Skims Campaign Features ‘White Lotus’ Breakout Stars

  • Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims, launched a campaign with stars of “The White Lotus.”
  • Engagement on the post has outpaced the typical response from fans.
  • A marketing professor outlines why the campaign works and what entrepreneurs can learn from it.

About six weeks after season two of “The White Lotus” concluded, the fan-favorite actors Simona Tabasco and Beatrice Grannò were featured in a lingerie campaign for Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims.

On Monday, Kardashian shared images and a video on Instagram of the women, who played Lucia and Mia on the show, for her company’s Valentine’s Day collection. The duo, who starred alongside powerhouse actors like Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza in the Emmy-winning series, quickly became beloved characters among viewers, including Kardashian.

“I watched The White Lotus and had to have my girls!” Kardashian wrote in the caption of the Instagram post kicking off the campaign.

Skims’ inaugural Instagram post for the campaign garnered more than 45,000 likes, while other posts on Skims’ Instagram profile have typically gotten 2,000 to 6,000 likes. The TikTok video campaign has more than 1.1 million views, compared to the brand’s usual range of 30,000 to 70,000 views.

“Part of what the Skims brand represents is real, everyday women use this product to uplift themselves,” said Jared Watson, an assistant professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business. “Now more than ever, what’s aspirational to many is not necessarily perfection.”

Watson added that with this campaign, Skims is leveraging characters who are both relatable and aspirational to evoke that perception of the product.

Here’s why the latest Skims campaign works and what other business owners can learn for their brand marketing, according to Watson.

Relatability and emotion contributed to the campaign’s virality

Watson said the relationships we build with onscreen talent are what makes campaigns like Kardashian’s so effective.

“Parasocial relationships are one-way relationships we form with people on television or on the internet where it feels like we know them,” he said. “That’s what Skims is doing fantastically here. For fans of ‘The White Lotus,’ we feel this source of pride, like ‘here’s our friend getting a platform.'”

Watson speculated that most of the campaign’s value would be in the form of a new or strengthened affinity for the Skims brand from customers. He added that while it’s too early to tell whether the campaign is a financial success for Skims, it’s likely to increase traffic to the brand.

Fans of “The White Lotus” are likely checking in on their favorite stars on social media, which could lead them to engage with the Skims campaign to feel even more connected, he said.

Joining cultural conversations can help businesses of all sizes

To be sure, Kardashian, who has an estimated net worth of $1.8 billion, has the social and financial capital to convince major players to join her ad campaigns; for example, the former Victoria’s Secret supermodels Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel modeled for Skims last year.

But business owners with smaller budgets can find other ways to engage in cultural conversations to support their marketing, Watson said.

For example, pizza chain & pizza sends out marketing text messages pegged to pop-culture headlines that also correspond to sales promotions, he added. Small-business owners can mirror this strategy for events like the Super Bowl or a highly anticipated episode of television to attract customers.

What’s more, sharing timely posts on social media that are related to these moments is another way to organically draw more social engagement to your brand’s page.

“You’re not going to be able to emulate the reach of Kim Kardashian overnight,” he said. “But you are able to contribute to these pop-culture conversations.”

2023 Deloitte Global Marketing Trends Report Outlines Opportunities in Uncertain Times

Amid economic uncertainties, Deloitte forecasts marketers will experience breakthroughs in tech, increased consumer focus on sustainability and more in 2023 according to annual report

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ —

Deloitte's 2023 Global Marketing Trends Report Outlines Opportunities in Uncertain Times.

Deloitte’s 2023 Global Marketing Trends Report Outlines Opportunities in Uncertain Times.

Amid economic uncertainties, Deloitte forecasts marketers will experience breakthroughs in tech, increased consumer focus on sustainability and more in 2023 according to annual report.

Amid economic uncertainties, Deloitte forecasts marketers will experience breakthroughs in tech, increased consumer focus on sustainability and more in 2023 according to annual report.

