The visuals were sleek, the product integration seamless, but the real win? The sheer global reach and engagement that came with Ros\u00e9\u2019s massive fandom.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Helvetica',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;text-align:left;\"> \ud83d\udca1<span style=\"font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b>What marketers can learn:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table role=\"none\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mob-w-full\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"60%\" style=\"vertical-align:top\" class=\"mob-stack\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Helvetica',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Cultural influence is about tapping into deeply engaged communities.

SKIMS knew exactly what it was doing by featuring Ros\u00e9: leveraging a fandom that is not only massive but also highly vocal and loyal. For brands looking to replicate this, it\u2019s not enough to throw a celebrity into a campaign.
