Now\, discovery\, validation\, and purchase happen in the same moment. Subsequently\, growth no longer happens in stages. It occurs in loops\, powered by Brand Advocacy. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n Overview \nThis session presents leaders from both Duel and Hue to break down what actually drives revenue to turn engagement into sales. \nThe trends to be discussed include: \n\n\nThe Big Shift: Today’s growth model isn’t linear\, it’s a loop. Brands that still optimize in stages lose to brands that engineer momentum.\nVideo is table stakes for your ecommerce strategy: Vanity metrics don’t drive revenue. Scalable\, repeatable social proof does.\nConsumer engagement outperforms paid performance: People don’t want better ads\, they want a relationship. The brands outpacing the market are turning customers\, creators\, and employees into active brand builders.\n\n  \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Nicole Clay\n Hue \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Verity Hurd\n Duel \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Event Partners URL:https://cew.org/event/from-funnel-to-feed-driving-sales-in-a-social-first-world/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cew.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/CEW_Duel_Hue_16_9.png LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260407T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260407T193000 DTSTAMP:20260511T204933 CREATED:20260226T193957Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T184932Z UID:10000629-1775583000-1775590200@cew.org SUMMARY:Connections: CEW x Circana DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of Beauty Industry Insights & Networking. \n\n\n\nConnect with fellow beauty professionals over light bites\, drinks\, and inspiring conversation including a panel discussion on Social Commerce. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n Overview \nTikTok Shop is rapidly redefining the beauty landscape\, transforming how products are discovered\, shared\, and purchased across generations.