With a new year comes new challenges, but also opportunities as business leaders and marketers set their sights on embracing trends and solutions that can set them up for success. Curated through surveys and in-depth conversations with more than 1,000 C-suite executives, Deloitte’s “2023 Global Marketing Trends” report offers guidance through uncertainties that business leaders may face, while presenting meaningful approaches to consider which may help propel businesses forward. The report focuses on four topics: financial uncertainty, sustainability, creativity and tech trends to watch. Listed are a few key recommendations marketers can consider going into 2023:

  • invest in digital technologies, platforms, new markets and customer personalization.
  • Iimprove sustainability efforts within internal marketing practices and establish long-term commitments.
  • Make more room for creativity by bringing the rest of the organization along for the ride.
  • Consider laying the foundation for metaverse or blockchain adoption.

Why this matters
Amid fluctuating and uncertain economic indicators of 2023, marketers are focusing on investments that can help their organizations be resilient in the face of rapid change. As new platforms disrupt existing digital marketing models and slipping consumer confidence requires focused attention on customer loyalty and innovating new growth opportunities, the “2023 Global Marketing Trends” report offers inspiration and motivation to help bring considerable, creative and lasting impact. Marketers, business leaders and C-suite executives can glean insights from the report as they set their sights on what 2023 holds for the business. The report outlines solutions curated directly from leaders and CMOs alike who have ushered in their thoughts, predictions and guidance to help drive brands forward in an ever-changing world.

Key takeaways

Brands answer economic instability through investment: Brands surveyed continue to reiterate economic instability and inflation as a top concern as in 2023. But, instead of hedging their bets and cutting costs, brands are well-prepared to answer this instability and uncertainty with an investment mindset that grows their organization’s capabilities and capacity to be resilient in the face of rapidly changing economic conditions

Through interviewing, CMOs identified their top-three priorities in the face of a potential economic downturn:

  • Accelerating the move to new digital technologies or platforms (Metaverse, AI, social platforms, AR and digital currencies).
  • Expanding into new markets, segments, or geographies.
  • Implementing systems or algorithms to enhance customer personalization.

CMOs drive growth through internal sustainability efforts: As consumer concerns around sustainability issues grow, surveyed brands are now concentrating their efforts on shoring up their own internal sustainability practices. This inward focus is a strong sign that brands are looking to make a more authentic impact over the longer term in order to build trust with consumers.

Brands reported that their top-three priorities for sustainability efforts this year include:

  • Improving sustainability of internal marketing practices (51%).
  • Promoting more sustainable product and service offerings (47%).
  • Establishing long-term sustainability commitments (eg, “… by 2030, our organization will …”) (45%).

Creativity as a force for growth: As noted in the 2022 “Creative Business Transformation” study, developed in partnership with Deloitte Digital and Cannes LIONS, there is a growing creativity gap through diminishing creative leadership in the C-suite and declining creativity skills among CMOs and their marketing talent. 2023 may present an opportunity for individual brands to rise above the competition by making more room for creativity. Research shows that high-growth brands (defined as those with annual revenue growth of 10% or more) are more likely than their negative-growth peers to have the mindset and processes in place that allow creativity to flourish.

CMOs might consider the following strategies to be the creative leader in their own organization:

  • Redefine what creativity can offer.
  • Bring the rest of the organization along for the ride.
  • Inspire the organization to think differently.

Rising technologies to watch: Marketers are now faced with big decisions about when and how to invest in adopting cutting-edge marketing practices as new technologies take center stage as top trends for marketers to watch.

Marketers cited 2023 top trends by the numbers:

  • Metaverse: About 80% of marketing executives surveyed across the energy, resources, and industrials (ER&I) and life sciences and health care (LS&HC) industries are gravitating toward the metaverse within the next two years.
  • Digital Currencies: 41% of CMOs surveyed plan to support their advertising strategy with blockchain in the next 12 months.

