For many O.H.ers, Phoenix is the city we call home. It’s a vibrant oasis known for Spring training, world-class resorts, spas, and golf. It also continues to grow, and as it expands, so does the influence of local social media content creators who are shaping how we experience this jewel of the Southwest. From foodies to fashionistas, local influencers are not just sharing their lives online; they’re also helping local businesses connect with their communities.
Because Phoenix is a popular destination for tourists, snowbirds, and transplants, it’s no wonder that local influencers are invaluable resources for people looking for new adventures in the desert.
