Focusing her Instagram theme
“I started becoming more prominent on Instagram when I decided to change my profile completely. I started uploading photos of fashion garments food and scenery shots and saw my followers rise. I see myself continuing this profile and hopefully gaining more followers as the year goes on.”

How social boosters want to work with brands
62
TRUST THEM - they will build trust for you
“Give the instagrammer control of what we can post so it's authentic. If people are sold to they don't like it. They want to trust us.” Dominica, 30
“Allow us to follow our own ideas in incorporating brands into a post. It needs to fit with our aesthetic.” Nikolina, 22
Boosters are not looking for one night content stands
63
Partnership – opportunity to work longer term“I would like brands to create longer term relationships so our audiences feel consistency” Lauren, 32
“It’d be great if brands make it an ongoing partnership and engage with the person they are partnering with.” Mell, 24
Brands that do this well
64
Birkenstock & @fionaandbobby“We have worked with Birkenstock footwear and have been great -providing footwear for our adventures around Bali - trusting in our vision to promote their brand on our explorations. We love their products and have promoted their brand and service through our account through photography. We've had a great working relationship with them so far.”

5 things to take away from todays presentation
1. Use Social Boosters to scale social impact
2. Boosters are only part of the influence picture
3. Find the right fit for your brand and message
4. Think long-term relationship not paid per post
5. Think beyond the influencer to who you are hoping to influence
