You probably already know this by now, but earlier this year, elf acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode for the price tag of $1 billion. At the time, a question I had was whether this would be successful long term, or whether it would flop like other celebrity beauty brands have in the past (like Kylie Cosmetics). In fact, I made a whole video exploring that question alone.

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got some answers when elf's filing with the US SEC made clear what was happening behind the scenes with Rhode. I went through the document, and broke down some of the data in this video. This video is data heavy, but filled with a lot of useful info about how beauty companies operate behind the scenes.

The fashion and beauty industries rely heavily on influencers for sales and marketing. But there are cracks to the foundation that have held up influencer power for the past 2 decades. In this episode, I explore the current state of influencing, the biggest threats to come, and what this will mean for the future. And of course, like in every The Devil Wears Data video, I do it all with data :)Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheDevilWearsDataTags: #businessofbeauty #business #finance #fashion #bloomberg #fashionbusiness #influencer #influencermarketing #shopping #contentcreation #content

Rhode was acquired by elf, at a deal worth $1 billion. That's a pretty number. But what are the chances that this company continues to see success?

After all, Kylie Cosmetics was acquired at a deal valuing the company at $1.3 billion, and look where it is now. It's struggling. And the company that acquired Kylie Cosmetics has seen its stock price decline significantly since 2019.

In this episode of The Devil Wears Data, I compare and contrast these two companies. I talk to an expert in beauty investing, and dig into some interesting data around beauty M&A deals to figure out the possible eventual fate of Rhode.

Hoka's sales growth is slowing, meanwhile another competitor is going in another direction. Some analysts think the shoe will make a comeback, and others think that Hoka's fall will be Nike's gain. Could it be true? In this video, I analyze the numbers around Hoka and what might happen to the shoe brand next.
