Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) are people who already hold a certain reputation in society, and were asked to advertise brands to get the news spread wide. They are individuals who are trusted and respected specifically for their status quo or specialties. Famous people like movie stars, models, celebutants, or people who made themselves famous on certain social media platforms are all Key Opinion Leaders (KOL).
