Men’s grooming has always had a talking problem.

The products sell, but in South Africa the conversation has mostly happened behind closed bathroom doors. So when a leading national health and beauty retailer asked us to drive awareness and clicks for its grooming range, the real job was giving men permission to talk about it.

The results:
📈 Link clicks 406% above target
💸 Cost per click 80% below target
👆 Meta click-through rate about 2.7x the retail benchmark
✅ Zero budget variance

The biggest surprise? The highest engagement rate didn’t come from the most polished content. It came from an everyday creator holding a product in a real bathroom.

And the comments section? It turned into a brotherhood, with men publicly saying they’d try the products.

Influence gets you the first purchase. Rhode worked out how to get the second, then the third, you get the picture.

In three years, with just 10 products and no retail presence, Hailey Bieber's Rhode became a $1 billion brand. Over the same period, a long list of celebrity beauty brands quietly closed their doors.

In our latest editorial, Sam Chambers unpacks what Rhode signals for creator-led brands, and why the model may suit African markets even better than the U.S.

Rhode’s success is easy to attribute to Hailey Bieber’s fame, but when celebrity-backed brands with huge audiences are shutting down, there’s clearly more to the story.

So what did Rhode get right?

How do you make toothpaste stand out in a category where everyone promises the same thing?

Give creators a product truth worth talking about. 👀

For Close Up Nigeria, we combined comedy, lifestyle, dental expertise and nano creators to turn Antibacterial Zinc into a story people could actually connect with.

31M+ impressions. 1.3M clicks. 8M video views. And a 90% drop in cost per click.

Your busiest retail season is decided in September.

Not in November when the Black Friday emails go out. In September, when the brief lands, creators get selected and contracted, content gets produced and approved, and flighting gets locked in.

The end of year sales push isn’t just one Friday. It runs from late October to the end of December, and it carries the highest concentration of discretionary spend in the calendar: Black Friday, festive gifting, December travel, and the considered purchases people research for weeks before committing.

Creator campaigns cannot be switched on in the first week of November. Selection, briefing, production, and approvals take time, and the strongest creators in your category are already booked by the brands that moved earlier.

Webfluential runs fully managed influencer campaigns across Africa, from creative briefing and creator selection through content approvals, delivery, payments, and live reporting you can check at any time.

September and early October are the last real windows. Brief us after that, and you are competing in a season you did not prepare for.

INVITATION 📆

South Africa's creator economy is growing up, and the rules are catching up with it.

Disclosure requirements. Tax obligations. A regulatory landscape that is shifting under everyone's feet. Whether you're a creator earning from brand deals or a brand investing in creator marketing, these are the questions that will shape the next few years of the industry.

That's why we're inviting our clients and creators to join this free virtual webinar, where our COO Pieter Groenewald will be on the panel alongside:
⚡️Amanda Hoosen Ramguthee, Africa Digital Director for The Coca-Cola Company at WPP Media
⚡️Jolene Roelofse, Founder and CEO of Fluence Africa
⚡️Moderated by Casey Mantle, Head of Digital at Special Effects Media South Africa

Same content. Different handle. Very different numbers. [Part 2]

Last week we showed you the gap between creator content and brand-owned content. This week we're looking at how that gap gets wider when you co-post.

Brand campaigns can tell people you’re trustworthy, but your customers can prove it.

The key is to get those customer voices into the conversation at the exact moment a prospect is hesitating.

Because if you’re not shaping the conversation, the internet is doing it for you.

From State Farm betting on TikTok creators to MrBeast turning a brand partnership into an investment, finance is proving that influence isn’t just about awareness — it’s about trust, action, and results.

One insurer walked away from a $7 million Super Bowl slot and handed the budget to TikTok creators. It reached 245 million people, nearly double the Big Game's audience.

One fintech bank made MrBeast a shareholder. His video sent daily payment requests up 700% and pushed the app to number 5 in the App Store finance rankings.

Neither of these is a fluke. In our new Press article, Murray Legg breaks down why the world's two biggest creators both bet on finance, what banks and insurers can learn from it, and why the opportunity is even stronger for African brands.
