Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Ady Wright @verbalgoldblog

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

My name is Ady and I’m the founder and editor of Verbal Gold Blog. I have a team of over 20 girls that contribute to the blog who are apart of our #VGBsquad! I live the mad men dream by day working in advertising and I’m a blogger by night. I’m what they call a serial entrepreneur. I also have a social media growth business where I help companies and brands increase their engagement. I’m working on starting a business and building an app. Busy chasing dreams and helping other people grow!

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

We are a group of besties, some new, some old, from all over the Globe. So if you came to play with us on insta and became part of our #VGBsquad you’d see travel inspiration, lifestyle, advice, decor and more!

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Well my friends and I are suuuuper sarcastic and witty some times smart assy. lol So every time we’d say something funny someone would say, that’s Verbal Gold! And so Verbal Gold Blog was born and from there our social channels where we get to let loose!

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

Oh the secret sauce! My go to apps are a ColorStory and FaceTune. I typically brighten and lighten my photos but I say away from filters! Those are a no no.

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

There are so many! I love love love Meredith from Cake and Confetti, Kiersten from The Blonde Abroad, and Sophie from Sophlog. We have an amazing community and I love being a part of it!

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

Don’t understand this question soooo…. pass. Unless it’s travel or coffee then those are my answers.

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

Connecting with other creative weirdos, entrepreneurs, and bad ass boss babes!

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

You have to be authentic and keep it 100. It’s about the photo but it’s also about the story behind it. To be genuine and let your “friends” in you have to tell a story!

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

It’s so important. You want to tell your own story and represent your brand, not take someone else’s. A quality story paired with a quality image is fire. It will go so much further than an insincere image and caption.

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

Personally, I like the street cred. I love the credit and the feeling that knowing your content was good enough to be featured. It’s such a major accomplishment like a notch in your belt or a pat on the back. I think wow and then it immediately motivates me to do better and more! Major key!
