Welcome to The Influenced.

Do you find yourself thinking about influencers a lot?

Because same. But instead of keeping conversations about influencer culture solely on social media, I’m writing a newsletter about it.

What is this newsletter?

The Influenced is a newsletter about the culture of content creation. It aims to draw attention to how influencers engage with their audiences and how these behaviors impact their millennial, Gen Z,  and new Gen Alpha audiences.

Who am I?

My name is Cam Thompson, and I’m not an influencer. I’m a Gen Z journalist based in New York City.

I was most recently Managing Editor of the Tonic Journal, and previously a reporter at CoinDesk covering digital culture. I graduated from Tufts University with a degree in Economics.
