In this episode of Influencer Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a new frontier: influencers purchasing ad space directly within retailer-owned media networks. The hosts break down the mechanics of retail media—how networks like Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, and Instacart's Carrot Ads work—and explain why creators are bypassing brands to buy their own placements. They examine a specific case: a beauty influencer who spent $15,000 on Amazon Sponsored Brands ads to promote her own product line, generating a 4x return on ad spend in six weeks. The conversation covers the strategic shift from influencer-as-endorser to influencer-as-advertiser, the data advantages of retail media attribution, and the potential tensions with partner brands who may see it as poaching. Lucas and Luna also discuss how this move mirrors what top creators have done with TV commercials and billboards, and what it signals for the future of creator commerce. Tune in for a focused look at how influencers are rewriting the rules of media buying. #RetailMedia #InfluencerMarketing #AmazonAds #WalmartConnect #Instacart #CreatorCommerce #SponsoredBrands #AdBuying #BeautyInfluencer #ROAS #Attribution #MediaBuying #CreatorEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Marketing #DigitalAdvertising #Ecommerce Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
