How to respond to brands with care

YOU KNOW IM SPICY — but I wouldn’t have a positive reputation in this business if I didn’t approach the spicy conversations with care 😜

What I mean is, I do believe in treating the person on the other side of the e-mail with a little more humanity while standing firm in my worth or point of view.

I think of each moment as one where I can educate the brand or their representatives (when an agency is managing the campaign).

Not just because you never know where that person is going next or because I’m trying to be some sort of faux “nice,” but because I believe engaging in this dialogue helps us prevent sticky conversations from happening in the future — and prevents the next creator being taken advantage of.

And frankly, it’s how some of my best relationships have been built with brand peeps after we’ve had some engaging dialogue about rates and better ways of working with Creators.

Fighting the urge to scream via e-mail? Don’t worry — helping you turn that around is my speciality and this FRIDAY you’ll get access to a handy helper for that.

If you’ve ever fought the urge to scream, give me a big ol’ YUUUUUP 👇

Oh and disclaimer: there’s nothing wrong with cursing, you know that’s my third language haha

Filming this took a few minutes, then we move into adding text, caption, and my cover photo. This was filmed on TT using the “slow zoom” effect — no editing.