Key quotes
“2023 is set to be a year of disruption resulting in both obstacles and business opportunities being able to use to identify new levers for growth. Given the current economic pressures, CMOs will be asked to do more with less. The challenge is to remain squarely on the path to optimization and outcomes. Deloitte’s ‘2023 Global Marketing Trends’ report presents a comprehensive guide to help position businesses for success in this dynamic year and beyond, informed by strategic insights from business leaders and marketers alike.”
— Suzanne Kounkelchief marketing officer, Deloitte US

“Brands that want to survive and thrive in 2023 will make purposeful investments to connect creativity to brands and marketing performance. We anticipate those that continue to invest in marketing activities and creativity both within and outside of the marketing organization will capitalize on opportunities. Others that vacate the space will likely have to catch up tenfold to get back to where they were before, much less be on the same level as those that nurtured and invested in creativity from the outset.”
— Mark SingerUS chief marketing officer, Deloitte Digital

“In 2023 focus and integrity are key. Consumers can see through unauthentic brands and are compelling brands to live their purpose. As a result, this year, marketers are focused on internal sustainability and inclusion of actions that render tangible impact. Investing in their organization and ensuring the integrity of who they are, what they say and what they do is good for business, good for our communities and good for our planet.”
— Stacy Kempprincipal, Deloitte Consulting LLPhead of Ethos and executive lead of Deloitte’s CMO Program

Methodology
To ensure a globally relevant, cross-topic understanding of marketing and the customer experience, Deloitte conducted two global surveys and 23 in-depth interviews with global executives.

The “2023 Global Marketing Trends” executive survey polled 1,015 C-suite executives from global companies located in the United States (50%), United Kingdom (10%), Switzerland (10%), Japan (10%), the Middle East (10%) and Australia (10%)i in July 2022. The survey respondents included marketing executives holding roles such as chief marketing officer, chief customer officer, chief revenue officer, chief digital officer, chief growth officer, and other related titles and were sampled across a wide range of industries. Each respondent offered their perspective on a variety of topics related to the future of marketing in the coming one to two years.

Separately, 23 executive interviews were conducted during September and October of 2022. These executives are currently serving in marketing executive roles and their insights were a key part of shaping this report.

Meta Offers New Business Certification to Showcase Your Facebook and Instagram Marketing Expertise

Digital marketing agencies take note: Meta has launched a new certification for businesses, which will give you another way to showcase your Meta marketing expertise to prospective clients.

Meta company certifications

The new program aims to highlight businesses whose staff have accumulated a level of knowledge about Meta’s platforms, via its Blueprint training courses.

As explained by Meta:

“A Meta Certified Company is a company or organization that is recognized for their advanced expertise on the Meta Platform. For the first time, we’re offering Certification at the Organizational level, awarded to companies who achieve a threshold of individual Meta Blueprint certifications in specific focus areas.”

As you can see there are five different company certifications available:

  • MetaMedia, Certified Company
  • Meta Marketing Science, Certified Company
  • Meta Creative Strategy, Certified Company
  • Meta Community Management, Certified Company
  • Meta Spark, Certified Company

For each, a percentage of your employees will need to have undertaken the respective Blueprint training, which then enables you to apply for official recognition.

What are those percentages exactly?

Meta company certifications

So at least 20% of your staff have to undertake individual certification courses via Meta’s Blueprint offering. Those courses are free, but taking the certification exams does cost money, so there is a level of business expense involved in the process.

Meta’s Blueprint courses, in general, are not very difficult, although they do give you a good overview of the various elements of Meta’s systems, which Meta clearly thinks is enough to then approve full certification for businesses that reach these benchmarks.

“Once you are confirmed as a Certified Company, you will receive the following: confirmation of your achievement, your credential, guidance on bragging rights, and a trophy to display in your company office.”

A trophy? How about that?

It could be a good way to showcase your Facebook and Instagram marketing expertise, and win more business as a result.

