Indonesia sees a rise in influencer marketing, with momfluencers emerging as key figures, offering brands unique opportunities for diverse outreach.
In Indonesia, there has been an increase in the prominence of influencer marketing, repleted with individuals seeking to seize the opportunity and ride the crest of this wave.
The primary factor contributing to this expansion entails the remarkably swift rate at which social media is embraced in the country. As of January 2023, Indonesia boasted a staggering 167 million social media users, representing 60.4% of its total population.¹
Another noteworthy observation is that a significant majority of Indonesians demonstrate a preference for influencer accounts as opposed to brand accounts.² It arises from their ability to obtain extensive yet perceived genuine information from influencers, which may resonate on a personal level.
79% of Indonesian social media users exhibit a heightened interest to seek more information after consuming influencer-generated content.³
Given the prevailing tendency, it is imperative for brands to leverage the role of social media influencers in order to effectively market its products or services.
Moms as Today’s Super Consumers
The adoption of digital technologies, driven by the pandemic, has led to a surge in the consumption of short-form content and videos, thereby expediting the growth of the nation’s creator economy, most particularly in the realm of social commerce.
As key decision-makers in 85% of household expenditures,⁵ moms become an indispensable target audience that necessitates powerful yet efficacious persuasion strategies. They emerge as a significant focal point, not solely due to their impressive purchasing capacity, but also due to their remarkable ability to exert influence on others.

In a fast-paced world where marketing messages surround us at every turn, brands should gracefully acclimatise themselves to the ever-evolving trends, particularly in attracting the hearts of moms as super consumers.The need to connect with moms on a personal level, offering content that is genuine and intimate, has never been more important. Hence, among the effective methods to achieve this objective is by engaging with momfluencers, who tend to display the willingness of openly sharing their experiences in an authentic manner, without concealing any detail.
