Editor’s Pick 🌟
ClickZ was on the ground at POSSIBLE Miami, and here were our top takeaways:
More than ever, consumer discovery is shifting to "interest media" platforms (like TikTok, Snap & Pinterest). Gary Vaynerchuk highlighted this evolution from a "social media era" to interest media, emphasizing that brands must now prioritize creating relevant content aligned with user interests to capture attention at the crucial initial stages of the customer journey.
Measuring the ROI of top-of-funnel engagement on "interest media" channels is becoming a crucial differentiator. Despite recognizing the importance of reaching consumers earlier, many brands struggle to effectively track how content on interest media channels translated to bottom-line results. Those adopting full-funnel measurement solutions increasingly hold a competitive advantage.
Commerce is increasingly integrated into content (e.g., TikTok Shop) demanding strategies that blend engagement and direct purchase. The growing impact of viral content driving sales, particularly through platforms like TikTok Shop, highlights the need for brands to embrace shoppable content experiences to capitalize on this evolution.
Turning these insights into actionable strategies is essential. For a free resource on strategically investing in and measuring the performance of upper-funnel 'interest media' channels, check out Fospha's Growth Accelerator Guide here.
Sector Spotlight 🎥
BEAUTY ROUTINES
Pregnant women experience evolving skin needs across trimesters, requiring tailored routines: the first trimester prioritizes gentle hydration and mineral sunscreen; the second addresses pigmentation with vitamin C and mild exfoliants; the third focuses on deep moisturization. Avoiding retinol, salicylic acid, and fragrance-based products is essential. These actionable adjustments provide marketing professionals in health and wellness sectors with distinct messaging strategies for trimester-specific skincare solutions.
LUXURY GIFTING TRENDS
Pregnancy-focused Mother’s Day gift recommendations—including ergonomic belly bands, slip-on sneakers, maternity sleepwear, and prenatal skincare sets—directly address comfort, convenience, and emotional support for expectant mothers. Marketers in maternity and eCommerce categories can identify consumer demand trends and craft relevant, timely product positioning strategies.
POSTPARTUM RECOVERY SOLUTIONS
Postpartum belly bands and wraps do not accelerate core recovery or weight loss, but they offer practical benefits like improved comfort, posture, and incision support—especially after C-sections. Marketers should note their rising popularity, consumer misconceptions, and evidence-backed value in targeted messaging for eCommerce health products.
BEAUTY PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT
Hailey Bieber’s endorsement of NATURIUM Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter—amplified by her personal use of 15 jars during her pregnancy and reinforced by hundreds of five-star reviews—demonstrates the power of authentic celebrity influence in the beauty sector. Marketers should note the consumer trust generated by transparent, experience-based recommendations and leverage such advocacy in eCommerce campaigns.
PREGNANCY WELLNESS ESSENTIALS
Hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms pose significant safety risks for pregnant individuals due to increased core body temperature and heightened infection risk, potentially impacting fetal development and maternal health. Marketers in the health and wellness sector should highlight safer self-care options—such as controlled-temperature baths and prenatal massages—to align offerings with medically endorsed pregnancy safety practices.
