Whilst well-known influencers can make a massive impact on a company's visibility online, they also face their fair share of judgement from social media users when doing so. One influence has been slammed for trying to persuade a rescue centre to give her a free puppy in exchange for Instagram exposure.
In a message to the animal charity, which has been shared on Reddit, the unknown influencer wrote: "Hi. Are you guys keen on collaboration with me? I will be able to deliver one Instagram carousel post and one Instagram story post (a repost of the first post). "You guys will need to sponsor me a puppy of my choice. Usually companies sponsor products and remuneration. The reason why I'm keen on this collaboration is because I'm looking for a buddy for my current dog."