You can apply for Meta’s new company certification here, where you can also find full overviews of the coursework required to meet the above-noted training thresholds. Once your staff has done the courses, you can enter the relevant details and verify their credentials via Meta’s system.

Trendlend: NC State students’ booming new clothing-rental business | culture

The new year brings new occasions that leave many people wondering what to wear. Some students spend their limited time and money searching for the perfect outfit for an event, often leaving the clothes hanging in a closet after its first wear. To offer an alternative, NC State students Amelia Zahn and Emmy Weiland launched their own small business, Trenlendwhere girls can find and rent the perfect dress.

Trendlend differs from other online rental businesses in that it provides a way to try on prospective outfits before purchasing.

Weiland, a third-year studying business marketing, met Zahn last year through mutual friends. Zahn, also a third-year studying marketing, said the two created Trendlend to address a need they saw in their own lives.

“We realized that we hated paying for dresses,” Zahn said. “We had events every week or every other week, and it was just getting so expensive. And so we were like, ‘what if we start renting out the dresses we already own?’”

After announcing their launch in February 2022, the two originally rented dresses out of the NC State sorority houses. With inventory gathered from other girls on campus, Zahn said the work she and Weiland did together continued to grow as their business took off.

“We’d handle try-ons, cleaning, getting the dresses to and from people and would only take 15% of the rental fee,” Zahn said. “We grew to almost 500 dresses in about six to seven months, so it became a lot for us to handle. We realized that the business was growing, and we just weren’t making enough money off of taking 15% profit from other people’s rentals.”

Considering their growing responsibilities, the two entrepreneurs redid their business model to better accommodate the growth of their company. Now, with almost 2,000 followers on Instagram, Zahn and Weiland own their entire inventory and are working out of a warehouse.

With such unexpected growth, social media engagement is one of the many important factors for monitoring and advancing their online business. That, coupled with a growing confidence in their ability to start a business, is what Weiland credits to Trendlend’s increasing success.

“We’re definitely rapidly increasing our engagement,” Weiland said. “I would also say the technological advancements we’re making [have helped Trenlend to grow]. We just announced our website. … Also internal growth, we’re becoming more confident in ourselves. And knowing we can do this, that we can make this happen is also a huge thing.”

For any student, juggling a social life with academics alone can seem overwhelming. Weiland describes how they manage their business alongside the other responsibilities of college life.

“It’s definitely very difficult,” Weiland said. “But I am a huge planner. I cannot have chaos in my life. And so I always have a very set [schedule]. This is what I’m going to do for school, this is what I’m going to dedicate to Trenlend. We’re also in the same classes together, so we’re helping each other out constantly.”

While Zahn and Weiland both have customer service experience from working in boutiques in the past, the two hope to commit to their business full time post-graduation. Their five-year plan consisted of eventually opening a storefront and franchising to other college campuses in larger cities.

For now, their warehouse not only stores their inventory, but also acts as their site for try-ons. Zahn said this process has evolved over the past year.

“We’re doing 11-6 on Tuesdays [for try-on times],” Zahn said. “We used to run it out of our house, when we had all 500 dresses… and we used to not even have appointments. You could just come anytime between 11 and six, and you could pick out any dresses you wanted to try on and try them on.”

Now with a larger inventory, free try-ons are being conducted via 30-minute appointments at the warehouse. People can rent as soon as they’re aware of the dates they need it and keep it for up to four days. This process is essential to Zahn and Weiland’s brand.

“80% of our customers that we had in the fall said they would not have rented from us if they were not able to try on the dress first,” Zahn said. “I think that was just such an important number for us so that we realized that people really do want to be confident about their purchases before they actually commit financially to that rental.”

This type of reflection has allowed the two to consider other ways they hope to expand their business, including growing their consumer base and expanding the inclusivity of the dress sizes they offer.

