Kylie Jenner launches 2 new ventures
In a whirlwind of entrepreneurial spirit, Kylie Jenner unveiled two new ventures in a single week. 🤯
Yes, you read that right—two launches that could make any marketer’s head spin.
But for someone like Kylie, it feels like just another day at the “office.”
Yet, this brings us to an intriguing question: Is Kylie Jenner pushing the envelope too far, or is she simply playing the influencer marketing game like a pro?
Join me as I see what we can learn from Kylie’s influencer marketing strategy.
Let’s roll. 👇
A glimpse into Kylie’s empire
First things first.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the breadth of Kylie’s business acumen.
Kylie co-founded her first and most successful venture, Kylie Cosmetics, LLC, at age 18.
In 2019, it was valued at $1.2 billion. 🤯
But she didn’t stop there; she later expanded to other areas:
👉 Khy (Fashion)
👉 Kylie Baby (Baby products)
👉 Kylie Skin (beauty/skincare)
And let’s not forget her latest additions.
Let’s start with Cosmic.
What is it?
An out-of-this-world perfume line.
“From another world. Our sculptural bottle was formed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand,” Kylie captioned a photo of her Cosmic perfume bottle.
According to Jenner’s Instagram post, the perfume is available in 3 refillable sizes: 30ml/1oz, 50ml/1.7oz, and 2100ml/3.3oz, plus a travel spray and refill.
But Kylie didn’t stop there.
She also launched a new vodka soda line, Sprinter.
The drink will be available in four flavours: black cherry, peach, grapefruit, and lime.
“Sprinter is my answer to the growing consumer demand for quality canned cocktails — we’re adding to a market dominated by only a few players with an incredibly delicious vodka soda in a can,” Kylie said in a statement.
However, amidst these successes, there have been hiccups, like the backlash against Kylie Swim for its quality.
Despite this, Kylie has demonstrated resilience, bouncing back with ventures that continue to captivate her audience.
The social media conundrum
In my opinion, and echoed by several influencer marketing managers I’ve spoken with, Kylie’s Instagram has evolved from a personal glimpse into her life to a robust billboard for her myriad ventures.
Yes, every post is meticulously curated. But almost every post is a gateway to another Kylie-branded universe.
Is this relentless promotion a stroke of strategic genius?
Or is it a path to diluting her personal brand amidst a sea of advertisements?
Kylie herself has navigated the treacherous waters of public opinion, sharing how criticism of her “true personality” hits harder than any critique of her business persona.
She’s chosen a path where her triumphs, neatly packaged and presented, dominate her social media landscape, perhaps shielding her from the brunt of online scrutiny but at the cost of personal connection.
Striking the balance
What’s fascinating is Kylie’s ability to juggle the promotion of six different ventures, each with its unique brand identity, alongside occasional nods to her sister’s brands and collaborations with others.
With an audience of over 400 million followers, her strategy seems to be paying off:
👉 Kylie is the most-followed Kardashian-Jenner member.
👉 Her follower count has grown by 0.24% in the last six months.
👉 This month, she’s seen a 17% increase in likes.
At just 26, a mother of two, Kylie has constructed an empire most can only fantasise about.
But this begs the question: at what cost?
The line between personal branding and personal space grows increasingly blurry with each launch.
My final thoughts
Here’s my take: Kylie Jenner understands her audience.
She’s mastered the delicate art of balancing promotion with saturation, knowing just how far to push without tipping over into the realm of overexposure.
Her approach, a blend of business savvy and strategic content delivery, serves as a case study in influencer marketing done right.
Yet, the broader conversation this sparks about influencer marketing is crucial.
It’s about finding that sweet spot where business growth and personal connection coexist harmoniously.
As we marvel at Kylie’s empire, it’s essential to remember the importance of authenticity and engagement in an ever-commercializing digital world.
