’s take a look at a handful of the ones you can look out for in Liverpool:

Lucy Jane Wood – Lucy is a lifestyle YouTuber and Blogger from Wirral. As well as being a freelance writer she has amassed nearly 57,000 followers on Instagram alone!
