Being Part of a Larger Campaign

Having connected with many brands small and large on various projects and shoots I find the campaign work the most engaging. If your goal is to get a larger reach, which many of us want, then using larger brands might be the way to do that. Having made a few connections with larger companies such as General Electric, Daniel Wellington Watches and Pepsi I have been able to be part of a larger paid campaigns to post to my account. These larger projects give me accessibility to work with a big brand while also getting noticed on a much wider scale. I usually ask for a repost on their larger accounts in the terms so I get the extra exposure or in some cases I will ask to get a chance to do a takeover their account to have a maximum view on my page and work.

The end result is quite impactful but it takes persistence and always engaging with these brands to recognize you, by far the hardest part. Tips to do so might be to always comment on each new post or sending the messages to see if they are interested in working together. In the case they say no thanks, reiterate the strength of working with better talent for content that can garner better engagement. If they simply say maybe at a later date, go for asking what dates would work better and how you can do something better.

Shot below is for Daniel Wellington Watches. Yes, it was shot with a DSLR rather than my iPhone but in the end this post received high engagement and was reposted by the brand mentioning me. At first though none of my shots were welcomed to get reposted but an email to the marketing manager in charge quickly changed her mind and a reply of "everyone involved absolutely loved this shot!" giving it a little bust.
