opinion shapers


Explanation:
I think your idea is the best so far! "Formers" is too literal, "leaders" does not really convey the idea and "shapers" has a nice alliterative quality

neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): has it occurred to you that the Spanish is probably literally translated from the 'original' English?

  -> I'm not sure if that is relevant.
neutral  Michele Fauble: I agree that 'opinion former' is too literal' and 'opinion leader' doesn't really convey the idea. 'Opinion makers' is far more common than 'opinion shapers' (99,400 google hits vs. 10,300).
