The Influencer is a playable CEO archetype who boosts hype generation by 50% through personal branding, but burns an extra $10,000/week hosting promotional launch parties.
THE INFLUENCER
For The Influencer, a company is just a vehicle to build a personal audience. They spend more time designing the company logo, filming office vlogs, and fighting on Twatter than writing software. They command a loyal army of followers, but their lifestyle burns runway at a terrifying pace.
What is the starting advantage of the Influencer CEO?
The Influencer boosts Hype Generation by 50%. Any marketing campaigns or narrative events that generate hype receive a massive bonus, allowing you to easily inflate your company valuation during pitch battles.
What are the gameplay trade-offs for the Influencer?
You suffer from a permanent +$10,000/week burn rate penalty due to constant promotional parties, travel, and entourage costs. If you fail to secure early VC funding, your runway will evaporate before your product compiles.
