The results are in! After months of meticulous research, data analysis, and expert review, we’re thrilled to unveil the #EUinfluencer 2024 rankings.
This year’s approach is a testament to the diverse and dynamic nature of the EU digital policy space. From seasoned veterans to rising stars, these influencers are the voices driving conversations on the issues that matter most to the EU bubble.
This ranking comes amid a rapidly changing social media landscape, and as politicians, associations, and journalists navigate this new reality looking for more stable platforms to continue their influence and engagement, for this year’s ranking, we expanded our research to include not only X but also LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads and TikTok, reflecting the platforms where policy discussions are increasingly taking place.
Additionally, we combined the data analysed from different channels to create a single unified ranking, which better reflects the influence of the winners across all platforms.
Below you will find all the rankings divided by channel.
