What is Influencer marketing?
Even The Rock knows that Influencer marketing works! Being active on social media is A LOT of work, trust me. As a business owner and even marketing personal you may not have the time to commit to this connector. But we all know, if you are not on social media, you do not exist. This is where I come in as an Influencer and brand ambassador.
​
With my heavy online presence and industry knowledge I have been able to help many companies push their brand awareness, create hype over new products, or just gain more followers. There are many ways this can be done including giveaways, product photography posts, on location stories and custom videos. Contact me today to get the Maven touch for your brand, product or event!
