Die Marke PICO-BALLA von HARIBO kooperiert anlässlich des 25-jährigen Jubiläums mit RITTER SPORT, indem die Welt mit einer quadratischen Vollmilchschokolade voller Fruchtgummis in limitierter Auflage beglückt wird. Ist das eine sinnvolle Markenkooperation? Wer profitiert mehr? Aktuell veröffentliche Studien zum Einfluss des Influencer Marketings auf das Kauf- und Konsumverhalten der GenZ kommen zu diametral anderen Ergebnissen. Laut einer Studie sind Influencer der wichtigste Kommunikationskanal für Marken, laut einer anderen spielen sie nahezu keine Rolle. Woran liegt das? Sind die Studien schlecht angelegt oder werden sie falsch interpretiert? Oder muss der GenZ-Ansatz grundlegend überdacht werden? In Deutschland befindet sich die 2023 gegründete LAP-Café-Kette auf Expansionskurs. Allein in Berlin gibt es schon 16 Cafés. Zum Vergleich STARBUCKS unterhält nur 8 Cafés in der deutschen Hauptstadt. LAP COFFEE verkauft seinen Kaffee zu günstigen Preisen an jüngere Kunden. Wie ist das Marketingkonzept zu beurteilen? Wird es sich langfristig durchsetzen?

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail Podcast, our guest is with Lauren Price, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing for COS North America discussing her impressive career trajectory and work positioning the H&M-owned brand for growth in a competitive, fast-moving fashion retail landscape.Lauren's career began in the early days of luxury e-commerce at Createthe Group, building first-generation online stores for high-end brands . Her path included consulting with Demandware and L2 (Scott Galloway's firm), leading to her first in-house brand role at J.Crew before joining COS—a globally recognized fashion brand known for exceptional quality, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.At COS, Lauren oversees North American marketing and digital commerce, a key growth market. She explains how COS benefits from the resources of a global parent company while operating with the agility of a smaller regional business. This unique position allows for strategic experimentation while maintaining the brand's commitment to premium quality.A highlight from the conversation is COS's viral marketing moment: a $45 T-shirt compared on TikTok to a $15 Uniqlo tee, with the influencer praising COS's superior quality and construction.

The lesson: seize authentic, organic momentum quickly and amplify it with campaigns that focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and product education—especially to win over savvy Gen Z shoppers.Lauren also tackles the emerging challenge of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), advising brands to prepare product catalogs for AI-driven search while maintaining current SEO performance.

The boys are back (and better than ever) with a brand-new episode on what influencer marketing will look like soon (including AI). In this episode, they break down the new deal between ESPN and the NFL. Does this partnership signal new opportunities for brands and content marketing deals in the near future?

Winners and losers include the future of influencer marketing, the Savannah Bananas, American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney, and Vogue. Rants and raves feature CMOs uncovering a new trend in influencer strategy—and Superman. ----- This week's links: ESPN to buy NFL Network How YouTube Age Verification Could Hurt the Creator Economy What MLB Can Learn from the Savannah Bananas?
