I'm so excited to announce that I won a Gold MarCom Award in October 2019, recognized as the best social media influencer building awareness for local businesses. I also received an honorable mention as the most creative social media influencer viral marketing campaign for South Florida businesses without a budget.
The Background Story
A few years ago, when everyone and their mother started claiming to be 'social media experts,' I decided to build my own Instagram account to show prospective clients that I can actually deliver results. Anyone can post content on Instagram; few have the insight and knowledge to grow an account and increase engagement.
Once I hit 10K followers, I was invited to join several influencer agencies. I was given access to free products and services in return for authentic posts if I genuinely like the gifts. When I hit 45K followers, I started getting invited to more events. Introduce my official affiliation with Forbes now as a contributing writer, and we have a whole new level of (online) power.
