How are creators originating trends? Let’s talk about ‘Normalize Insecurities’ by beauty creator Megha Singh. The series, dedicated to uplifting young girls by dispelling negative thoughts around common insecurities like acne and facial hair, became an instant trend on TikTok. The first video garnered 12M views on TikTok and sparked instant brand participation. Beauty brands such as #BoxyCharm and Huda Beauty joined the movement by releasing content of their own. The trend made waves on TikTok, and users were remaking their own versions using the same audio as Megha.

We adopted a talent-first, social-first strategy to promote the brand’s product, collaborating with local celebrities to make them the ultimate local guides: -The Magical Music Tour of London Guided by Paloma Faith Music icon Paloma Faith will take tourists on her exclusive tour of London’s vibrant music and theatre scene. From the eclectic East End to the West End, Paloma’s unique tour reveals the city’s most iconic music venues. -A Visit to Toulouse Imagined by Bigflo and Oli French hip hop duo Bigflo & Oli will share the hidden gems of Toulouse. With over a billion views and streams on YouTube, their success is undeniable. They even created a new song for this unforgettable tour, showcasing Toulouse's spirit and culture.

Are creators the new creatives? Once seen as a separate career path from the ‘traditional’ ad industry, social creators are increasingly being recognised for their skills in crafting effective branded content. Alex Williamson 🤺, our global creative director, says: “At Billion Dollar Boy, creators are key contributors in the creative development process, treated as a true extension of the core agency team and creative control is shared between us. “Collaborations like this often lead to more successful outcomes, but they’re not necessarily new, as similar partnerships like this exist in the world already.” Rebecca Fulleylove explores why more agencies and brands are teaming up with creators in Creative Review.

📈 Did you know that three-quarters of marketers are ramping up their trend-based social media content this year, according to our new research. Currently, one in five social media posts are already dedicated to trend-based content. With even more brands and creators planning to get in on the action, trend-hijacking will become more common and more competitive. But it's not without its challenges. Marketers have to navigate trends that fade fast, slow legal and internal approval processes, and find a spin on trends that feels true to the brand. The good news? With the right strategies, structures and trusted creator partners, brands can deliver better quality trend-based content quicker. Curious about how marketers can get it right? Check out Marketing Week's article linked below. #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy #Trends

Influencer marketing is soaring in 2024. 🚀 Our global CEO, Edward East, spoke with Business Insider about why we anticipate continued industry growth. As competition heats up and investment in linear channels loses steam, influencer marketing is set to soar: "Big events like the U.S. presidential election and Olympics will also drive up ad revenue. We expect to see more collaborations with legacy brands and in new verticals ripe for disruption, including the service sector. This includes increased investment in tech innovations within the sector.” Read the full story in the comments below. #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy
