You will need to think out-of-the-box and be innovative. Building a brand is an ongoing process, so get the creative mindset from the outset, and you will reap the benefits in the future....

Regulatory bodies, such as the FTC, have a firm eye on influencer campaigns, too. They are scrutinizing influencer marketing for any misleading or illegal practices. That is not to say that influencer marketing is tricky. It just means that you should follow a relatively clear list of influencer marketing best practices. This ensures that all parts of your influencer campaigns are carried out ethically and above board. It also leaves you free from any accusations of improper practice....

It was quite an awkward, and slightly terrifying encounter when Jenny Slatten of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way finally met Sumit’s wife in person. The meeting came after her boyfriend kept his marriage a secret during a large chunk of their relationship. Jenny and Sumit originally met on Facebook after Sumit catfished the 60-year-old. Jenny was under the impression that she befriended a twenty-something-year-old model named Michael Jones, who looked nothing like Sumit....

What is a Personal Brand Statement? Your personal brand statement is basically a catchphrase that says something about your expertise and what makes you unique. It gives people a quick glance into what you can do, so they’ll be able to understand how you can be of benefit to them. And if it’s catchy enough, that’s how people are going to recognize and remember you. It can be challenging to come up with a compelling personal brand statement....

Melisandre, one of the most compelling characters in the Game of Thrones series of books by George R. R. Martin, maneuvered and influenced the noble houses of Westeros with a cunning practicality. A red priestess that worshipped the Lord of Light, she wormed her way into Stannis Baratheon’s bed chamber and from there, into a position of authority over his machinations to sit on the Iron Throne. She had seen a prophecy that foretold him being Azor Ahai, the Prince Who Had Been Promised, a savior of Westeros 5,000 years in the making....

When watching a film about Iron Man and Captain America trying to knock each other senseless, viewers probably don’t expect the plot to include commentary on the social issues that afflict modern society. Although superhero movies may seem like they’re all CGI and special effects, many of the recent Marvel films have touched on deeper themes, with issues like racism, mental health and propaganda explored within the plot. Between the alien battles and the talking raccoons, it can be easy to overlook the deeper morals of Marvel movies, but they’re there, hiding beneath every Arc Reactor and Infinity Stone....

For weeks, the popular reality show teased Juliana’s purchase on Michael’s card. Each time he spoke of her and their trials and tribulations completing the K-1 visa process, the matter of her car soon followed....

There are many reasons why 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s Ronald and Tiffany didn’t last. Sure, it looked like they had a love for the ages, but in the end, Maryland-native Tiffany was just too evolved for the relationship with her South African husband. Tiffany met Ronald on a trip to South Africa. She explained on the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off that she had never experienced the type of chemistry she had with him....

This is particularly the case for influencers and brands. In both cases, the quality of their following matters very much. Ultimately brands are only in the social space to strike a dialogue with their customers and potential clients. Their work with influencers has the same overall goal. There is little point in having followers who are not part of their target market. It is perhaps less crucial for non-commercially minded influencers....
