CHALLENGE

A DTC challenger reframing affordable eyewear as fashion.

Zenni pioneered online prescription eyewear in 2003 and has sold over 50 million frames. The challenge: shift the conversation from price-leader to self-expression brand, showing that Zenni frames belong in fashion-forward wardrobes, on-camera desks, and aesthetic feeds, not just budget conversations.

SOLUTION

13 macro-creators. Style plus identity.

Ainfluencer matched Zenni with 13 macro-creators across Zenni's core fashion-lifestyle audience: NYC fashion writer Caroline Vazzana, reality TV personalities Susie Evans and Sean Stewart, Pinterest aesthetic creator Charlotte, tech professional Caitlin Sarian, and a roster of lifestyle macros. Each shot Zenni frames in their real environment, producing 16 native Reels of GRWMs, OOTDs, and everyday style demos.

RESULT

9M+ reach. 15% engagement.

A 15% engagement rate, roughly 8x fashion-category paid social benchmarks. Direct traffic to zennioptical.com and measurable lift across frame search terms. Library of native creator content Zenni can repurpose across product pages, paid social, and email.

Why Macro

Why macro-creators were the right call for Zenni.

For a DTC fashion-eyewear brand like Zenni, macro-creators (100K–1M followers) are the sweet spot. They have wardrobe credibility, on-camera polish, and audience trust, plus engagement rates that outperform celebrity tiers. The result: native content that drives both consideration and conversion.

  • Polished video skills, no extra production cost
  • Built-in audiences in specific niches
  • Trust that paid ads can't buy
  • Scale that nano-creators can't match
