How Sol de Janeiro Is Rethinking Influence in a Fragmented Social Landscape

Sol de Janeiro’s social playbook shows how beauty brands are adapting to a fragmented content landscape where deeper engagement and creator alignment matter more than raw reach. Here's what you need to know:

• Platform fragmentation is reshaping brand strategy, according to Avrielle Cortes, who joined Sol de Janeiro in December and said the biggest shift in the past decade has been the end of platform monoculture after brands spent years heavily focused on TikTok before expanding again across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and other channels.

• Non-followers now matter as much as followers, with Cortes saying brands can no longer rely on follower count as the main signal of influence because discovery is increasingly driven by recommendation algorithms like TikTok’s For You feed, allowing content to reach large audiences beyond a creator’s direct following.

• Sol de Janeiro is prioritizing creator fit and cultural relevance, as shown by its recent partnership with Delaney Rowe, the Los Angeles comedian and actress who has built an audience of more than 4 million followers across TikTok and Instagram.

• The KPIs that matter are getting more specific, with Cortes highlighting share rates, save rates, and comment quality as especially valuable signals beyond standard metrics like viewership rate and engagement rate because they better show whether a community is genuinely resonating with content.

• Creators are being advised to niche down and push for clearer deal terms, with Cortes saying fast-growing creators today tend to win by owning a narrow niche rather than a broad category.