As a new and growing business started on NC State’s campus, Zahn and Weiland credit a large amount of their success and support to the community of their peers. Beyond the recent creative team consisting of volunteers who hope to support their company, the two have had positive feedback and experiences from students and professors alike.

“One thing I’ve been so amazed by is [how supportive] the NC State community has been for us,” Zahn said. “We’ve had students from all over the place who have come to us and supported us, giving us ideas. And even professors reaching out with financial advice, accounting advice, marketing advice, anything of that sort. They have just been so positive … so supportive of everything we do.”

Considering their journey, Zahn and Weiland both encourage others who are interested in starting a business to do so, especially with the resources at NC State that they describe as essential to their success.

“Honestly, I don’t know if we would have been as successful if we hadn’t started this with having the NC State community as our backbone and making those connections,” Zahn said. “If [other students] have that idea of ​​having a small business, [they should] start it now because I do think that this is the time in our lives where we’ll have the most resources available to us. That’s the one thing I don’t think we realized getting into it — what was going to be available to us. And so that’s been the best, the most pleasant surprise for us.”

Beyond their company website, Trendend can also be found on Instagram.

Lemons – Nutritional Value And Benefits


Yellow and juicy, with sometimes sour and sometimes bitter-sweet taste, fresh aroma and amazing properties. Lemon, the fruit of the citrus family, is associated with many different uses in our everyday life, because it is not only used for cooking and desserts, but also as a disinfectant-cleanser, as an aromatic ingredient in beauty products and perfumes, and also as a therapeutic medicine. But are they really as beneficial as they are touted? The answer is yes and a lot of them.

The widespread use of lemons has led to confusion about their nutritional value, with many wellness techniques circulating around them, often without proper claims or recommendations. Below are the four most frequently asked questions about lemons with the best possible answer, according to nutritionists.

Four frequently asked questions about lemons

1. Is lemon water any good after all?

Adding lemon to water is a healthy way to flavor it without adding calories. It’s also a good reason to get a small amount of vitamin C and calcium when you drink lemon water.

2. Can consumption of lemon reduce belly fat?

Just like other fruits, lemons are a very good source of nutrients with very few calories. However, there is no solid evidence that lemons can help you lose weight or reduce belly fat.

3. Do lemons lower blood pressure?

Although it is not clear whether eating lemons directly lowers high blood pressure, previous research has found that people who regularly eat lemons and take daily walks have lower systolic blood pressure.

4. How long does it take to detoxify the body with lemon water?

Lemon has a reputation as a super detox ingredient, but studies do not exactly support that conclusion. It’s important to remember that plain water – without lemon – is enough to naturally flush toxins from the body while promoting better digestion, hydration and kidney function.

5. What is the nutritional value of lemons?

According to the USDA, one lemon contains:

  • Calories: 18.8
  • Protein: 0.72 grams
  • Fats: 0.2 grams
  • Carbohydrates: 0.5 grams
  • Dietary fiber: 1.8 grams
  • Sugar: 1.6 grams
  • Calcium: 16.9 grams
  • Iron: 0.39 milligrams
  • Potassium: 89.7 milligrams
  • Sodium: 1.3 milligrams
  • Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, folic acid and magnesium, which provide the body with sufficient amounts of these minerals needed daily.

6. What are the main benefits they offer the body?

They contribute to better immune function

As one clinical report explains, the vitamin C that is abundant in lemons can boost immune function, reduce inflammation and possibly help fight infections.

They protect against the onset of chronic diseases

According to the National Institutes of Health, getting enough vitamin C by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. The vitamin C in foods like lemons is thought to reduce oxidative damage throughout the body.

They prevent the occurrence of kidney stones

Kidney stones are made up of calcium, uric acid and oxalate, according to the Mayo Clinic . These start as fragments and then can grow into painful stones. Lemons could potentially prevent kidney stones because they contain citric acid, which binds calcium. According to Harvard Health, 80 to 85 percent of kidney stones are made up of calcium.

