In this episode of The Influence Factor, Alessandro Bogliari speaks with Lisa Zlotnick, Head of Brand PR, US Marketing at Shein, about her experience in brand transformation and the growing importance of creator partnerships.
She shares why brands need to move beyond transactional relationships with creators and focus on more authentic collaborations that reflect cultural relevance and integrity.
The conversation also explores how brands can better engage Gen Z through community-driven initiatives like campus ambassador programs, and why creators are increasingly becoming involved in product development - shifting their role from simple amplification to true authorship.
