Sephora Bets On #BeautyTok

Beauty-product maker Sephora is teaming up with TikTok to create a program for rising beauty brands and content creators to navigate social media.

Key Details

  • Sephora, TikTok, and ad agency Digitas recently announced a partnership titled The Sephora x TikTok Incubator Program.
  • The partnership will connect TikTok creators to beauty brands from Sephora’s Accelerate program and help them use social media to boost their brands.
  • The program will consist of multiple social media and beauty education programs, and beauty brands will get to speak with prominent TikTok beauty creators, including Amy Chang, Rocio Lopez-Jimenez, and Nyma Tang.

Why it’s news

TikTok is one of the most popular social-media platforms, with more than 1 billion monthly users and 35 billion views on #BeautyTok, the trending section of all things beauty on the site.

Content creators will make videos detailing makeup, haircare, and skincare on #BeautyTok gaining millions of views and leading the item to ultimately sell out for months. For example, beauty brand The Ordinary saw a 426% spike in sales of its peeling solution after a viral video, and Glow Recipe saw a 600% spike in sales, with one product selling out over 17 times due to the app’s influence. 

Considering how well beauty-inspired videos do on the platform, Sephora is helping smaller, inclusive brands reach that momentum by launching the Sephora x TikTok Incubator Program, which will educate brands on education on how to use TikTok and other platforms to their advantage.

“The future of brand storytelling lies in the hands of multicultural creators, and by championing diverse creators, brands can unlock their full potential on TikTok,” says Head of TikTok’s U.S. Agency Partnerships, Soniya Monga. 

“Our partnership with Sephora and Digitas aims to educate brands on the importance of a DEI-first approach to creator partnerships. Together, we are building a framework that celebrates diversity and intersectionality, ensuring that every brand can accelerate their growth and success on TikTok through inclusive and impactful storytelling.”

Not only will the platform link beauty brands with education and other tools from popular TikTok creators, but it is also partnered with ad agency Digitas which is known for creating innovative campaigns that invest in diversity.

Although TikTok ultimately has the power to choose what goes viral on the platform, Sephora is helping set up brands with all the necessary tools needed to achieve the goals and work to fully use TikTok for the benefit of the brands.

EU

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has meant that world governments are struggling to understand the implications of AI as a disruption tool and thus aren’t able to meet the needs of writing regulations for it. 

Key Details

  • The White House released a blueprint in October to address many of the core economic and legal concerns with new technologies, such as algorithmic racial bias, data harvesting, and automation. 
  • The European Union proposed its Artificial Intelligence Act in 2021, litigating uses for AI that it deems high-risk and low-risk, but it hasn’t passed. 
  • Both major proposals were written before ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, which sparked four months of rapid innovation and demand for AI applications. 
  • The Chinese government has similarly stated its intention to limit AI, announcing on February 24 that the Ministry of Science and Technology will be monitoring the safety and uses of the technology. 
  • Smaller agencies like the New York City Department of Education and various financial institutions have limited uses of chatbots in specific applications. Still, national-level solutions have been limited, Bloomberg notes.

Metaverse

After pouring billions into it, Facebook’s delve into virtual reality appears to be a secondary consideration after layoffs and poor sales.

  • On Tuesday, the company announced another round of mass layoffs, with 10,000 more Meta employees losing their jobs. 
  • On March 3, Meta cut the prices of its flagship Meta Quest Pro products by 33%.

FR

The Federal Reserve has handed out hundreds of billions of dollars in the past week to avoid a banking crisis—one that President Joe Biden is eager to prevent from happening again. 

Key Details

  • According to the Federal Reserve’s Thursday report, the central bank lent $297 billion in emergency funds from Friday to Wednesday, in addition to $153 billion in lending against their collateral using “discount windows.” 
  • The spike in loans marked the highest number of requests the Fed has received in decades, eclipsing the 2008 financial crisis’s $111 billion discount window and the COVID pandemic’s $51 billion, Axios reports.    
  • In response to the ongoing turmoil, President Biden called for Congress on Friday to tighten banking regulations and impose penalties on banks “whose mismanagement contributed to their institutions failing.”
