Leveraging Influencer Marketing for Small Businesses

In today’s fast-paced digital world, small businesses in Australia face the challenge of getting noticed and connecting with their audience. But, there’s a strong solution – using influencer marketing. I’ve seen firsthand how working with the right influencers can boost a small business’s growth and visibility1. Influencer marketing means teaming up with people who have a big and loyal following…

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, the phenomenon of influencer marketing has emerged as a formidable force, redefining the way brands connect with their audiences. At its core, influencer marketing harnesses the inherent power of relatability and authenticity, leveraging individuals who have established trust and credibility within specific niches or communities. This dynamic approach transforms traditional advertising narratives, replacing them with genuine and personal endorsements that resonate deeply with consumers.

Something I encounter more and more in fiction is a specific brand of assurance to the reader that I can only ascribe to The Twitter Cop That Lives In Our Heads. There's a pervasive desire to make it clear that, see, I'm intersectional, I'm conscious of the potential problematics of this encounter, I'm one of the good ones, and it's not that I don't understand the impulse and the fear of being called out because I do! It's scary out there! But it is often so grating to be reading a novel and have a conversation be derailed by a brief and pointed exchange about accessibility when not a single character in the book is disabled, or to have a heated makeout sesh interrupted by an explanation of the traffic light system, and the sad thing about this is that it would be absolutely possible to show these things in elegant and unobtrusive ways but for various reasons we are resorting to telling instead.

I know that out here in the world, we talk about enthusiastic and informed consent a lot, and those are very important conversations and this topic should be part of comprehensive and widely accessible sex education everywhere, and if you are entering into a relationship with a new partner, you should probably sit down and lay out explicitly what you are both comfortable with and how you prefer to communicate. HOWEVER. I, the reader of a high-heat contemporary romance novel, do not need to have this discussion with the characters who are about to fuck each other blind after their first date. I do not need to sit in on the equivalent to a new employee's onboarding process where they get told how to use the company intranet. It's boring! It's so dull! Instead, how about we package the information that is actually being transmitted (we are two enthusiastic partners about to fuck each other blind and we are also sensible people who respect each other's preferences and boundaries) in a way that doesn't disrupt the narrative momentum? Maybe interject an "is this okay?" or have one character go "tell me what you want" all sexily. Reference the characters taking note of their partner's reactions. There are a lot of ways to work this kind of Statement of Ethics into your writing, whether it's about sex scenes or trans rights or whatever, and personally I find this much more compelling than a neatly-injected soundbite which always comes off as either overly anxious or performative to me.

A secondary issue here, in my opinion, is that the world (specifically social media, but social media is part of the world) increasingly demands explicit statements from artists and uses an absence of "I wholeheartedly condemn x"-type quotes as an indication that someone actively endorses x, because why wouldn't they say so otherwise? This is bad. It's a bad development. It's a really gross combination of the literacy crisis and callout culture and it gets people hurt. So I really do not and cannot blame writers who feel the need to be very explicit about what they believe in, which is why I am not suggesting that you shouldn't include those beliefs in your work; what I am saying, though, is that your work will be much more authentic and touching if you find ways to show me.

Charlastor Week - Day 7 - Free Day

 An AU where Charlie and Alastor are podcasters. 🎙️ This one has been percolating in my brain for a while! Plot summary under the cut.

Alastor is the OG overlord of true crime. Back in his college days, he and his roommate Vox started what would become one of the first ever podcasts. With Vox’s tech savviness and Alastor’s knack for dramatic storytelling, The Hazbin Radio Program quickly became the podcast playing in every commuter’s car, gym bro’s headphones, and office jockey’s earbuds. Focusing on crimes where the victim “deserved what they got” might be controversial, but Alastor’s jazzy interludes and old timey radio schtick add a certain kind of whimsy to every episode.

As Vox grew their dorm room recordings into a digital media empire, Alastor struggled to remain authentic in a world being rapidly consumed by social media and influencer culture. The two friends had a huge falling out. Knowing it would mean death for his beloved radio program if he didn’t stay, Alastor remained under contract with Voxtek Entertainment. Years later, his listenership is dwindling, his sponsors are dropping like flies, and his desperation is stronger than ever to finally break away and have complete creative control of his show.

