The Power Behind the Brand: Rethinking Influence in Fashion & Beauty with Alison Bringé

Influence drives the fashion and beauty industries, but are we measuring it in the right way?

In this episode, I speak with Alison Bringé, Chief Marketing Officer at Launchmetrics, about the real power of celebrity and influencer partnerships. From red carpet moments to viral TikTok clips, these are the moves that shape brand perception and sales. But behind the buzzwords and paid fame lies a deeper question: how do we actually qualify influence?

We discuss the murky history of measuring press impact and reach, and Launchmetrics’ Media Impact Value (MIV®) that help brands quantify the true value of visibility across print, social and online. Alison also shares her views on what makes a great brand moment, how brands get it wrong, and why understanding context is just as important as counting clicks.

·         Upcoming Webinar on Qualitative Metrics