Advert infinitum: corporations to unleash a deluge of digital advertising

Is there wherever you will not quickly be assaulted by digital promoting?

Uber this week revealed that it’s about to serve up “journey advertisements” if you hail a experience — business messages linked to your vacation spot that seem in your cellphone, and perhaps in future on a display behind the automotive. About to take a global flight? An obligation-free retailer can sponsor your total journey to the airport.

In the meantime, Netflix has simply set early November for the launch of its new promoting tier, a reduced-price streaming service in 12 international locations for folks prepared to take a seat by way of a mean of 5 advertisements an hour. True, that is an non-obligatory new service, so nobody will probably be compelled to observe promoting — however because the financial downturn bites, it could be the one real looking manner for many individuals to maintain streaming.

Uber and Netflix are removed from the one ones to latch on to promoting as a brand new income. Supply apps, ecommerce marketplaces, mass market retailers, gaming companies: it appears nowhere as of late is commercial-free.

There are apparent causes for this stampede into the digital advertisements enterprise. When viewers consideration shifts wholesale to new companies and channels, promoting {dollars} positively observe. The rise of streaming represents a critical risk to the linear TV mannequin that also accounts for nearly the entire $170bn in world TV promoting annually.

Excessive-margin promoting {dollars}, euros and kilos are additionally gravy for corporations in industries the place revenue margins are skinny or non-existent. For a lossmaking supply app like DoorDash, which dealt with $13bn price of orders within the newest quarter, channeling a lot shopping for energy creates an apparent alternative. Apps like this are in an ideal place to step in entrance of shops and eating places to recommend issues their customers would possibly wish to purchase.

Retail media networks are additionally beginning to take off, as retailers like Walmart and Goal gather precious information about buyers’ habits that advertisers can use to hone their campaigns, both on the retailers’ personal websites or on different networks. Walmart disclosed the scale of its promoting enterprise for the primary time earlier this yr, with 2021 income of $2.1bn.

But when there are good causes for these and different corporations to show to promoting, there may be one overriding issue that’s driving the shift: the unmet calls for of advertisers. Among the concentrating on strategies which have formed the digital promoting business for its total historical past are breaking down.

Apple’s resolution to let its customers select in the event that they wish to be tracked has been a seismic occasion, robbing advertisers of precious information. The second shoe to drop will probably be Google’s long-delayed plan to finish help for cookies in its Chrome browser, pulling away the principle help for behavioral concentrating on.

That is beginning to shake the duopoly that has dominated the digital promoting world for the previous 15 years. Google and Meta generated a mixed $325bn of promoting income final yr, an enormous slice of a complete market that Zenith media put at $405bn.

The seek for new types of concentrating on means any enterprise with a major reserve of first social gathering information — details about its personal prospects that may be freely used for honoring promoting — could possibly be well-placed. As promoting analyst Eric Seufert places it: as of late, the whole lot’s an advert community.

Netflix, for one, has comparatively little perception into its customers, and can solely require folks signing up or its ad-supported tier to supply some primary private data. However there’ll nonetheless be methods to reinforce this, based on Chad Engelgau, CEO of information broking firm Acxiom: Advertisers will be capable to carry their very own information to bear as properly, refining their understanding of viewers.

On this new world, the businesses with one of the best information and the largest audiences and consumer bases ought to win. Apple, which is benefiting from the shifting demand for cell promoting created by its privateness modifications to broaden its personal promoting enterprise, has greater than 1bn iPhone customers. Amazon’s perception into the shopping for histories and intentions of its customers has already enabled it to construct an promoting enterprise that pulled in $31.2bn final yr.

These giants will probably be within the strongest place to tackle Google and Fb. However there are a lot of behind them for whom promoting is about to turn out to be a critical income stream. Regardless of the subsequent 15 years within the promoting enterprise appears like, it will not be just like the final 15.