Charlie has big dreams, a bigger heart, and a behemoth of a family legacy she’s trying to separate herself from. The Morningstar family name is synonymous with pain and punishment, as their network of for-profit prisons house nearly every incarcerated individual in the country. But Charlie refuses to let her rich and influential father buy her way into the industry. The Happy Podcast’s moderate success was due to her hard work, passion, and the secondhand recording equipment she bought with her own money. Like every amateur influencer, she dreams of landing a contract with VoxTek Entertainment. Not for the bragging rights or all those sweet endorsement deals, but because she truly believes that her podcast can inspire her listeners to be better people.

The Happy Podcast is a mix of self-help, advocacy, social commentary, and whatever else Charlie feels passionate about that week. This can sometimes cause a bit of controversy, like when her strong feelings about prison reform lead to an unhinged rant about why a recently imprisoned axe murderer “deserves a second chance” because “he was a good guy who volunteered at his local animal shelter”. Despite this, she still snags an invite to the annual VTE Summit and is hoping to get some facetime with the media mogul himself.

It’s at the VTE Summit that Alastor and Charlie meet. Charlie is as starstruck as she is charmed by the mystery man behind her favorite guilty pleasure podcast. Alastor finds himself instantly drawn to the bubbly young woman who knows a surprising amount about true crime. In a cesspool of wannabe celebrities and people who would sell their soul for a brand deal, she feels like the only other person who’s in it for the craft and the content, not the clout.

Be it fate, coincidence, or a bit of meddling on Alastor’s part, they continue to cross paths and eventually agree to help each other out. Alastor teaches Charlie the art of presentation and storytelling while she brings his technical skills into the 21st century so he can start producing his podcast on his own.

As the pair dance around their feelings and look for any excuse to spend time with each other, Charlie asks Alastor to be a guest on her show. It goes so well, he asks her to be a guest on his. Even their audiences can’t deny the chemistry between them. No one would have thought this odd pair of podcasts would work so well together, but the sky-rocketed ratings and influx of sponsorships speak for themselves.

They both are soon to get everything they always wanted. That is, until Charlie starts to wonder exactly how Alastor knows so much about the victims he discusses on his show.

The telling hashtag

So S is willfully disclosing his LHR location, with a story and a post to boot, as expected:

📌at Bourne Offices, 11 Richmond Buildings, in Soho:

Literally round the corner from Soho House, on Dean Street. Of course:

Also, this - very telling:

#gifted. Before *urv starts her demented Fitness at Dawn - The London Hyrox Edition fanfic, let's unpack:

S chose to wear, in this post, one of the sunglasses models from David Beckham's eyewear collection. Price tag is a bit steep (twice my Ray-Ban Wayfarers), but still democratic:

But why the #gifted hashtag? Before you think C or Scottish Xena lovingly picked those up the shelf for his birthday, you might like to check a bit around for context. You see, all dbeyewear collections are manufactured by a single Italian producer based in Padua, Safilo Group. Hashtagged accordingly in his post, by the way.

A couple of days ago, Safilo Group and dbeyewear's commercial partnership reached a new, very important milestone:

[Source: Safilo Group press release, https://assets.ctfassets.net/cmstik7jzbvm/2lwJmoKJR7x3ydijfpi7c6/9870e11fbb2c040a89a6d8acb4ed25ea/20240502_Safilo_firma_un_accordo_di_licenza_perpetua_per_l-eyewear_di_David_Beckham.pdf]

On May 2nd, Safilo Group and Authentic Brands Group (ABG), the corporate side of Eyewear by David Beckham signed a 'perpetual licensing agreement, replacing the current one that would have ended in 2030'. Authentic Brands Group and Safilo Group have been working together since 2019, when Beckham started to design his own eyewear collection. Now, they are taking their collaboration one step further, with ABG (or the licensor) granting Safilo Group (the licensee) perpetual (unlikely to be retired, unless something goes really, awfully wrong along the way: breach of contract, etc.) exclusive right to produce, use, advertise, sell its merchandise.

Something like this needs proper promotion, so Safilo Group and/or ABG graciously sent S those sunglasses, in the hope he will sport them in one of his posts with a potential 3+ million subscriber views.

