Hey there! The Influential Egg If someone asked you about online influencers a few short weeks ago, chances are that the contents of your fridge would be the furthest thing from your mind. Little did we know, however, that a simple egg was about to become Instagram's biggest celebrity. Having amassed over 10 million followers and 52 million "likes" on a single photo, World_Record_Egg boasts the kind of fanbase most influencers could only dream about. By partnering with Hulu and Mental Health America, the beloved account was even able to channel its unlikely fame into a simple yet powerful PSA that aired during Sunday's Super Bowl. Unexpected collaborations can be a great way for brands to reach new audiences or even to increase engagement with existing customers. We explored this phenomenon further in our Co-Campaign insight, which dives into a few of the ways companies are elevating their business through cross-industry partnerships. If you're hungering for more insights like this, I invite you to join us at one of our 10 upcoming Future Festival tour dates! We're running a limited time Buy One, Get One Free promotion until Valentine's Day, so now is the perfect time to get your ticket. I hope to see you there, but in the meantime, enjoy your weekly report! Cheers, Jeremy Gutsche CEO, Author & Keynote Speaker - JeremyGutsche.com P.S.
