In our previous #KnowYourMIV installment, we spoke about Jessica Kahawaty and her collaboration with Dior Beauty. This time, we take an analytical look into the Swiss-Italian influencer, Xenia Tchoumi and her MIV from the ongoing partnership with L’Oréal, a brand that the Mega Influencer has been working with since September 2018.
Xenia has made a name for herself in the fashion, luxury and cosmetics industries, occupying a hugely influential space in the world of Instagram and online. However, the digital entrepreneur has a long list of accomplishments that span outside the online space as well – she speaks six languages, has given three TEDx talks, and has spoken at the United Nations, to name a few. Xenia has over 1.5M followers on her Instagram alone, where she focuses her energy not only on fashion or beauty but also on spreading wider, empowering messages about feminism, freedom, and self-confidence.
Below, you’ll discover the media impact generated by Xenia for her collaboration with L’Oréal between September 2018-present using our proprietary Media Impact Value™ algorithm (MIV®), which you can read more about here.