A word on the UK pretty obscure regulations on promoter advertising and the use of the #gifted hashtag. There is not one, but two competent national regulatory authorities: the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The ASA is a bit more lenient in its approach and they clearly say that if the promoted product has been sent to the influencer on a no strings attached basis, then it is ok to use that #gifted hashtag. They will not pursue, based on the lack of #ad, however they will name and shame you - not a pretty picture, after all:

[Source, heh: ASA's Influencer Guide to making clear that ads are ads, https://www.asa.org.uk/static/uploaded/3af39c72-76e1-4a59-b2b47e81a034cd1d.pdf]

But the CMA is way more vigilant. They consider that any freebie can and must be monetized, based on its retail value and as such, must be clearly labeled as an #ad, when promoted on socials by an influencer. And yes, they can and might pursue, at any given moment: that must be proportional with the offence and in S's case, it might simply mean being served with a cease and desist notice or a removal and prohibition order. I'd rather not be in those shoes, mind you:

[Source: CMA's guide Hidden ads: Being clear with your audience, 2022; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-media-endorsements-guide-for-influencers/social-media-endorsements-being-transparent-with-your-followers]

If he wants no further headaches, he should simply edit that post and add the right hashtag. It will be interesting to see if and when he will do it.

As for Fitness at Dawn, well... not even sorry.

Gracias a ti, ❤️. Siempre.

Queer Fiction Free-for-All Book Bracket Tournament: Round 1B

Book summaries and submitted endorsements below:

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle.... But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself. Felix Ever After is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve.

Winging It by Ashlyn Kane and Morgan James (Hockey Ever After #1)

Endorsement from submitter: "First book of a loosely connected mlm hockey romance series. Humourous, with characters that feel incredibly real and have various relationships with their queer identities. The struggles are relatable and the communication issues very authentic. The first book is a slow burn friends to lovers. Dante Baltierra is such a gun character and his recurrence through the series is perfect."

Gabe Martin has a simple life plan: get into the NHL and win the Stanley Cup. It doesn’t include being the first out hockey player or, worse, getting involved with one of his teammates. But things change. Dante Baltierra is Gabe’s polar opposite—careless, reckless… shameless. But his dedication to the sport is impressive, and Gabe can overlook a lot of young-and-stupid in the name of great hockey. And Dante has a superlative ass in a sport filled with superlative asses. Before Gabe can figure out how to deal, a tabloid throws him out of his comfortable closet into a brand-new world. Amid the emotional turmoil of invasive questions, nasty speculation, and on- and off-ice homophobia, his game suffers. Surprisingly, it’s Dante who drags him out of it—and then drags him into something else. Nothing good can come of secretly sleeping with a teammate, especially one Gabe has feelings for. But with their captain out with an injury, a rookie in perpetual need of a hug, and the race to make the playoffs for the first time since 1995, Gabe has a lot on his plate. He can’t be blamed for forgetting that nothing stays secret forever.

Nice dinner party. Great ambiance, jazz trio, gorgeous women and powerful men. But, let me ask you this, person to person, as we sit down to sup . . .

Was this delightful capellini finished with "Brand X" clam oil?

Because, friend, if you cheaped out on the clam oil, then buddy, you're missing the point

Thankfully, I brought a flask of my own. Top shelf, the best there's ever been.

Regis Philbin's very own REGIS PHILBIN'S AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CLAM OIL. And before you interrupt me to ask, yes, friend: it's "Italian-style." Frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Take a sip, and let's pass it around the table.

See, Regis Philbin was content with life. He was a man of influence, power. He alone decided who lived and who died within a beautiful system of machinery. His body glistened in the Santa Monica sunrise. But, like all men do, he sought something greater.

A few phone calls later, and Regis was talking to the Pope, his Holiness.

"Pope, listen," Regis said, with candor and excitement. "We're gonna shake up the stodgy clam oil market. We're gonna take it back to the way things used to be, Papa."

"Holy moly," said the Pontiff, saluting everything Regis was running up the flag pole.

A few months later, the finished product was unveiled to a municipal gymnasium of earthquake survivors. "The rich velvet of the clam stands in playful contrast to everything I THOUGHT I knew about Italian-Style Italian Clam Oil!" said a grieving mother who just hours prior had lost her only Nintendo.

So, listen, friend: next time you hold a little get-together? A little congregation? A little State dinner? A little shindig? A little Tweetup? A little funeral? A little fistfight? A little soiree? A little cult orgy? A little board game night? A little solstice? Make sure not to humiliate yourself, and spring for the bottle made by Regis, endorsed by the Church, and individually kissed by Madam Wolverine herself.

