Niche of the Week: Cultural Travel Bloggers

Back in January, we launched our brand new software technology, ARIA, designed to majorly cut back on the time spent conducting influencer discovery.

Fast forward a few months and ARIA has now helped us present and assign hundreds of creators to even the most niche of marketing campaigns.

Using a highly-receptive, prompt-based search engine, ARIA is able to filter out eligible influencers from a database of over 200+ million profiles according to the tiniest of details. From female micro-influencers in engineering to non-binary influencers in sustainable fashion, ARIA caters to the needs of every marketer, brand, and passer by.

To champion its capabilities, we’ve put ARIA to the test in a new series called ‘Niche of the Week’. Each week we’ll test ARIA’s prompt-based search engine by inputting detailed prompts into the search bar and exploring the results, proving ARIA’s influencer discovery power.

This week, we asked ARIA to find us 12 cultural travel bloggers on TikTok and Instagram who specialise in bringing cultural experiences to our very screens. For those who create content around cultural immersion and local experiences and for those whose content highlights authentic local interactions and off-the-beaten-path destinations.

For some, we simply can’t afford to book a trip to Japan next week. This is why we turn to social media, to live through the eyes of those we follow, to immerse ourselves in the bewilderment and lust of the adventures we seek.
