Who are the Charlotte-area trendsetters — those foodies, fashionistas or social geniuses we all love to follow?

Our reporters combed social media to find some of the most popular influencers in the Queen City, asking questions: What made them go viral? What’s a typical day like? What are the secrets to their success?

Read the entire package here but as a bonus, The Charlotte Observer is teaming up with Black Wednesday, an influencer marketing agency, to host an evening mixer with popular content creators, beginning at 6 p.m., Wednesday, April 17, 529 Briar Creek Rd.
