Influencer? No, thanks. Brands prefer content creators
The era of influencers is potentially coming to an end, accelerated by recent scandals and a shift towards content creators who are valued for their ability to produce original, high-quality content. Content creators are emerging as experts in specific fields such as fashion, technology, and finance, offering more targeted content to a specific audience, which is also appealing to brands. The phenomenon of Financial Influencers (Finfluencers) is well-established in the United States and growing in Italy. InTarget's research 'Follow the Money' highlights a strong demand for financial content among Italians, with a significant portion seeking information on trading and finance. Traditional financial institutions are leaving space for content creators by not engaging sufficiently in educational content, presenting an opportunity for collaboration. Discussions on social media have been identified as accelerating deposit outflows and contributing to recent bank failures, such as that of Silicon Valley Bank, by spreading panic among the public.

After Apple, which tech companies will challenge banks?
Apple's new savings account, in collaboration with Goldman Sachs, offers a 4.15% annual return and is FDIC-protected, currently available only in the US. Roberto Nicastro, president and co-founder of Banca AideXa, believes Apple is redefining retail banking, potentially transforming its banking interface into the primary access point for retail banking services. He predicts other tech giants like Google may follow suit, benefiting consumers in the short term but requiring substantial changes from traditional banks and fintechs. Nicastro advises banks to offer unique value propositions, focus on less vulnerable segments, and improve customer experience to compete with Apple.
