Capitalizing on Gen Z’s love for unexpected collabs, brands like Sephora, NYX, K18 Hair, and Flamingo have tapped into Moffit’s audience, seeking genuine connections rather than just trend-driven partnerships. Flamingo highlighted that their collab with Moffit, featuring a humorous twist where he swapped his mandolin for a Flamingo razor, has become one of their top-performing campaigns, boosting their TikTok profile visits by 1,000%.
