Fenty Beauty’s value surpasses established beauty brands

Tribe Dynamics has released its September earned media value report, with Fenty Beauty securing the third spot on the list. 

Rihanna’s namesake brand recorded $US72 million in earned media value, beating out long-established brands like Benefit ($US48.1 million) and Urban Decay ($US37 million) also despite only launching at Sephora on September 8. 

Fenty Beauty’s earned media value primarily came from Instagram, where the brand recorded $US45.2 million largely in thanks to the praise from influencers and regular consumers alike who raved about the inclusive foundation shade range. 

Another $US10.6 million in revenue was then drawn from YouTube, where the likes of Alissa Ashley, Jeffree Star and Nyma Tang gave the products glowing reviews.
