Gen Z – 10 Multi-Hyphenate Influencers

Media personality/Content Creator/Brand Ambassador: Khaby Lame

(+ above Spokesperson Category Average): Awareness (+30), Appeal (+11), Endorsement Score (+42), Social Impact Score (+42)

Impact influencer: There’s no doubting Khaby Lame’s influencer status with 2022 marking his reign as the most followed TikToker in the world (154+ million followers) as well landing at #8 in the Forbes Top Creator ranking. With TikTok being the leader in Gen Z engagement, Khaby has become the go-to partner for brands looking to connect with this in-demand consumer segment.

State Farm is the most recent company to enlist Khaby’s talents, launching a Super Bowl LVII themed TikTok challenge to reach Gen Z consumers instead of going the more traditional route with an in-game ad spot.

Khaby’s emergence as a star influencer for brands has helped him cross over into Beverage (fronted rollout campaign of Nitro Pepsi at the 2022 Oscars), Sports (PSG), Finance (Binance), and High Fashion (designed a collection for Hugo Boss).

Khaby has his eyes set on Hollywood for his latest ventures and will look to add the actor title to his growing resume.

Here are five key attributes helping drive Khaby’s appeal among Gen Z (+ above average):

Hollywood power player: Michael B. Jordan continues to build his brand and extend his influence through a number of different avenues.

He’s a red-hot actor with three high profile projects in the works: Creed III, Thomas Crown Affair, and Rainbow Six. He’s going behind the camera as well with the upcoming Creed III film representing his directorial debut as well as heading two media companies: Outlier Society (production) and Obsidianworks (cultural marketing agency).

Gen X – 10 Multi-Hyphenate Influencers

Actor/Producer/Writer/Brand Ambassador: Jason Momoa

(+ above Spokesperson Category Average): Awareness (+23), Appeal (+45), Endorsement Score (+20), Social Impact Score (+16)

The superhero activist: Having the good fortune of finding yourself attached to tentpole franchises can quickly build a celebrity’s brand power – just ask Jason Momoa.

His star turns in Game of Thrones, Aquaman, Justice League, Dune, and the upcoming Fast X film have boosted his stock and established Momoa as a fan favorite. There are no signs of slowing down either with the Aquaman sequel in December 2023 and his rumored attachment to a Cliffhanger remake and the Minecraft film.

Big brands such as Quicken and Harley-Davidson have sought out Jason’s star power in partnerships, but his true passion is tackling climate change. The UN named him an official advocate for Life Below Water and he is the founder of the bottled water brand Mananalu, which tackles single-use plastic waste. He’s even turned to apparel with an outdoor product line ‘On The Roam’.

Here are five key attributes helping drive Jason’s appeal among Gen X (+ above average):
