Traackr: The Top 10 Beauty Brands Winning Influencer Marketing in April

What defines a successful influencer marketing strategy in a post-“de-influencing” trend world?

As eco-conscious consumers increasingly call the “TikTok made me buy it” era into question, brands and influencers are being tasked with rethinking creating credibility among their target demographics.

According to Traackr’s Holly Jackson, the de-influencing trend presents a unique opportunity for brands to prove they care about consumer expectations in real time. “People are ‘de-influencing,’ but it’s still influential,” said Jackson, global services director, influencer strategy and measurement. “The savvier brands are thinking about how they can adjust the way they are partnering with influencers to make sure they’re not part of the negative sentiment around the trend.”

Meanwhile, brands like Neutrogena — which was the exclusive skin and sun care sponsor of Coachella — are winning on social by engaging consumers in-person. “There is the ability for a brand to go big with an event-based campaign and see a lot of success,” said Jackson.
