PR & Speaking

Brand Partnerships

I get blogging and social media. I get PR and advertising too.

I strongly believe that each can benefit from the other if the relationship is genuine and professional.  Most importantly? I have a community that respects what I say.

I’ve had great success working with brands such as ConAgra Foods, American Heart Association, Buick, Popsicle, Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson’s, TGIFriday’s, The GAP, Dell, and many more.  If your campaign fits with my lifestyle, I’m game to participate!  And I will only write honest reviews and will always disclose my relationship with you to my readers.

Specific areas of interest:

Food, Cooking & Entertaining
Travel
Fashion & Beauty
Books & Music
Entrepreneurship

Promotion Methods:

Blogging
Twitter
Facebook
Spokesblogger/Brand Ambassador Campaigns
Editorial
Event Hosting & Coordination
Focus Group/Copy Testing
