Hi everyone! First time poster on this tread but long time lurker!
I find it funny that she claims that she only got work with brands related to motherhood but at the same time she shares so much of it on her account! Being such a PR expert herself
, it is so dumb not to acknowledge the fact that you will get the work that is related to your profile, to what you share mainly, as you are the one that is controlling your feed 90% of the time (although with her, I would say Gleam mainly decides about the ads). I don’t buy the “I said I was pregnant and I started only getting offers from maternity brands” moaning. No, you started sharing that and that lures more brands of that branch wanting to “PRgift” you their stuff, as they saw you sharing your “journey” and thought they could profit from your platform.
If you didn’t want to start being a mummy influencer guess what? You didn’t need to disclose so much about it. YOU are the one in control of your content. No selfies after being sick. No photos involving your (cute) daughter.
But it’s so much easier to blame your lack of non-mummy content on motherhood. No darling, you didn’t work hard enough for all brands to want to work with you regardless of you deciding to be a parent when you’re bored! That’s why you only get ads for brands like that tacky Missoma, which happens due to her management still being Gleam. I honestly don’t know how they still represent her! Their staff probably have to spend 50% more resources on her than all their other influencers combined!
Ahh it felt good to finally say my peace! Sorry for the rant
