For example, the American style and motivational

the Hamptons, open during each weekend in
summertime.
To create publicity for this event, REVOLVE made sure
to include an array of “InstaFamous” fashion & lifestyle
bloggers on their guest list, each with a substantial
following on Instagram e.g. Chiara Ferragni, Aimee Song
and Rumi Neely, along with “It-girl” models and
celebrities such as Hailey Baldwin and Emily
Ratajkowski.
The event concept was modelled around that of a LA
celebrity-style house party – complete with food &
drinks, a DJ, an outdoor pool, and beautiful people. The
idea was simple: influencers were invited to wear any
outfit of their choice from REVOLVE’s pop-up selection,
then go off and enjoy the event with their friends.

IMPLICATIONS.
One Transparent involvement of creators and influencers in a marketing activity boosts
credibility and authenticity of the effort. Avoid staged collaborations.
Two Collaboration between brands and influencers should be win-win for both. Influencers
are a “brand” themselves. All marketing activities should be designed in a way to leave room for
their creativity, interpretation and adjustment for the creator himself.
Three All influencer marketing efforts should be designed to appeal to and grow a fan base
rather than bring short-term entertainment to random audience. Think about opportunities to
multiply your fan base by teaming up with relevant influencers and through them– appealing to
their own & dedicated followers.

Schloss Ulrichshusen was the perfect venue, with its romantic architecture, green fields and enchanting atmosphere. The theme was ‘TRENDS & NATURE’, which was reflected in the many activities. Trend forecaster Gemma Gambee gave workshops on the latest trends, encouraging the bloggers to create their own styles. There were also screen printings, photo shoots in the nature and a barre workout with Nike trainer Alex Hipwell. LHBS // SNAPSHOT: INFLUENCER MARKETING EVENTS

    UNDERSTAND TODAY. SHAPETOMORROW. IMPLICATIONS. One Transparent involvement of creators and influencers in a marketing activity boosts credibility and authenticity of the effort. Avoid staged collaborations. Two Collaboration between brands and influencers should be win-win for both. Influencers are a “brand” themselves. All marketing activities should be designed in a way to leave room for their creativity, interpretation and adjustment for the creator himself. Three All influencer marketing efforts should be designed to appeal to and grow a fan base rather than bring short-term entertainment to random audience. Think about opportunities to multiply your fan base by teaming up with relevant influencers and through them– appealing to their own & dedicated followers.