Now let's all raise a bucket of the good stuff (clam oil) and cheers our imperfect host as we celebrate Regis Weekend being extended through and including the day of Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

If an actor fails to maintain a PR relationship properly and fans catch their lies, several things can happen, both professionally and personally. The consequences can vary depending on the severity of the situation, the actor’s public image, and how they handle the fallout. Here are some possible outcomes:

1. Damage to Public Image:

Loss of Trust: Fans, who often feel a deep connection to celebrities, can feel betrayed if they discover that an actor’s public relationship is based on lies or deceit. This can lead to a loss of trust, which may be difficult to rebuild. People may start questioning the actor’s authenticity, both professionally and personally.

Reputation Impact: The actor’s reputation can take a significant hit, especially if the lies are exposed in a very public way. Hollywood is heavily driven by public perception, and any scandal can lead to negative press, which can harm the actor's career and opportunities.

Public Backlash: The actor may face backlash from fans, media outlets, and even other celebrities. This can manifest in negative headlines, social media criticism, or public statements from industry professionals expressing disappointment or disapproval.

2. Career Setbacks:

Loss of Opportunities: If the PR marriage was tied to promoting a project (like a movie or endorsement), the actor might lose opportunities or suffer a dip in career momentum. Hollywood relies on public relations and media image, so being caught in a lie can make producers, directors, and brands hesitant to work with the actor in the future.

Brand Deals and Endorsements: Brands and companies that have partnered with the actor for sponsorship or endorsements may cut ties if they feel the actor’s image no longer aligns with their values. Companies often shy away from controversy, and a scandal surrounding an actor’s personal life can negatively affect their marketability.

PR Management: The actor’s management team may have to work overtime to salvage the situation, which could involve more damage control and crisis management. Sometimes, the actor might be advised to take a step back from the public eye until the issue dies down.

3. Personal Fallout:

Emotional and Psychological Impact: The actor may feel stressed, anxious, or even depressed due to the backlash. Being caught in a lie, especially about something as personal as a relationship, can take an emotional toll. This might lead to feelings of shame, guilt, or even anger at themselves or others involved in the PR strategy.

Impact on Personal Relationships: The public exposure of a PR marriage’s falsehoods can also affect personal relationships. Friends, family, or even romantic partners (if they were not involved in the PR arrangement) might feel hurt or betrayed by the actor’s actions. In some cases, personal relationships may deteriorate as a result.

4. Media Scrutiny:

Intense Media Attention: If fans catch the lie and the media picks up on it, the actor will likely be subjected to even more intense scrutiny. The media may sensationalize the situation, and the actor’s every move could be dissected by tabloids and news outlets. This can exacerbate the situation and prolong the negative attention.

More Lies to Cover the First: In some cases, if the actor tries to cover up the lie with more lies, it can lead to a deeper spiral. Fans and the media will likely catch on to inconsistencies, and the actor could face even more severe criticism.

5. Public Apology:

Damage Control: To try to repair their image, the actor might be forced to make a public apology. While an apology can help in some cases, it doesn’t always completely restore the actor’s reputation. Fans might feel that the apology is insincere or that the damage has already been done.

Changing the Narrative: The actor may try to reframe the situation or move on from it by focusing on new projects or taking a break from the public eye. However, this strategy may not work if the public continues to view the actor’s actions as dishonest.

6. Relationship Breakdown:

End of the PR Relationship: If the lies or discrepancies are severe, it might lead to the end of the PR marriage or relationship. Since PR marriages are often based on mutual benefits, if one party (or both) feels like the relationship is no longer helping their career or public image, they might end it.

Damage to the Partner’s Reputation: If the actor’s partner in the PR marriage is also a celebrity, their reputation may also be affected by the fallout. Both individuals may suffer if the public sees them as dishonest or manipulative.

7. Loss of Fanbase:

Disillusionment: Fans may feel disillusioned or betrayed by the actor’s actions. In some cases, this could lead to unsubscribing from the actor’s social media or even publicly voicing their disappointment. The actor’s fanbase, which is often crucial to their success, might shrink significantly, and it may take time to rebuild trust.

Support from Other Fans: On the flip side, some fans might support the actor, especially if they feel the situation was exaggerated or misunderstood. However, this group may be much smaller than those who feel betrayed.

8. Legal Consequences:

Breach of Contract: In some cases, if the PR marriage was part of a contractual obligation with an agency, production company, or sponsor, failing to maintain the image could result in breach of contract claims. This could lead to legal actions or a financial settlement.

