Octoly Tour in Los Angeles, California
In case you missed it, we had our first U.S. Octoly Tour stop in Los Angeles, California! Octoly Takes LA was an afternoon full of insight on the influencer marketing industry from the brands themselves, how to be a #GirlBoss, and of course, a healthy dose of mingling and meeting new members of the #OctolyFamily.
First up on the agenda was an inspiring talk from Serena Saitas from Crash the Glass, a leadership movement inspired by female entrepreneurs. Serena chatted about millennial female entrepreneurs and how the way we talk about women is changing systematically.
The next discussion came from Rebecca Alexander, Founder and President of Socialyte, a premier influencer agency. She gave raw and honest insight into how to monetize your content and know your worth in an oversaturated industry.
After a quick lunch break (and of course, a little dose of sunshine on the very Instagrammable rooftop), we had a small panel discussion with brand representatives about what they look for when collaborating with an influencer (here’s a hint: be authentic and be yourself). We learned a ton of great tips and tricks from Make Up For Ever, MVMT, and Rebecca Alexander from Socialyte about working with brands and how to get noticed for future collabs.
After hearing all about the brand’s perspective, there was time to chat with some of the awesome reps that stopped by to meet some members of the #OctolyFamily. Make Up For Ever and Clarins both had touch-up stations set up throughout the venue, MVMT had a ton of fun sunglasses and watches to gift, and Diptyque set up a juice bar to keep everyone refreshed out in the gorgeous sunshine!
