Brands ranked first by Earned Media Value on Social
Analyzing Social Media performance in detail, Celebrities and Influencers did not generate the most value. Celebrities and Influencers ranked third by EMV with 5% of the total. Of course, this category of content creators did not have their usual opportunity to make live pictures and videos attending the shows and this had a negative impact on both the number of posts (10% of all content) and EMV for this group. Indeed, within the top 10 Celebrities and Influencers' ranking, we did not find the names usually seated in the front rows of all fashion weeks. Brazilian actress Isis Valverde ranked #1 with an Engagement of around 275K and a Reach of over 7M. Model Joan Smalls and another Brazilian actress, Camila Queiroz, respectively ranked second and third.
