Client Commentary
We originally reached out to Justin and Erica for our Waterloo Whole30 campaign because of their Whole30 dedicated page, but we also loved that in addition to their food posts, they show the faces behind the camera and give their followers a glimpse into their personal lives. We strive to hire influencers like this because of the real connection they’ve created with their followers, which in turn builds trust. Their sponsored posts come off as less of a transaction and more of a “sneak peek” into something they love so much they just had to share.
Justin and Erica were wonderful to work with on this campaign – they followed campaign guidelines, submitted content in a timely matter, created content that was unique, fun, and engaging, and were always pleasant and easy to communicate with! They provided value to this campaign not only by creating great content, but also by engaging with their followers on their posts. Justin and Erica were so great at responding to follower questions and giving recommendations, which is vital when sharing a new product. We would absolutely work with them again!
