Brand awareness: influencer’s role, being woke and cancel culture

The power of ambassadors: Kpop x Luxury edition 

Even the biggest luxury brands can take their game even higher with the correct choice of ambassadors and representatives. This is such the case of Dior with Kpop singer and BTS member Park Jimin. We might believe that there are brands that “already made it”, that do not need more upgrades or changes or are already so positioned that they just follow their own rules, but that’s far away from the truth. All brands need to move forward, based on their values and improve what they do by listening to their customers’ to meet their needs and desires. That was the

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Live Shopping

Live shopping or social e-commerce happens on our social media platforms in real-time. How does it work? The brand or one of its influencers shares in real time what products are for sale, their benefits, and even the brand’s favourite products. It reminds us a bit of what we used to see back in time with telecommerce programs; the brand would deeply explain every product in each category.  Why should we consider using this tactic as a brand for holiday and after-holiday sales?  As mentioned in our “Consumer Trends 2022” report, by 2026, 60% of millennial and Gen Z consumers

Influencers who become life influences

During the last years, we have experienced different adversities that have made us depend even more on the media to be able to inform our knowledge and learn how to face these challenges.

Social animals and the future of social media

I feel very fortunate to be part of the generation that experienced the transition from the analogue to the digital world. I was neither too old nor too young. It allowed me to understand the potential of new technologies and simultaneously experience it as something almost magical: the first email, the first web page, the first search engine… A new world to be discovered, and every day was an adventure. But the unforgettable memory that blew my mind was when I was visiting a friend, and he showed me the chat on a page called ole.com. He said, “I’m talking