Defamation Claims: If the PR marriage's failure involves accusations of lying or manipulating fans, there could be potential defamation claims, especially if other individuals or companies involved in the PR marriage decide to pursue legal action for damage to their reputation.

Conclusion:

When an actor fails to maintain a PR marriage and fans catch their lies, the fallout can be significant, leading to damage to their career, personal distress, and negative public perception. The actor may face backlash from fans, the media, and even colleagues in the industry. In some cases, the actor may be forced to apologize, but repairing the damage to their reputation can be challenging. The consequences will depend on how seriously the situation is taken by the public and how the actor and their team handle the crisis.

Michael Esposito Staten Island - Influencer Marketing Strategies for Explosive Brand Influence and Business Growth

The advent of the digital age has introduced a fresh phase of consumer behavior. Gone are the days of blind trust in traditional advertising. Today's savvy audiences crave authenticity, connection, and recommendations from trusted voices. This is where influencer marketing steps onto the stage, offering a potent blend of brand storytelling and audience engagement. Michael Esposito Staten Island - Mastering Influencer Marketing for Effective Brand Influence demonstrates how this approach can be leveraged to achieve remarkable results.

However, navigating the vast influencer landscape can feel like wandering through a social media jungle. Fear not, intrepid marketer! By wielding the following strategies, you can craft an influencer marketing campaign that ignites brand influence and propels your business towards exponential growth.

Know Your Audience: Precision Over Popularity

The initial step involves discarding the mindset that favors larger sizes as inherently better. Despite the substantial followings of mega-influencers, their ability to reach a specific audience may not be as effective as that of carefully chosen micro-influencers. Research conducted by Socialbakers demonstrates that micro-influencers (typically with 10,000 to 50,000 followers) frequently achieve engagement rates that surpass those of mega-influencers by sixfold. Here's why:

Niche Expertise: Micro-influencers tend to cultivate deep connections with their followers, fostering a sense of community and trust built around a specific niche. Partnering with micro-influencers within your target demographic allows you to tap into a highly engaged audience already receptive to your brand message.

Authentic Advocacy: Forget robotic endorsements. Micro-influencers are often passionate about the industries they represent, making their content feel genuine and relatable. This authenticity resonates with audiences who yearn for real connections and honest recommendations.

Embrace the Power of Storytelling: Content is King (and Queen)

Effective influencer marketing goes beyond product placement. It's about weaving brand narratives into the fabric of the influencer's content. Here's how to unlock the power of storytelling:

Collaborative Content Creation: Don't dictate; collaborate. Work with influencers to understand their content style and create campaigns that feel organic within their feed. This ensures brand messaging resonates seamlessly without compromising the influencer's voice or authenticity.

Interactive Experiences: Move beyond static images. Leverage the power of interactive formats like live streams, Q&A sessions, and interactive polls to foster real-time engagement with your target audience. Encourage user-generated content (UGC) that furthers the brand narrative and fosters a sense of community around your brand.

Data-Driven Content Strategy: Don't be afraid to experiment. Track what resonates best with your target audience by analyzing engagement metrics across different content formats. Use this data to refine your influencer selection process and create future content that sparks conversations and drives action.

Harness the Power of Social Listening: Identify Your Brand Advocates

Social listening tools offer a goldmine of insights to identify potential influencer partners. These platforms allow you to monitor conversations within your industry and identify individuals who are already organically discussing products or services relevant to your brand. Look for voices generating positive buzz and engaging their audience with informative and engaging content. This approach allows you to:

Discover Untapped Gems: Unearth passionate advocates who may not yet be on your radar. These individuals already possess brand affinity and their genuine enthusiasm has the power to resonate deeply with your target audience.

Understand Influencer Performance: Analyze the types of content and messaging that resonate with audiences within your target demographic. This can help you curate collaborations that are more likely to generate positive sentiment and drive conversions.

Measure and Adapt: Refining Your Influencer Marketing Strategy

Don't think of an influencer marketing campaign as a one-shot deal. It's more like a strategic partnership that needs continuous optimization. Track key metrics across all platforms, including:

Engagement Rates: Measure likes, comments, shares, and saves to gauge audience interaction with the influencer's content.

Website Traffic: Track how many visitors are directed to your website through the influencer's channels.

Conversion Rates: Analyze how many visitors take action on your website, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter.

