In it’s 2021 season premiere, The Feed takes a deep dive into the murky world of social media influencers.
In a wild experiment, journalist Calliste Weitenberg and producer Elise Potaka build a fake influencer persona to see if they can cash in on what’s now a $15 billion industry.
Documenting the process over six months, the series examines the rise of a new frontier in advertising, where influencers are paid or given contra to spruik products.
Everyone is out to make a buck, but at what cost?
Presented by Marc Fennell, Alice Matthews and Alex Lee, the multi Walkley Award-winning program The Feed continues to break new ground with its compelling mix of current affairs and comedy, interviews and investigations.
