‘Tis my birthday. And I’m holed up in isolation. I should have been well on my way to a converted barn in the middle of a Vermont mountain right now, but no, I’m still in my apartment in Jersey City. I mean, I’ve probably had worse birthdays (can’t think of…
We’re all used to our favourite influencers posting outfit pictures on street corners of London, New York and Milan. We enjoy their content showing us the coolest bars and restaurants. We’ve become accustomed to watching them live their best lives on press trips to the Maldives, Hollywood and Ibiza. Given…
How strange a time in which we all now live. Life was pretty normal a few weeks ago. I was out having brunch, exploring New York, going to work, living my life as I had come to know it. But then came this huge curveball that none of us expected…

Probably my biggest pet peeve within the influencer marketing industry is when influencers don’t declare adverts, sponsored posts, affiliate links or if something has been gifted. There has been so much press surrounding this, so much information from the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) and even the general public (who often…
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while or follow me on social media, then you probably know that I am a huge fan of Dermot Kennedy (and his music). However, every time he announced gigs, I was always moving around and uncertain about where I was moving…