By analyzing these metrics, you can:

Refine Influencer Selection: Identify influencers who consistently deliver the strongest results for your brand.

Optimize Content Strategy: Learn what types of content resonate most with your target audience.

Adapt Campaign Goals: Refine your goals based on the campaign's performance and adjust your strategy for future collaborations.

Finally, influencer marketing stands as a formidable strategy for brands to cultivate brand influence and drive business growth in the digital age. By embracing effective strategies, nurturing authentic partnerships, and adapting to evolving trends and technologies, brands can harness the full potential of influencer marketing to propel their influence and achieve sustained business growth. Michael Esposito Staten Island: Harnessing Influencer Marketing for Business Growth provides valuable insights into how brands can successfully leverage this approach. As the influencer marketing landscape continues to evolve, staying abreast of emerging strategies and technological advancements will be pivotal for brands aiming to elevate their influence and drive exponential business growth.

In summary, influencer marketing strategies play a pivotal role in shaping brand influence and driving business growth, offering brands a compelling avenue to resonate with their audience, foster credibility, and achieve sustained success in the competitive digital landscape.

Hi! First of all, I love ur blog it’s one of my favourites and I really appreciate your nuanced takes and the research you put in to your answers. :)

I wanted to ask you — I read today that EPE didn’t allow Sofia Coppola to use any of Elvis’ music in her movie. I figured he wouldn’t be depicted very positively in it but I kinda hoped it would be a realistic and human depiction of both of them, not like sort of a condemning ‘he’s the villain of their story’ vibe lol. I guess we still won’t know until it comes out… Anyway it got me feeling like perhaps the depiction will be more negative, but maybe EPE just didn’t consent to his music being used because they weren’t included in the movie. Hard to know. Wanted to ask for your thoughts/take on it.

Also, what do you think Lisa would think about this movie being made?

this just made my day 😭, you are the sweetest <3!! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to show your appreciation, it truly means the world to me that you get something positive out of my posts

also thank you very much for the ask, I really love to be able to have open discussions on here with fellow Elvis fans, especially regarding all the recent events that are taking place 🤧

as for your question, according to the latest interview with Sofia Coppola and Priscilla Presley, it was “Authentic Brands Group” (who owns 85% of EPE) that denied the request to have Elvis’ music featured in the film. As Sofia tells it, it was because ABG only endorse projects that they have originated as they are protective of their brand ⬇️

(quote from the “Hollywood Reporter”)

so I don’t think Elvis’ music not being in the film is indicative of how he will be portrayed, the decision seems more business based than anything else (hopefully 😭). I’m also wondering if this was a funding issue as this film doesn’t seem to have had the biggest budget (they only had 30 days to shoot) and I would assume the rights to use Elvis’ music would be rather costly 👀

as for how Elvis will be depicted… I think I speak for many other fans when I say when this movie was first announced my heart sank 🤧 the 2022 film accomplished so many amazing things for Elvis and his legacy and I think we all felt like this Priscilla movie would jeopardize that. But this recent interview with Priscilla, along with the film’s official synopsis, has given me more hope that this movie will be more nuanced

Priscilla telling Cailee Spaeny, the actress portraying her, to be sensitive towards Elvis honestly made me breathe a sigh of relief 😩

(quote from the “Hollywood Reporter”)

But I think the reason so many fans are still currently dreading this film and biting their nails over the release of it is because of the reception it has received online… particularly by non-Elvis fans

if you have Instagram or Twitter (especially) you know what I mean 😭

people are literally praising Sofia Coppola (even Priscilla) because they think this film is going to be a hit piece against Elvis and will expose how he “groomed” and “abused” her

I can almost guarantee these people and anyone else who have made similar comments have never even read Priscilla’s book, or have ever read about Elvis besides what they see on social media through things like twitter threads on how he was a “predator” or how he “stole” music from black musicians

their dedication to believing whatever they see written about him just proves their ignorance to me. If they haven’t taken the time to research the claims made about him then I just disregard their opinion🤧 I’ve really struggled with disengaging from people who hate Elvis but I’ve begun to learn that nothing we say as fans will change their opinion of him, and no matter what they say, it cannot change who we know he really was

and whenever I do see these people reference Priscilla’s book I’m like… did we read the same book? did y’all not see how 90-95% percent of that book praised who Elvis was? and do y’all not see how Priscilla still defends his actions to this day and says things like “he was the love of my life”? I’m just confused as to why these people think Priscilla wants Elvis to be “exposed” 😭

and like the majority of people who have written about Elvis, Priscilla’s book has the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I expect the film to be that way as well. However, I hope the good completely outweighs “the bad” and “the ugly” just as much as it did in Priscilla’s book

