The contact with new celebrities Since its inception, conventional advertising has focused on hiring personalities of recognition, reputation and admiration, to serve as a "model." public admirer In fact, the word "model" and its version "top model" derives from its meanings: "it serves as a guideline to be imitated, reproduced or copied", "Person who deserves to be imitated by his good qualities", "Person who has for Exhibition on his body clothes, accessories, jewelry or beauty products before the public, mainly in the parades, pose in advertising posters, magazines, etc. "Of course, the greater the prestige of the celebrity or the person that serves as a model, the higher the sales, the higher revenues for the sponsoring companies and, of course, the higher price that celebrity must charge for promoting. Depending on the interest of each company in making its products and brands reach a certain social sector, it must properly choose the person who will serve as a model to do the advertising promotion of them; but as each type of product tends to be destined to a certain type of public, the problem arises of the sponsoring companies in choosing the profile of the people who will model such products. With the emergence of social networks and other digital means of dissemination and mass communication, advertising concepts and sales strategies have changed forever, creating new marketing possibilities. Each new celebrity in social networks generates a new universe of followers, who have in common their interest in the specific areas of human activity that occupy their celebrity: Be politicians, film or television artists, solo musicians or bands and musical groups in all genres, prominent personalities in the sciences, sports, social communication and countless areas can now become celebrities from the platform of their own social networks. Another fundamental difference with the old advertising conception of the impersonal, distant model, idol, inaccessible celebrity, is that in social networks the contact with people makes them feel like in a closer, intimate and sensitive relationship with their many admirers, because such Followers tend to share certain interests with the celebrity they follow and to be influenced by their habits, actions and messages. From the high-end advertising to the "Prêt-à-porter" of the influential users in social networks.

With the advancement of social networks and digital media, the idea of a universal, massifying, uniformitarian, repetitive and mechanistic market is already surpassed, to understand and recognize the wealth that exists in social diversity, which behaves like a market "Multiversal" in which, although it seems to have a smaller amount of public, it increases in its quality. From the global market as a great shallow ocean, to the specific markets, as a pit of little surface and great depth. Social networks are now the "Prêt-à-porter" of advertising. In cases of marketing aimed at specific segments of the population, it was simply enough to get a prominent celebrity in fields linked to the field of interest of the sponsoring company, since usually the public that serves as a fan of the celebrity already has a social connection that makes it easier to recognize their segment. , its areas of interest, its expectations of tastes, its geographical location and its demographic significance. It is not enough with the promotions in big luminous screens, neither the commercial ones created to alternate with the cinema or the television; It is not enough to look for the suggestive image of the sensual woman or man, when what you want to advertise, for example, is a can opener or a specialized tool for a professional Chef. The universe of social networks, by their own interactions, congregates in specific social segments for marketing that greatly facilitate the selectivity of advertising messages to direct them to users with similar interests; which implies discovering also the new celebrities that exist in the theme of each social network, who are, often without knowing it, influential people in the economic decisions of their numerous followers and whose message can reach specific marketing groups that interest certain sponsor.

Maybe they do not have millions of followers, but it would be enough for a significant number of them to be convinced of the advertising message of this influential person, who announces the product or brand that the sponsoring company has hired him; and that it can perfectly reach a greater number of sales than if the most important movie star had announced it, but at an infinitely greater cost and with perhaps less sales results. In this way, marketing has new scenarios and possibilities with social networks, for those who are already influential in social networks due to the large number of followers they accumulate, for the companies that sponsor their products and brands, which aspire to reach more specific consumers; and, of course, for the same consumers, who, being simple followers of an influential person in their social networks, will receive updated and serious information regarding new products and own brands of the same sector of interest that they share.

It is said that social networks have created new ways of influencing human behavior, at mass level, and are even attributed effects on electoral victories and defeats in some countries, outside of the predictions and behaviors against conventional electoral campaigns. But just as the scalpel can be used to save lives or to remove them, depending on who manipulates it, social networks by themselves have no more influence than the influential people who operate in them. It is not enough to measure the scope of the social networks themselves, as a means, if it is not contrasted with the actors that appear in them, either as influential people, either as massive followers or as sponsoring companies of products and brands, supported in new ways of advertising. Hence the denomination of Influential, to refer to people who have a large number of followers in their social networks and who, by the nature of their occupations or specialties, as well as by public recognition of their capabilities and potential in such areas, have the power to affect behaviors in its followers in the main social networks, such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, among others; They are as conducive to behaviors and habits as any "top model" of fashion. These influential users can easily be hired by sponsoring companies to promote their products and brands among the many people who follow them. In this innovative way, advertising on social networks has the advantage of being very low cost compared to conventional advertising, with the advantage of being aimed at specific segments of consumers or users, with a more precise selectivity and demography, which derived from the information provided by the followers of social networks in their expressions, tastes, preferences and data on their gender, age, type of work or occupation, among other data, as well as the information provided in the profile of the influential personalities to which they follow. This has the advantage of creating a closer relationship or social connection between the celebrity or influential user and his universe of followers, which is a more interactive and strong link than could be provided by a simple advertisement made by some unattainable movie star or " top model ". This is especially important when it is necessary to relate and position certain products and brands that could be directed to a certain market of followers.

the economic bridge for social networks Marketing, in all its forms, is a complicated issue when it is intended to optimize the balance between the investments necessary to produce goods and services, which are production costs, together with adequate information to promote the purchase of these products among their potential consumers or users, which are advertising costs. To optimize marketing, it is necessary to have mass media, influential actors that can motivate the public to acquire these products and the previous study of the market to know both the information of other competitors and the preferences of the consuming public, especially when it comes to of specific products aimed at a social segment. In any case, the forecasts regarding the results that can be realized with the application of a marketing project are never exact and reliable. To make this marketing efficient, criteria are required to select the type of mass media, which involves analyzing its potential audience and its costs; the corporate image that the influential celebrity will have that will serve as a model to promote the product, which should be a person with fame, prestige and social recognition, but neither should they be of high bill. To solve this type of uncertainty there is the

PATRON: Synergistic power between connectivity and decentralization .

The term synergy is the action and the optimal effect of the concerted combination of several causal factors, which give a result much greater or better than the possible effect expected by the separate application of intervening factors. In the shared economy that involves marketing through very influential people with large groups of followers in their social networks, the "win-win" effect is evidenced as a synergistic power derived from simultaneously applying the intimate and peculiar connectivity between the influential users and its large population of followers or fans, with the decentralization of the decisions that each follower user has separately in the same market segment, that is, in the decentralization of the market. This factor is a contribution that

It is to combine the greater power of connection between the influential people and their numerous groups of followers, with a decentralization of the market, in specific segments. In the shared economy of social networks, three types of users interact and all deserve to benefit from the information movement they share. On the one hand, there are the celebrities that serve as Influential, for their prestige and social recognition in their area of competence, who act as "top model" in the promotion of the products they consume or use in their usual work; and that they act as hosts. On the other hand, areas of the companies producing goods and services, which require contacting people who serve as advertisers of their products, who act as guests or guests in the media space of the host, who act as sponsors. And finally, but in practice is the most important, are the followers of the influential, their fans, who are the specific market of buyers.

Sponsors (guests or guests) are companies interested in having their products promoted by the Influencer or Host in their social networks, interested in having their host manage to influence a certain number of their followers during an agreed time, so that they consume their products or services. These followers will be part of a certain demographic or destination market in regards to the materials that the influencer is advertising.
