It’s no secret that Father’s Day isn’t as popular as Mother’s Day — and there are actually statistics to prove this! In fact, two-thirds of social media-savvy dads agree that their day of the year doesn’t get as much media attention as Mother’s Day (sorry dad, we’ll try to do better next year).
Since Father’s Day 2021 is coming up, The Influence Agency is here to shine the spotlight on some of the cool dads on Instagram! These American dad influencers are sharing their wisdom and adventures with the world of social media and are quickly gaining massive traction for it.
Scroll through to see who they are — and get ready to add 10 more people to the list of accounts you’re following!