People always hyper-inflate the “bad” stories (of which there are very few) that are mentioned in Priscilla’s book. For example the story where when they were pillow fighting he accidentally gave her a black eye, which is also referenced now as proof that he “abused” her. But they won’t mention how Elvis profusely apologized and felt incredibly guilty, nor do they mention how Priscilla blamed the pills they were taking for Elvis’ temper in that moment, as opposed to Elvis himself

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

I feel like a lot of anger has been misdirected towards Priscilla lately regarding stories like this but in all honesty you cannot blame her for people taking what she wrote out of context. I’ve seen some fans say that she is only out to make Elvis look bad but she very clearly states he was remorseful for the incident

Like I mentioned above, I think 90-95% of her book puts Elvis in a good light, and shows how truly good his character was

One of my personal favorite stories is the lasagna incident, where Priscilla insisted on cooking for the whole group and in her nerves for proving that she could do such a thing, she forgot to boil the noodles before assembling the dish 💀

and this story is just one out of dozens that show how sensitive Elvis was to Priscilla

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

not to mention the very last paragraph of her book where she has nothing but good things to say about him… yet people who hate Elvis think this film, that is based on her book, will be out to “expose” him 😩?

(excerpt from “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley)

obviously we can only really speculate on what the film will be like but I’m just hoping and praying this film will be a massive disappointment to anyone who is thinking it will affirm their opinions about how Elvis “mistreated” Priscilla… that would heal my soul 😩 like if this film is just a total love letter to Elvis I will be laughing my way out of the theater lmaoo

at this point the only reason I’m not excited about this film is just because I don’t think it was done in a way that would reach it’s full potential. That recent review of it that came out of Reddit was kind of what I expected the film to be (lackluster, lacking depth and Jacob not really capturing Elvis’ essence… Coppola’s reasoning for casting Jacob was that since all the females in the audition room were enamored by him he must have had a similar charisma to Elvis but I just do not get that vibe😭 (no offense to Jacob stans)

as for what Lisa Marie would have thought of this film being made, I’d imagine she would act in a similar way to how Riley is. Supportive but not involved perhaps? This film is really Priscilla’s story. Not Elvis’ story, not Lisa Marie’s story etc. etc. so I don’t expect as many people in the Elvis world to be involved with it as they were with the 2022 film. Like I don’t expect to see Jerry Schilling doing interviews for this movie or girlfriend’s/friends of Elvis to give their review of it

I really really wish Lisa Marie was here, I miss her terribly and I still haven’t fully processed her passing, but I believe that Riley is doing everything her mother would have wanted, and I wish the best for her and her sisters 💗

The Sparkle of Emotion: Why Jewellery Ads Hold Timeless Appeal

In a world teeming with visual noise, jewellery ads emerge as glittering oases—capturing emotion, elegance, and aspiration in one radiant frame. These ads are more than just promotional tools; they are carefully crafted narratives that fuse art, desire, and psychology. In an age where attention spans are fleeting, jewellery brands have mastered the art of persuasion through storytelling, aesthetics, and technology.

Emotional Storytelling: The Golden Thread

Jewellery is intrinsically linked to human emotion—weddings, anniversaries, births, and personal milestones. Great ads don’t merely sell products; they sell feelings. Brands like Tanishq, Cartier, and Tiffany & Co. leverage emotional storytelling as a strategic anchor. Their campaigns center on love, legacy, and the timeless value of a gift. These stories not only humanize the brand but also build an emotional bridge with the consumer, where jewellery becomes a metaphor for memory and meaning.

Each piece is shown not as an accessory but as a vessel of sentiment. When audiences see their own lives mirrored in these narratives, brand recall intensifies. It's not just gold—it’s the warmth of a father's embrace. Not just a diamond, but the celebration of self-worth.

Aesthetics that Captivate: When Luxury Meets Art

Jewellery advertisements thrive on their visual grammar. Unlike other product categories, the success of a jewellery ad is often predicated on its artistic presentation. High-definition close-ups, ambient lighting, and ethereal backgrounds form the holy trinity of jewellery cinematography. These visuals don’t just inform—they captivate.

