Hi, I’m Jess, I’m 24 and I am what's known as a millennial.

Influencer Relationship Management (IRM) draws its roots from Customer Relationship Management (CRM). If CRM is the way businesses create positive relationships with their customers, then IRM is the way in which these companies foster positive relationships with social media influencers.
