The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival once again inspired influencers to flaunt their #FestivalHair on Instagram, prompting a boom in content creation for certain brands. This year, among the Top 10 brands, the music festival proved most impactful for Pantene and IGK Hair, sparking a significant portion of each brand’s April EMV total.

  Pantene achieved a Top 10-leading 86% month-over-month growth, surging to No. 6 with $3.9M EMV after not ranking in March. Mentions of “Coachella” netted $1.4M EMV, while #PanteneFestivalHair garnered $1.2M EMV as the brand’s No. 2 April hashtag behind #ad ($1.4M EMV). Forty-four ambassadors used #PanteneFestivalHair across 99 posts, with 32 influencers including the tag in multiple pieces of content. Many influencers promoted the festival’s Pantene Style Lounge in a series of sponsored posts, while others organically credited the brand in content showing off their Coachella ’dos.

Meanwhile, IGK Hair experienced a 41% MoM growth, enjoying its first Top 10 appearance since April 2018, when the brand saw a similar boost from its Coachella 2018 activations. IGK Hair once again enjoyed posts from a range of influencers who tagged the brand in their festival looks, including musician Montana Tucker (@montanatucker on Instagram) and blogger Violet Benson (@violetbenson). In all, mentions of “Coachella” drove $592.4k EMV for IGK Hair.
