Influencers: The Keystone of Marketing in the Fashion, Luxury and Beauty Sectors
In recent years, the figure of the Influencer has become a powerful marketing tool within the fashion, luxury and beauty space.
Brands have become accustomed to collaborating with influencers to generate visibility toward their products and services, tapping into different target markets to ultimately increase the desirability of products in various ways.
As a result, being an Influencer has become a full-fledged occupation. Thanks to their carefully crafted content, Influencers cultivate and nurture their communities to establish authenticity, which acts as a powerful drive to purchase for collaborating brands.
