Back with a bang again with this weeks ‘Brands That Slay’ – honestly with my endless list I could write for hours about who’s killing it, but let’s see who made the cut… Let's start with BARK – a brand I'm OBSESSED with, even though I'm not their target audience (I don’t have a dog). Their socials are absolutely top-tier. One thing about me: if there's humour, I’m sold. I love a brand that uses a light-hearted approach, especially when they throw in a little meme action. Super clever and effortless – hat’s off to the team! Elise R., Madison Marcus, Dave Stangle, Lauren Diener... Next up, and a bit random for me, is Dollar Shave Club. At first glance, they might seem like your typical razor brand, but once you dive into their Instagram, it’s the kind of page you can scroll for hours. To me, that's a job well done. I love their tone of voice and how they connect with their audience and customers. Ebba Håkansson, Zain Nawaz, Jason Rothman, Jimi Hansen, Megan Milazzo, Chad Seeber. Now for a brand that I just CANNOT deny is smashing it: UKLASH. For a beauty brand that isn’t necessarily the biggest on the market, I’d be shocked if you haven’t heard of them. Every other video I scroll past on TikTok is someone raving about their product. When you have a community that supportive, you know you’re doing something right. Just in LOVE with this brand. Isabella Clara Leary, Clare Tyrer, Lizzie Hearne, Sarah P.. Another TikTok sensation has to be Doll Beauty. I'm all about brands that offer high-quality yet affordable products, so watch out, everyone. Their explosive growth on TikTok and the ease of shopping directly through the app make sales a breeze. Plus, their branding is spot on – if you haven't noticed from my posts, it's very much my vibe. For me, they are top of the list! One last one, and this one's for the Vampire Diaries lovers – I couldn’t resist mentioning this (even if it's a bit off topic): Brother's Bond Bourbon. PLEASE, has anyone seen the 'Gopuff' ad reel on Insta?? It felt like watching a whole film, with the perfect tease to make you think Stefan and Damon were coming back to our screens (if you know, you know). I just can’t cope. It’s the most hooked I’ve been from a post in a longggg time. Remington Nelson, Nicole Tharaldson, Tess Michelis. Apologies to anyone I missed in the tags (would be here all day otherwise 😋) What brands have caught your eye this week? Georgia Merrington

Last week, I was blown away by this UGC ad concept… And honestly, this can actually increase your ROI to 3x-5x → FaceTime With Yourself It makes you stop and think, and it's super relatable because it's real people having chats with themselves. Plus, it taps into the trend of people sharing their own content online. So, it doesn’t look like an ad, and makes it a way for brands to connect with people in a genuine way. Will you use this concept? Tell me in the comments. ------ 👋 I am Harshvardhan Ruia from Studio APS.

Bumble made a big f*cking fumble, and here’s why 👇🏻 When Bumble was created by founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, it was described as a ‘feminist dating app’. Given how rampant poor experiences were for women on other dating and general social apps (unsolicited 🍆 pics and related behaviours, anyone?), Bumble definitely seemed to be filling a gap. Their unique selling proposition was that women made first contact with the men they matched with. And now, combined with a feature that now allows men to do the same, this ad completely reverses both WHY Bumble was created and who its primary audience is. Here’s where it fumbles ASTRONOMICALLY: 🐝 It puts all of the onus on women to resolve the alleged issue of celibacy… as opposed to acknowledging the reasons why celibacy rates may have increased 🐝 It implies women are the ones who should change their behaviour for the benefit of the dating pool, rather than focusing on the male and societal behaviours that encourage celibacy 🐝 The wording of ‘you know full well’ has an undertone of obligation, which, given the nature of the discussion, is beyond problematic 🐝 It’s a dating app, and dating doesn’t equal sex… to imply so completely reneges on their portrayal that they’re different from other apps associated with this, like Tinder 🐝 Asexual people exist, as do those that are celibate for other important reasons that shouldn’t be diminished 🐝 All of this… during a rather viral discussion about women choosing ‘the bear’ seems to indicate a complete lack of research for their primary audience In short, completely wrong message, completely against alleged values, and completely tone deaf to the current climate. All in all, it’s a copy clusterfuck. Though Bumble have given their humble apologies, I think that a lot of people will see this as too little too late. Losing the values and the selling points that made you unique and relatable to people’s struggles with modern dating are definitely a way to make those already plummeting profits even worse. (Especially after already planning to lay off 30% of your workforce 🥹) Long story short? If you’re going to make your entire business revolve around being the answer to a problem, don’t become the problem. #BumblingFumblingAndCrumbling #BumbleTookATumble

I’ve come across many influencers who reach out without having a media kit and just drop a couple of sentences, not in the slightest tailored to the brand, hoping for a brand collab 🤦🏽‍♀️ Media kits are what set you apart from other influencers and showcase your unique value to potential brand partners. A well crafted influencer media kit includes: ✅ A compelling bio that tells your story ✅ Key stats: follower count, engagement rate, audience demographics ✅ Highlights of previous successful brand partnerships ✅ Your contact information ✅ Your rates But it's not just about what's in your kit, it's how you use it to your benefit when it comes to brand collabs. Want to know how exactly how to create your own media kit? Check out the Buffer article (link in comments) which I had the pleasure of contributing to 🙌🏽Thank you Kirsti Lang for the opportunity ✨

Be an 'online impacter' instead of an 'influencer', writes researcher and workplace happiness consultant Declan Edwards. "When I think of an influencer I tend to think: massive following, little to no lasting impact and [their] purpose is to fling products (which they might not even personally use)," he says. In contrast, Edwards argues 'impacters' have an authentic connection with a smaller audience, are motivated by positive change and promote valuable ideas.
