In Episode 77 of Marketing Made Simple, Lucas and Luna break down why micro-influencers — accounts with 5,000 to 50,000 followers — are outperforming celebrity endorsements in 2026. They examine a real-world case: how the direct-to-consumer skincare brand Naturium used a network of 200 micro-influencers to generate a 12x return on ad spend during its Q1 2026 product launch. Lucas explains the data behind the shift: engagement rates on micro-influencer posts average 6.7 percent vs. 1.2 percent for influencers with over a million followers, according to a 2025 study by Later. Luna shares how one beauty creator with just 8,000 followers drove 1,400 sales in 48 hours. They discuss the three-step framework for building a micro-influencer strategy: finding authentic alignments, offering equity or commission instead of flat fees, and measuring true attribution with unique discount codes. This episode is packed with actionable advice for marketers tired of wasting budget on big names with low engagement. #MicroInfluencers #InfluencerMarketing #Naturium #SkincareMarketing #DTCBrands #EngagementRate #SocialMediaStrategy #CreatorEconomy #InfluencerStrategy #MarketingROI #LaterStudy #BeautyMarketing #CommissionBasedMarketing #UniqueDiscountCodes #InfluencerAttribution #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
