Welcome back to Influencer Insider. That's all. 👜

The Devil Wears Prada 2 has taken over all kinds of brands from beauty to tech, and we've got a ranking of the best we've seen so far.

In the sports world, Nike has had an interesting few weeks. From a removed Boston Marathon slogan to a fantastic London Marathon float racing down the Thames, they made a smooth recovery.

Also, remember this time last year when Unilever CEO Fernando Fernandez said he wanted to hire 20x more influencers? We found out if he actually lived up to that promise.

Let's get into the news, at a glacial pace. 💋

Ranking The Devil Wears Prada 2’s Brand Collabs: Who is Runway's It Girl?
Meryl Streep isn’t the only iconic thing to be returning to The Devil Wears Prada sequel: let’s talk about brand collabs.

20 years ahead of The Devil Wears Prada’s 2006 release, the advertising landscape looks completely different. Where brand partnerships once leaned on logo placement and red carpet visibility, today’s tie-ins are built for participation: think gamified drops, creator-ready formats, and IRL moments engineered for social spillover.

Behold: the digital detox KitKat.

KitKat is taking "Have a Break" to a new level by turning its packaging into a functional cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth blocker.

It’s a clever piece of packaging innovation that fits so well with the offline culture we're seeing evolve this year.
