Some brands just get it. Pop culture, generational trends, eras — the zeitgeisty moments move fast, but can be powerful vehicles to connect with consumers in the moment.

Listen as leaders from OPI, Huda Beauty and Kayali, and Milani Cosmetics share their wins, challenges, and learnings from carefully crafting their brands’ contributions to the culture, without getting distracted from their ultimate goals of building community and driving sales.

Marketers inherently understand the value of creator marketing, but if they can’t articulate the value, securing budget and resources to scale what’s working is going to be difficult. Collecting raw data isn’t enough — we have to uncover insights that turn into intelligence. Metrics like Earned Media Value, creator retention, and social following growth aren’t at odds with business metrics like conversion and revenue — when measured and optimized intentionally, they can go hand in hand. In this session moderated by Ashton Wall, leaders at Chubbies, Ruggable and Jones Road Beauty share how data and insights have transformed their marketing efforts.
