The annual #EUinfluencer event, a much-anticipated highlight within the EU Bubble, once again paid tribute to the top 50 influencers of the year. In 2023, Dave Keating was recognized as the leading #EUinfluencer for his content and engagement with key audiences in the EU bubble.  

The influencers who made it to the top 50 list in 2023 are a diverse and dynamic group, each contributing to the vibrancy of our social media feeds with their engaging and insightful posts. For the 7th #EUinfluencer ranking, we included research into Mastodon and LinkedIn as well as highlighting individuals active on TikTok and Instagram for their influence.  

This ranking comes amid a rapidly changing social media landscape where the state of flux of X could mark the beginning of radical changes as politicians, associations and journalists realise that their preferred platform is no longer offering stability.  

Here is the #EUinfluencer 2023 Top-50 list:
