Project Pan Participants on Social Media Shopping Habits - The Verge

Journalist looking to interview Project Panners Hi, all! My name is Mia Sato and I'm a reporter at The Verge, a leading tech news outlet, where I frequently write about the influencer industry and social media. I'm working on a story about people who have found themselves influenced to buy something after watching content online — and how social media has changed their shopping and consumption habits. I'd love to interview Project Pan participants who came to this community to reset their relationship with their makeup, skincare, and other products. Have you been influenced into buying something and then regretted it? Did you accumulate so many products that you began to feel negatively about your consumption habits? I'd love to chat. My email is [email redacted]. We can discuss anonymizing your identity in the piece if that's something you're concerned about. Thank you!
