Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Fatboi Tendencies @Fatboitendencies

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

Jess and Christie, from central and northern New Jersey in the United States, met and became friends as college freshman at the University of Scranton in 2010. Through the years they have shared their enthusiasm for food, drink, and humor, and on March 11th 2016, @FatboiTendencies was born. Their posts are known for puns, dad jokes, pop culture references, as well as foods that may be bad for you but are pleasing to both your eyes and tastebuds.

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

We run a food blog, fatboitendencies.wordpress.com, and contribute to girlsonfood.net. Therefore we post mostly about food! We include posts about food events, recipes, good news, and other finds!

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Christie came up with “Fatboi” as an endearing nickname for our friends, inspired by our eating habits. The rest came later on because we are quite literally, documenting our “Fatboi Tendencies”.

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

We love the VSCO, LiveCollage and Photofy apps for editing our photos. The Quik app is amazing for video. The Boomerang is great for creating gifs!

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

We love the food instagrammers: Foodagrammerz, foodporndaily1, boys.who.brunch, popeyethefoodie, pizza, infatuation, thrillist, and love_food.

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

We’re new to campaigning but excited to learn!

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

It is important to put forward your best quality content in everything you do. With this industry there is a lot of repetition, so it’s important to stand out and push the envelope!

It’s exciting to be able to speak on brands that we really care about.
