Short answer

A macro-influencer is a creator with a large following, commonly around 100,000 to one million followers, offering broad reach at higher cost. They often have professional-quality content and established brand experience. Macro-influencers suit awareness campaigns, though engagement rates are frequently lower than those of smaller creators with more niche audiences.
