Hey there! This week we're showing you some of the influencer trends that we observed this year. My personal favorite is Virtual Influencer, where we've seen a rise of hyper-realistic, computer-generated models that have gained massive popularity online and embody the aesthetics and lifestyles that young consumers aspire to on social media. The most popular of these influencers is Lil Miquela, who has a huge social following and has collaborated with brands like Barneys New York. To learn more about the impact of social media on consumption habits and brand behavior, come to one of the 11 cities we're hosting Future Festival next year! To help you get there, we're holding a flash sale December 11-12, where you'll get an additional free VIP ticket with your purchase of any ticket. Check out some of the brands that will be attending below! Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche CEO, Author & Keynote Speaker - JeremyGutsche.com P.S.
