Meet the #RushTok Brand Breakout Stars: Gen-Z Viral Brands, RobeCurls, WinkyLux & Bubble, Came to Campus and Into the Hearts (and Carts) of Millions of #BamaRush Viewers
TUSCALOOSA, AL, Aug. 19, 2023 - In an era where social media platforms like TikTok wield immense marketing power, a group of viral brands harnessed the force of the #bamarush2023 trend, captivating the hearts and shopping carts of millions of viewers. The Super Bowl may garner 200 million views, but TikTok's #bamarush hashtag boasts a staggering 3 billion-plus views. These savvy TikTok viral brands recognized the marketing potential and embarked on a unique journey that seamlessly blended marketing with authenticity.
When #bamarush2023 sensation Morgan Cadenhead, better known as @BamaMorgan, faced a makeup emergency on pref day, it led to an unexpected and heartwarming collaboration with Natalie Mackey, co-founder of WinkyLux, a renowned cosmetics brand. The story unfolded on TikTok, where Natalie Mackey decided to personally deliver WinkyLux makeup to Morgan, accompanied by her friends, Emily Kenison, the founder of RobeCurls and inventor of the viral heatless curling headband (named in Google's Top 100 Gift List 2022), and Bubble Skincare, a skincare brand whose swift virality has marked it as a competitor of billion dollar veteran brands like Neutrogena. They were joined by TikTok beauty content creator @AbbyTheBadAssMom.
The brands came together to create a gifting suite for the girls to get ready before pref day, all while documenting the process on TikTok. The result? A resounding success that resonated with the big #bamarush2023 community, including breakout stars like Morgan, Bella Grace, and more. Their heartfelt content captured millions of views, along with the hearts and wallets of viewers. Moreover, it provided emotional support to the girls, guiding them through the highs and lows of the rush process.
Despite Morgan not being selected for rush, the brands rallied around her, demonstrating unwavering support and encouragement. Their authentic approach to this unique marketing endeavor has fostered a loyal following among those following #bamarush.
The collaboration exemplifies the power of TikTok as a marketing platform and the authenticity of these brands, showing that true connections can be made in the digital age. It's a testament to the way brands can not only engage but also emotionally resonate with their audience.
