摘      要：We study a challenging problem for a firm to influence social media influencers where conflicts of interest exist between the firm and an influencer with the influencer's own brand, when the influencer persuades the influencer's followers to purchase either the firm's brand or the influencer's own brand. We further study the influencer's conflicts of interest with the firm when the firm chooses to affiliate with the influencer either fully or partially. We design a Bayesian Persuasion model to capture the persuasive conflicts of interest between the firm and the influencer, and allow the influencer to design an information structure by designing a test to transfer the match information about the firm's product and the influencer's product to the influencer's followers. We show that a firm may have more incentive to affiliate an influencer with her own brand than without, even with both the direct and indirect persuasive conflicts of interest between the influencer and the firm, and an influencer with her own brand can become more persuasive for the followers.
