Brand X Celebrity Partnerships: Crocs & Post Malone

The footwear brand Crocs has targeted younger consumers through collaborations with music artists such as Post Malone, Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, and Luke Combs. Post Malone has collaborated with Crocs on five limited edition releases so far with each drop selling out in short order. Using E-Score Brand and E-Score Celebrity, we explore what makes this pairing so successful among consumers under age 30. 

  • Crocs capitalizes on Post Malone’s influence among young consumers. The Crocs x Post Malone collaboration has led to five sold-out limited-edition releases so far.
  • Post Malone outperforms the spokesperson category average for traits such as Exciting, Influential, and Inspirational – all are traits where Crocs typically underperforms compared to other footwear brands.
  • Post Malone exceeds the spokesperson category average when it comes to Awareness, Appeal, Endorsement Power, and having a passionate fan base.

Brand Partnerships: Sephora & Kohl’s

In 2021, Kohl’s will add the Sephora premium beauty experience to many of their locations as well as online as they look to target younger consumers. Using E-Score Brand, we highlight what Sephora brings to the table as a partner among a key young consumer group: Gen Z women

  • Sephora elevates Kohl’s beauty experience and attracts a key consumer demographic: Gen Z women.
  • Sephora outperforms both Kohl’s and the retail category average for key metrics such as brand Appeal, Loyalty, and Purchase Consideration.

Brand Disruptor: Lemonade

Rising insurance disruptor, Lemonade, recently announced plans to expand their portfolio with an auto insurance offering coming in late 2021. Using E-Score Brand, we examine the growth potential of this brand disruptor and how it compares to an industry leader such as MetLife.

  • As a brand challenger, Lemonade needs to continue to grow consumer Awareness. To do this, Lemonade will need to continue to outperform established competitors such as MetLife when it comes to advertising recall and positive buzz surrounding the brand.
  • As Lemonade grows and expands their offerings, can they continue to keep current customers satisfied (positive NPS) and Loyal – both are areas where they currently outperform MetLife.
  • The opportunity is there as consumers seem ready for an alternative. Lemonade outperforms MetLife by double-digits when it comes to brand Appeal and Fandom, Interest in New Products/Services, Better Than Competitors, and Makes My Life Better.
