I just got back from speaking at the annual Lifesavers Conference in Baltimore. If you’re not familiar, it’s one of the largest gatherings of professionals dedicated to roadway safety, government, law enforcement, and community advocates all focused on one thing: saving lives. So… what was an influencer marketing agency doing there? That question everyone keeps asking and it gets to a bigger misconception about influencer marketing. It’s not just beauty, pets, or the latest f

Here's how we built the only influencer machine that actually prints money. We Birthed the Unboxing Revolution Influencer opens box. Audience holds breath. Sales spik

Chances are, you've scrolled past an unboxing video (or ten) on TikTok or Instagram. But have you ever stopped and wondered: why do brands do this, and does it really work? Here's the secret: unboxing isn't just about pretty packaging. An influencer box campaign, often referred to as a seeding kit, press kit, media kit, or hype kit creates moments that naturally translate into authentic content. When executed strategically, it can spark the kind of buzz that moves the needle.

Q4 hits different in regulated categories. If you're running influencer campaigns for financial services, health products, kids' brands, alcohol, or supplements, you know exactly what we mean. Budgets are locked, timelines are compressed, and one missed disclosure can destroy months of planning. Here's what actually works: you can run fast, compliant campaigns without burning through legal reviews or your remaining budget. This playbook shows you exactly how. Why Compliance

In the hit series, Mad Men, the advertising world scrambled as health concerns and regulations redefined how tobacco could be marketed. What followed wasn't the end of messaging, it was a reinvention. Just like agencies in the 1970s evolved beyond slogans and TV jingles, today's public institutions are rethinking how public service announcements (PSAs) are delivered. In 2025, a PSA isn't just a 30-second TV spot, it's a TikTok story, an Instagram Reel, or a creator-led video

Let's start with what everyone's thinking but not saying: most influencer campaigns are still stuck in 2019. Brands send products, cross their fingers, and hope for posts. Meanwhile, the smartest players have figured out that product seeding — when done strategically — is driving more authentic awareness than their entire paid media budget. Here's what's really happening. The Shift Nobody Saw Coming Product Seeding vs. Everything Else We need to clear something up. Product se

College Enrollment Decline: The Numbers Are Clear The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia projects a 15

Government shutdowns due to the Covid pandemic hit the theme park industry hard. Fortunately, most operators have rebounded and are on pace to performing at their pre-pandemic rates. A look-back at one operator’s successful approach to staying afloat demonstrated the versatility of social media marketing in crafting effective advertising strategy. Predictably, most companies seized the downtime as an opportunity to educate, entertain and keep audiences engaged by offering dig

Valentine's Day 2022 was forecasted to be the second-highest spending year on record, increasing about ~10% compared to last year. The Pandemic had been driving people to shop online more often than in years prior, but the trend has been threatened by increased prices and costs due to supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. So how can marketers convince consumers to shop without fear of breaking the bank? Walmart saw this as an opportunity to play into its #DateNight tr

Consumer interest in self-care products skyrocketed during the Pandemic. As life goes on we continue to take personal maintenance matters into our homes and hands which is why face masks, nail polish and hair treatments are still trending on Amazon. Taking care of oneself is a head-to-toe process and Covid-19 amplified a need for at-home foot care solutions. The category has since exploded with the release of foot care innovations and offerings.

HOOVER® banks on Momfluencers as homes (and kids) get messier during the Pandemic Thanks to the Omnicron virus, many of us are back again to being indoors. And more time spent inside likely equals more spills, dirt, dust and for many new pet owners, dog hair. Last year, HOOVER® stepped in to help Mommas clean up more efficiently with the Hoover® ONEPWR Evolve Cordless Vacuum and the Hoover® ONEPWR Dust Chaser Hand Vacuum. The iconic 100+ year old brand put Momfluencers up to
