Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Ariana @ariana_marie

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Im an Australian model and blogger, currently living in melbourne.
I grew up on the gold coast and from a young age I loved taking photos and art as well as modelling. The combination of these passions helped me create my Instagram into the platform it is today. Its not so much a social network but more like a creative outlet for myself & I am proud of my posts.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

I mainly post pictures from recent shoots/ work that Ive been involved in as well as my day-to-day life activities, travels and fashion picks.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Its my first and middle name! I like to keep it simple

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I edit my pictures with the app called VSCO, I use the same filter for almost all of my pictures and thats about it.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

My favourtie instagrams are usually the cute animal pages but I also love anyone in the fashion industry and travel bloggers. I couldn’t name just one!

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

When you see a photo on your feed that you love, let the person know that you like it & give feedback. You never know what someone is going through and its always nice to make someone else’s day.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

I love creating unique content and having a little piece of me in every project I do with a company. I also like planning posts and making the effort to portray their work as best as I can in my own style. To me its not advertising, its creative and its fun

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Find your niche and own style and start off with that. Peoples interests are always changing but don’t change, grow. Always stay unique and authentic to what the brand is but slightly enhancing and growing to stay relevant.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

being original is so important, people follow you because they like what you post and want to see more of what you have to offer. If you copy someone or become too mainstream it gets boring and then you’re just like everyone else – which is no fun at all.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

The best part is being able to work together to create something that is going to potentially grow or bring attention to the product/ company. I love to create the posts with my own style and have found its the most effective way as it makes it authentic & engaging.
