Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Alva Göransson @alvagoranssons

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

My name is Alva Göransson, I’m a seventeen year old artist that drives my own business. I’m studying high school in a town called Luleå, which is about a 50 minute drive from the town where I live – Piteå. Piteå is a really small town in the north of Sweden. Art is my main topic in school. I’ve always felt like an entrepreneur and artist at heart. Currently, I’m creating wineglasses with my own artwork. It’s amazing to live out such a large dream at my age. The most incredible thing about being an artist and entrepreneur is that I’m allowed to create my own business opportunities while creating art, I can always create a new product with my art – the possibilities are endless.

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

I mainly post pictures related to my art and business. Of course, like an other instagrammer nowadays, I use Instagram to connect with others and to document my everyday life. Sometimes I post furniture since I’m interested in room decor as well. But I try to mainly post art and my business life!

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Hmm.. Well my name is Alva Goransson, so it came out pretty natural *laughs*.

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

I actually use Instagram filters and edit them manually. I often end up changing lightning and shadows. I think it works all fine!

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

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

I think creating and challenging yourself. And I also want to encourage young women like me to DARE TO BE AFRAID – life starts at the end of your comfort zone.

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

I think the best part is being able to reach out to people and inspire them.

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

The most important thing for a brand is finding – who will buy this? What kind of person would be interested in buying this product? When you know that, it will be much more easy to figure out how to run your campaign. For example, your product is simplifying drinking water with your new super easy water bottle.. well, drinking water is important for everyone, but maybe you should focus on people that work out a lot? Maybe take a picture of a person that’s using the product at the gym. Be creative and close to your costumers!

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

Just be you, no one else can be you so post content close to yourself. 🙂

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

The best part is feeling the value of being chosen for a campaign and the excitement, because no campaign is another alike. It’s a lot of fun!
