“Do not mislead consumers by enhancing the product using filters,” she added,
Ms Xuereb also advised brands to impose contractual obligations on their influencers to comply with all relevant regulations.
“A brand image can be negatively impacted if their influencers are called out on social negligence or any other aspect. Choose your partners wisely,” she advised.
Ms Xuereb has been Toly’s Head of Business Development for just over two years. She had previously worked as a General Manager at the company for six years. In between her two stints at Toly, she founded her own company, Beauty Trill.
