In Ep. 124 of Earned, Conor sits down with Courtney Shields, social media icon (with over 1M Instagram followers) and Co-founder of fast-growing beauty brand DIBS. To start, we dive into the ups and the downs of product creation, and learn the story behind two of DIBS Beauty’s most successful product launches. Courtney shares why she needs to feel 100% confident in a product before putting it out in the world, and how that only enhances the excitement of seeing DIBS “in the wild.” With over 10 years of experience in social media and a passion for beauty, Courtney explains how the idea for DIBS Beauty came out of understanding her community’s needs and wanting to create a solution for them. We unpack how Courtney built a loyal fanbase for DIBS Beauty in its early stages by finding people who truly love and use the brand organically, before hearing why the DIBS Beauty team focuses on the entire experience of the product to take the guesswork out of beauty. Next, Courtney reveals the secret to her success co-founding a brand as a creator, and how her personal experiences as a creator have helped inform DIBS Beauty’s influencer marketing strategy. We then dive into Courtney’s life as a creator and hear where her “line” is when it comes to sharing her personal life online. Courtney reveals her “evolve or die” mindset when it comes to ever-changing social media platforms, and how she approaches Instagram versus TikTok. To close the show, Courtney reminds us that what you see on social media is a packaged polished version of people, and that if you don’t like following someone—unfollow them!
