RT journal article T1 Influencers, personal branding and political ideology on Twitter T2 Influencers, marca personal e ideología política en Twitter A1 Fernández Gómez, Jorge David A1 Hernández-Santaolalla, Víctor A1 Sanz Marcos, Paloma A2 Marketing y Comunicación K1 opinion leader K1 social media K1 ideologeme K1 political communication K1 personal branding AB Social media has been a participant of the growth of the role of the influencer as a new model of opinion leader who combines personal branding with a prescriber role, including messages with political content. In this context, this research has applied a content analysis to 790 messages from ten Spanish influencers with a high impact on Twitter. We analyzed in particular the pursued objectives, the topics discussed and the ideological content of the tweets. In this regard, although these messages reflected an ideological political objective, the discourse is quite moderate, if not de-ideologized.
