Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland, Summer Fridays: Influencer brand to know

By Sara Spruch-Feiner
Feb 28, 2022

This profile is part of the Glossy Pop guide to influencer-founded brands, covering the fashion, beauty and wellness companies started by people who built their careers on social media. 

Who: Marianna Hewitt & Lauren Ireland (Summer Fridays)

Platform & Following:
Hewitt: Instagram (1.1M followers)
Ireland: Instagram (285K followers)

Briefly, what are you known for & how did you grow your following:

Gores:  Beauty & wellness influencer, co-founder of Summer Fridays

Hewitt: Influencer, co-founder of Summer Fridays and podcast host of Life With Marianna 

What’s the brand: Skin care

Find it: SummerFridays.com and Sephora

Why did you decide to bring a brand into this crowded marketplace?
Gores: I was early into my first pregnancy when we had the idea for Summer Fridays, and I had been swapping out most of my beauty routine for better options. Hence, the importance of products with effective, good-for-you ingredients, built around a brand story that resonated with us and our community.

Hewitt: I’ve been creating content and building my community online now for a decade. After years of recommending products that I loved, we thought it was time to create our own brand to bring to life exactly what my community was asking for. 

What makes the brand different?
We love creating a storyline around each product — from naming, to packaging to the copy we use, and every photo and video we create around it. Every decision, big and small, is made with intention and thought, while bringing our community along the way. They are the reason for everything we do.

Fun fact: CC Me serum was our first product born out of direct input from our online community.

Best seller: Jet Lag Mask
