Short answer
A mega-influencer is a creator or celebrity with more than about one million followers, used mainly for mass awareness. Partnerships offer enormous reach and visibility but come at high cost and often lower engagement rates. Audiences are broad rather than niche, so mega-influencers suit large launches more than targeted conversion campaigns.
