October 2, 2023

The Back-to-School season just ended. It is one the busiest and most crowded marketing periods of the year.

Because so many brands are competing for shopper attention at the same time, it can be difficult and costly for brands to stand out.

During this, Back-to-School season SheSpeaks clients used influencer marketing to break through the marketing clutter and capture awareness and sales for their products.

Success with influencer marketing requires smart selection of influencers and great content to support product key messaging.
