How to Work With Brands – Full Review of Collectively Inc
April 19, 2017
Probably the number one question I get asked on a daily basis is how I work with brands. I’ve talked before about how to reach out to brands and not to wait for opportunities to come to you. My absolute favorite Influencer Agency that I feel like is my hidden secret gem is Collectively Inc. It has allowed me to work with top tier brands. My favorite and “big time” opportunity was also through Collectively Inc when Mark and I traveled to Las Vegas for the Life is Beautiful Festival which was sponsored by Zappos.
I am delighted to announce that Collectively Inc has relaunched their website and I want to help spread the word about my favorite company to work with as a blogger. I have worked with many campaign managers and they are always on the ball. They email me back right away and are very helpful during your collaboration. I have personally met two campaign managers when we were out in Vegas. They were truly sweet and have a passion for their jobs. I have never had a problem with getting paid for my work. I also really like that when you are accepted into a campaign they send over a creative brief that helps give you guidance for what the brand is looking for. If you aren’t sure what a creative brief looks like, for more context, check out these creative brief examples. I usually always have a direction in mind for my work but I do appreciate the spark of inspiration to help get the creative process going.
Here are some highlights of the opportunities that I have been able to have while being an Influencer for Collectively Inc. One of my favorite retailers is Zappos and I have had multiple campaigns and have expanded my reach as a reputable Digital Influencer by these opportunities.
With another opportunity through Zappos, Mark and I were flown out to Las Vegas for the Life is Beautiful. Did you know that Zappos was based out in Las Vegas?
I have also worked with other great brands such as Sally Hansen, Olly Nutrition, Living Proof, Keds, Lucky Brand, and many others.
Being able to work with Collectively Inc has allowed me to work with top tier brands that I most likely would not have had the opportunity to on my own. If you are looking to expand your reach and work with big brands, I would recommend becoming part of the network. I am so excited for their relaunch as an Influencer Agency and know that they are going to continue leading the way in the brand/influencer movement.
