Latest influencer marketing news and updates

If not, it’s time for a hot news reveal—straight from the world of influencer marketing. May 2025 has already delivered some big updates, and Sociopuff is here to spill the tea.

  1. Amazon Launches the ‘Elevate’ Program for Influencer Growth in India

    Yes, you read that right—Amazon has officially launched its ‘Elevate’ Program aimed at supercharging the growth of Indian influencers.

    What’s in it for creators?

    • Premium tools
    • Tailored support
    • Fresh earning opportunities

    Designed to help Indian content creators grow not just as influencers—but as smart, scalable brands.

    Why is the ‘Elevate’ Program a Big Deal in 2025?

    Influencer marketing is dominating the global scene—and India is right in the spotlight. With 2025 shaping up to be a year of performance-driven content, platforms are levelling up their infrastructure to support creators seriously.

    Whether you’re into fashion, skincare, tech reviews, gaming, or makeup tutorials, it’s no longer just about going viral -- It’s about growing with purpose, strategy, and real results.

    Stay tuned—because this is just the beginning of the creator economy’s next big wave.

  2. Music Labels vs Influencers: Time for Creators to Level Up Their Legal Literacy

    Why now? Music labels are cracking down on the unlicensed use of copyrighted tracks across Instagram and other social platforms.

    What’s the issue?

    When influencers post sponsored content on social media, they often use popular chartbusters to boost virality—without securing proper licenses. This practice is now under fire and could come with a serious price tag:

    • Content takedowns
    • Legal notices
    • Hefty fines

    To avoid this, influencers need to level up their legal literacy and start building a future-proof content strategy that respects copyright laws and protects their brand.

  3. ASCI’s New Guidelines for Health and Finance Influencers

    The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) has updated its influencer guidelines for 2025, with a special focus on the health and finance sectors.

    What’s the new rule?

    Influencers now only need formal qualifications when offering technical or expert advice—think financial planning tips or medical guidance. But for general brand promotions, formal credentials are no longer mandatory.

    This is huge news for influencers already working in the health and finance space—and for those dreaming of stepping into these growing sectors in India.

  4. Only 8–10% of Indian Influencers Earn from Content—Can You Believe That?

    If that headline surprised you, it’s time to take a closer look at what’s really happening in India’s influencer world—even in 2025.

    India is booming in the influencer marketing space. Brands are actively promoting their products on social media through influencers. But here’s the catch—only 8–10% of Indian influencers are actually earning from their content.

    According to a report, over 2 million influencers in India are driving trends and shaping consumer shopping behavior. Yet, a recent study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that just a small fraction—8 to 10%—are generating real income through content creation.

    It’s time for influencers to build the right strategy when it comes to brand sponsorships and collaborations.

    Sociopuff, a leading influencer marketing agency in Delhi, has worked with top Indian brands like Mamaearth, mCaffeine, Dr Sheth’s, Hyphen, BBlunt, Beardo, The Man Company, and many more.

  5. Influencer Burnout: Time to Speak Up About Mental Health

    Everyone fantasizes about the influencer marketing world—PR packages, award shows, dream brand collabs, and reviewing exciting products.

    But no one talks about the dark side of the creator economy.

    Enter: CreatorCare

    A telehealth initiative designed specifically for influencers, offering sliding-scale therapy sessions and creating a safe space to address mental health challenges.

    It’s 2025, and it's time to finally wake up and prioritize mental wellness in the influencer space.

  6. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan’s Vision for the Creator Future

    The last news is always the biggest—and this one’s mic-dropping.

    At the WAVES 2025 Summit in Mumbai, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan revealed that over 100 million channels in India uploaded content in the past year, with more than 15,000 channels surpassing 1 million subscribers.

    He also shared that YouTube has paid over ₹21,000 crore to Indian creators, artists, and media companies in just the last three years.
