556,000 followers – for a dog? Nothing out of the ordinary at the “German Petfluencer Awards”. This year, for the first time, an account was recognized that uses its reach for a good cause.
Cologne – Red carpet for four-legged friends: In Cologne, particularly successful dog profiles from social networks have been awarded the “German Petfluencer Awards”.
The “@cookiethehuskyyy” account was voted “Petfluencer of the Year” on TikTok with almost 556,000 followers. In the opinion of the organizer, mistress Lisa shares everyday adventures with humorous videos and a charming overall appearance – and thus convinced the jury. Altogether there were awards in five categories.
Petfluencer – pet is the English word for pet – like influencers, let their fans participate in their lives via social media accounts and advertise all sorts of things. The protagonists are animals and not people.
