Influencer Spotlight: September
Meet Jaymee, from @jaymeesire
How long have you been a Foodie Tribe member?
Over a year!
How did you get into influencer marketing?
For me, influencer marketing sort of happened by accident. I worked at ESPN for 4 years as an anchor for SportsCenter. In April of 2017, I was part of a mass layoff and I took it as an opportunity to pivot into food television. Freelance TV is a new thing for me, with fluctuations in job opportunities and pay. Influencer marketing allows me to supplement my income doing something I love: cooking and developing recipes. The best part? I get to be creative, work from home and collaborate with my boyfriend (who is a professional photographer)!
What has been your favorite Foodie Tribe campaign that you've worked on and why?
I loved working on New Zealand Lamb & Beef! As someone who grew up on a cattle farm in Montana, this campaign was near and dear to my heart. I recreated one of my favorite restaurant burgers in NYC, so it was as delicious as it was fun!
Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I’m also an instructor on the Food Network Kitchen cooking app! I love it because I love teaching, and I love connecting with people through the lens of a camera.
Anything else you want to share?
My dream is to someday host my own food or travel show. Keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for me!
Meet Jourdan, from @district_foodie
How long have you been a part of Foodie Tribe?
2-3 years? Time flies!
How did you get into influencer marketing?
After starting my account and having a lot of continuous content, it started to become a platform where I could influence. I honestly had no intention of it becoming what it is today, but I am so happy that it has.
What has been your favorite Foodie Tribe campaign that you've worked on and why?
I think Ruth Chris! Because it gave me an excuse to go to a fancy restaurant in the middle of the work week!
Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I am about to finish getting my MBA!!!! Also, my mom went into labor with me at a Bruce Springsteen concert!!
