Man City advertise for influencers to showcase 'electrifying atmosphere'

Maybe a generation gap on here but influencer's do now have a power to change a brand. Look at Mrs Hinch for toiletries and Joe wicks fitness. This is how e-commence is done nowadays.
Faze Clan were at the wolves games are a group of esports youtubers who compete for large volumes of money in tournaments. Their reach is massive with 4m on twitter, and over 7m on youtube. Their sponsors include Wiz.com, FIFA and Nissan. All City sponsors. Plus these guys are always running about in city shirts in their videos. Personally, its not my generation but its business in 2019.
In terms of football, 1 person or a group of people can influence the city brand by attending games or BTS work with the team. This will then get more exposure than many traditional media channels and for a lower overall cost. They could fly in some yank with 1million followers and give him a shirt for the price of a billboard in Manchester city centre! City are playing catch up on fan base and engagment but this is the natural step to close the gap on RM, United, Liverpool, Barca...
Arsenal TV is the obvious top football fan channel currently but usually their means is for comedy value rather than appraisal of the club directly. That being said, looking at their metrics, im sure their reach is to furthest corners of the globe and this would "influence" someone to become an Arsenal fan (buy tickets, shirts)!
Some on here and the media like Paddy power will take the Mick of this but this is normal practice. People and brands make millions this way.

Man, I hate when ex business partners do work for free and without being asked!So the club state a third partner agency they have previously used have done this with no permission! Wow I am shocked the club have not got a tighter legal restriction on anything to do with the clubs image & rights.
why on earth would a third party agency do this without permission ?
All very odd
It's poor as it makes the club look small time and arrogant ('three unknown clubs' ffs).Man, I hate when ex business partners do work for free and without being asked!
No surprise. If a club like ourselves wanted to do this properly they’d work with someone like GOAT or similar. There also wouldn’t be a public ad.Looks like this ad was done without club knowledge https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...ews/man-city-news-influencers-latest-17131750
There is no age gap mate. I’m twenties and work in the industry. Whatever way you look at it it’s a shocker.Probably true. But it certainly makes me feel old! I don't actually know what or whom 'Faze clan' are, nor wiz.com. But then I'm not the target audience for this kind of stuff, I assume City are trying to entice the 12-25ish age range?
