Today I wanted to share my personal opinion on the "Influencer's world", by exploring the evolving landscape of influencers, considering both legal and social media perspectives, from the definition of influencers (throughout guidelines by institutions like IAP and AGCM) to the legal frameworks for influencer contracts, distinguishing between sponsorship and influencer performance contracts based on recent judicial interpretations (Tribunale di Roma). I do also give an overview on the impact of platforms like TikTok and Instagram on influencer marketing, suggesting a potential shift in influencer dynamics as platforms seek to control user engagement and content trends. https://lnkd.in/dWXd77yJ #influencers #socialmedia

"In the era of changes we are now experiencing, we must ask ourselves how the latter is affecting labor, collective bargaining and more generally industrial relations": Domenico De Vito - Compliance Expert and Payroll Expert at Sgariglia & Partners stp-srl - shifts the focus onto the world of #labor and #workers during the latest edition of the World Protection Forum 💥 Held in the Republic of San Marino as a State event, the new edition of the Forum welcomed on the stage of the Kursaal Congress Centre a plethora of exceptional guests. The main focus in 2023 was on three major themes: Artificial Intelligence, technologies and progress. And in this framework, Domenico De Vito reflects on how, as we navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by AI, robotics, and quantum technologies, we're witnessing profound shifts in the #business landscape. However, amidst discussions of digital entrepreneurship and rapid technological advancements, we must address how AI affects workers and industrial relations. The EU's proposed AI regulation underscores the need for human oversight and transparency to safeguard fundamental rights. This necessitates proactive compliance and risk management, reshaping traditional employment contracts to be more dynamic and inclusive of workers' rights and duties. Human oversight becomes crucial in organizational decisions to ensure legal compliance and protect workers' rights. Companies integrating AI must prioritize safety, reliability, and respect for human rights, collaborating with regulators to ensure equitable benefits and opportunities for worker retraining. While AI holds immense potential, proactive and responsible management is essential to address challenges and promote a culture that prioritizes humanity and sustainability.

10 questions about Fashion Marketplaces that we answered in our online course. 💥 Which questions should #fashion brands ask themselves before launching on a #marketplace? In this article, co-written with Filippo Quattrone - Head of Marketplace at FiloBlu, we tackle specific aspects from Business Planning to Technical Integration. Here is a preview: 1️⃣ In which situations online marketplaces are an advantage? • Marketplaces allow brands to open new markets where the brand doesn’t have specific local competences or has little brand awareness. In this case brands can use marketplaces to expand brand awareness and sales. • Another situation is when the brand’s product are already available for sale on the marketplace but they are ↦ sold by many different sellers, in this case the brand may want to take control of the channel by selling directly. 2️⃣ Is there cannibalization between marketplace and Direct To Consumer (DTC) e-commerce? • In order to establish if there is cannibalization we need to analyze the sell out prices and the products sold by Category and Best Sellers. Depending on the results of this analysis you may establish if there is a potential cannibalization or synergy between the different channels. To find out more about this topic see the marketplace course. 3️⃣ How to control the prices on online marketplaces? • Brands can monitor the sellout prices on marketplaces by using specific applications that scan the marketplaces and provide the brands with results. • In alternative fashion brands can delegate this analysis to service providers who manage marketplaces for fashion brands in outsourcing. 4️⃣ What are the benefits of selling on digital marketplaces? • Gather data about product preferences in different markets; • Exploit fashion ↦ product lifecycle by selling new products on premium channels and off-season products on discount marketplaces; • Marketplaces that are specialized for local markets can help the brands to grow brand awareness and sales in that specific market. • Marketplaces allow brands to acquire new customers who generally buy on those specific marketplaces and turning them into brand loyalists. 5️⃣ What are the rules to sell on marketplaces? • In order to sell on marketplaces we need to follow the marketplaces Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for example for shipping and customer service • Technical integration: connector software, datafeed and mapping specifications • Content guidelines: product images description, marketplace brand page content; • Implement Marketing and Advertising campaigns where possible and required.
