My Market Insight, the company for data, commentary, and analysis across various media platforms, has revealed its weekly beauty insight today with a focus on fragrance in (April-June) Q217 v's (July-Sept) Q317.
This week’s report focuses on the PR performance of fragrance brands across print, online and social channels between Q217 (April-June) and Q317 (July-September). We look at the quarter on quarter trends, displaying which fragrance brands led the way in terms of mentions, earned media value (EMV) and social actions.
Within this report, we highlight examples of successful new fragrance launches that stand out amongst a category that is renowned for its classic fragrances. With so many different fragrance products all launching and vying for coveted media space, online has embraced the opportunity to talk about these new launches.
This week’s report also profiles a case study on Jo Malone London and the impact of inviting Social Influencers on a press trip to celebrate a product launch. We see the power of Social Influnecers in driving PR mentions through their multiple platforms. That is, coverage dedicated to the launch being shared across Instagram, YouTube as well as blog articles. As a direct result of this content, audiences have a sense of immediacy to the product, which in turn drives engagement as followers interact with these social posts and deliver social actions in the form of likes, views and comments.
Content Summary:
In Q317, Chanel's latest launch, Chanel Gabrielle, achieved 99 PR mentions, ranking 1st for PR mentions by fragrance product across print, online and social.
In Q217 and Q317, Giorgio Armani ranked in the top 10 fragrance brands for both periods based on the number of PR mentions as well as EMV across print, online and social.
Tom Ford’s latest launch was the limited-edition scent Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous. This captured the attention of the media, creating a buzz of excitement, in part due to its sassy name.