Luxury brands spare no expense in curating scenes that reflect opulence. The reflective glint of a sapphire ring under golden light or the meticulous detailing of filigree work shot in macro is no accident. These details convey craftsmanship and heritage, validating the product’s price and prestige. When art direction aligns with brand identity, it enhances trust and sophistication, inviting viewers into a world of elevated taste.

The Influence Economy: Celebrities and Influencers as Brand Catalysts

A recurring pattern in top-tier ads is the endorsement by celebrities and influencers. Their persona becomes the brand’s narrative, transforming the product from a lifeless object to a symbol of status and aspiration. Think of Deepika Padukone draped in temple jewellery or Zendaya showcasing a Bulgari necklace; their presence adds a gravitational pull to the campaign.

Influencers, too, are a strategic asset. Their relatability, combined with reach, helps bridge the gap between luxury and accessibility. Micro-influencers, in particular, bring authenticity to the conversation, especially when content revolves around everyday styling tips, unboxings, or emotional anecdotes tied to the jewellery piece.

Digital Disruption: Modern Tools for Classic Glamour

The transformation of jewellery advertisement in the digital era is revolutionary. With the advent of augmented reality (AR), users can virtually "try on" jewellery using platforms like ModiFace, YouCam Makeup, or JewelTry. These software tools allow potential buyers to experience products in a personalized manner, adding a tactile dimension to a traditionally visual category.

These software solutions are not just technical novelties; they are enablers of deeper customer engagement. By making the jewellery-buying process interactive and personalized, they remove doubt and friction from the decision-making journey.

From Print to Pixel: Evolution of Media Strategy

Traditional print media once served as the primary canvas for jewellery storytelling—full-page spreads in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, or regional wedding magazines. While still relevant, the power has shifted. Social media platforms— Instagram and Pinterest—are now the new jewel boxes.

Brands use carousel ads, reels, and influencer-led campaigns to showcase jewellery collections dynamically. With targeted ad campaigns powered by AI, jewellery advertisements today can find the exact customer based on age, occasion, and purchase behavior. It’s precision marketing at its finest, making every sparkle count.

The Psychology Behind the Sparkle

At the heart of every jewellery ad lies psychological precision. Colours like gold, rose, and emerald evoke luxury, femininity, and sophistication. Background music—often soft piano or string melodies—triggers emotional vulnerability. Even the pace of transitions in a video ad is orchestrated to maintain attention while building an emotional crescendo.

Ads don’t sell a need; they evoke a desire. They speak to a deeper yearning—to be seen, remembered, celebrated. And by positioning their products as part of life’s most cherished milestones, they achieve more than visibility—they gain emotional permanence.

Conclusion: Crafting Legacy Through Marketing

Jewellery ads are a masterclass in experiential marketing. They intertwine emotion, artistry, and innovation into campaigns that linger long after the screen goes black. In a world where digital and physical realms increasingly intersect, brands that successfully blend visual allure with emotional depth will continue to shine.

Through evocative storytelling, immersive technology, and influencer strategy, these ads do more than dazzle—they define what luxury means in the modern age.

Press Releases vs. Traditional Advertising: What Works Better?

In a world flooded with ads, brands are constantly searching for cost-effective ways to stand out and build trust. While traditional advertising (TV, radio, print) still has its place, press releases have emerged as a powerful, credibility-driven alternative — especially for businesses looking to grow online.

Traditional ads are designed to sell. They interrupt. They push a message. And consumers know it. That’s why many people today scroll past ads or block them entirely. Ads also tend to require large budgets and often deliver short-term results.

In contrast, press releases inform. They tell a story. When picked up by reputable media outlets, a press release acts as a third-party endorsement — significantly more powerful than self-promotion. It positions your brand as newsworthy, builds public trust, and improves your visibility across search engines.

Another major win? Press releases generate high-quality backlinks that benefit your SEO — something traditional ads can’t offer. They also stay live on news sites, offering long-term visibility compared to the short lifespan of a paid ad.

If you're aiming for brand authority, media exposure, and real ROI, press releases are a smarter investment.

Not sure how to start? Sitefy’s Press Release Writing & Distribution Service handles everything for you — from writing compelling press releases to submitting them across trusted news networks.

In today’s attention economy, authenticity wins. Choose press releases to speak with your audience, not just at them.
