Usage example "The research also discovered a new set of influencers called stakebrokers, a group of highly engaged individuals who act and think in ways that differentiate them from traditional influencers. Stakebrokers engage with companies from the perspective of, and with the interests of, all of the different traditional stakeholder groups simultaneously: consumers, community members, environmentalists, policy influencers, employees and investors.
