Why didn't you tell them you're VIP on TATTLE?
this! It’s as if he’s manifesting brand deals by pretending they’re getting them. Also it’s kind of like what those vile abusive men do to dupe women into feeling safe with them, show case oh but I’m friends with xyz! If brands think they’re in the clear to work with them again cos xyz have, they’ll attract more. When the reality is he’s received a bog standard discount in exchange for images & the cheese cakes were gifted to his mateYeah I don't trust Simon to declare properly, including making a regular discount sound like some kind of special PR deal. Him trying to barter a deal because of hisbotsfollowing definitely sounds like something he (or Clemmie) would do though, I agree!
God never thought of that! I’ll hit them with that next time, or maybe tell them I’m gonna tell my dad on themWhy didn't you tell them you're VIP on TATTLE?
I read an article a while ago where high end brands were frustrated that random people tagged them in an attempt to make it look like there was an association/collaboration in order to attract paid partnerships/free stuff.
It’s like Influencing for Beginners. (Or Dummies.)
Also see: Simon and the discounted stair runner.
This has reminded me that porcelain superstore offer you a 5% discount if you leave a review, as do Adidas, which is basically the same mechanism. I’m now an Adidas sponsored athlete in FOD’s world?Hes definitely exaggerating. I ordered floors the other day and the nice man knocked 10% off at the till. I wouldnt dream of calling that a #PRSample which implies of course the brand contacted you to help promote them.
Hes hoping by #prsample-ing it he will sound like he has clout and reach and more freebies will follow.
Also, the lines in the runner against the tiles in the floor make me feel dizzy, they are like those pictures stoned teenagers stare at.
Story time. My friend ( ) has an art/craft type instagram, nothing to do with selling, nothing to do with influencing. In the beginning they used to hashtag (not @-mention) the brands of the tools and materials they used, partly because it's frequently asked in their circle and partly because it just seemed like relevant hashtags for what they were producing.I read an article a while ago where high end brands were frustrated that random people tagged them in an attempt to make it look like there was an association/collaboration in order to attract paid partnerships/free stuff.
IMO it's just them. I don't see the hallmarks of a brand consultant, I would expect a noticeable upturn in slickness and professionalism if that were the case. I do think they may have had help originally setting up House of Horrors with the logos, theme etc. I also think they may recently have been scattergunning brands and key people in the home decor world trying to get their house back out there.Do we reckon they’ve employed a brand consultant or are they trying to claw back their careers on their own? I can’t decide which option is more tragic to be honest...
While some of these Insta interiors are so overdone I wouldn’t trust the man from Roofing Megastore??? Or the woman from Wayfair. Funny she’s trying to sell us American trends like chunky corduroy. Another fluff catcher...Saw this on the Daily Fail and had to laugh. LOLOLOL! We knew this ages ago, but it's nice to have confirmation :- D
I really don’t see any brand consultant approving that kind of content. Not a chance. They’re on their own and it’s tragic.Do we reckon they’ve employed a brand consultant or are they trying to claw back their careers on their own? I can’t decide which option is more tragic to be honest...
He also has a singing part now.I can’t look - i just can’t!
I could only briefly scroll over your screen shots @rainbowlemon and it made me queasy
With insta if your friends with someone their friends and contacts will be recommend to you too as accounts to follow.I can’t look - i just can’t!

I have a “reno” account because the people who did my work surfaces asked me to tag them on my Instagram as I was the first person in the country to have this new Dexton. Then the Crittal people did, then the tiling company, then the decorator etc etc. I wasn’t gonna do that on my personal one cos I’d already done a piss take of our reno on there and it wasn’t gonna be a good look.
I thought this has to be easier than writing a review, just pop a few photos up, job done. so I set it up reno acc thinking it would be private and nobody but me and the people I tagged would know anything about it (honestly I’m that naive on insta), some how my followers (friends and family) on my original account started sending follower requests...I’m like duck! Didn’t realise they are linked some how! Given I constantly take the piss out of influencers on my personal account I got lots of questions off my friends asking if I was becoming an influencer. Then people who saw the tag wanted to follow me and im like Noooooo! This is not the intention fuckers! So now it’s just one of my burners don’t post anything and don’t tag anyone!
He looks completely deranged in these stories.I really don’t see any brand consultant approving that kind of content. Not a chance. They’re on their own and it’s tragic.
