And beyond the influencer space, many shoppers and commentators questioned the broader impact of such events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For brands and creators, the message is clear: success isn\u2019t guaranteed by the size of the event; it\u2019s built through planning, audience engagement, and adaptability.
