Social Media Day And Binance's Army Of Brand Ambassadors
June 30th was Social Media Day and we had a special interview with the CEO of an influencer marketing company to discuss social media in Africa and the creator economy. Check out our interview.
In other social media news, the popular Tiktok star Khaby Lame just signed a brand ambassador partnership with Binance to help promote the blockchain and Web3.
Binance has been on a roll signing ambassadors. Last week, they signed Ronaldo to a partnership deal as well.
Will we see another partnership with a big-name celebrity in the near future? We would definitely bet on it.
