Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Christine Grippi @Grippstarr

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

Hey there, my name is Christine and I am from a little town in Missouri called Saint Charles! Even though I am from a small town, I have lived in various cities across the US such as LA, Fort Lauderdale and I have lived internationally in London as well! Right now I reside in Las Vegas (crazy I know, I never thought that I would have lived here either) haha. I am currently a tour management consultant for brands that are trying to make themselves go viral on college campuses! Companies come to me when they want to make their product more apparent to the masses at universities. I have traveled to over 100 universities within the past two years both nationally and internationally for two different social media apps!
I also adore working out, going to music festivals and hanging out with positive people in my spare time!

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

I post inspirational fitness photos the most because I feel as though you cannot be your highest self without physical exercise. For me, I feel way better physically and emotionally when I workout. Whether it’s at a gym or hiking, or doing that boxing class you have always wanted to try, or yoga, I motivate people to try new things and get that exercise in!!!! It’s so important to me to be healthy and try to motivate others to be as well.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My sorority sisters in college would always call me that! I was always a happy and positive person that made people laugh so I guess they thought I was a star within our own little friend group. In the most unegotistical way to say that ha!

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

I honestly just like the filters Instagram has! I’ve tried using other apps but I always feel like I look fake or unnatural you could call it.

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

I know this sounds so generic but I always look forward to seeing TheFatJewish post because not only is he always ahead of the trends on the most popular content to date, his explainations of the memes or content is ALWAYS on point with his personality and he doesn’t change for anybody!!!!!!!!

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

To go out there and travel!!!! Try out a new destination! Whether it’s a state right next to your own or across the globe! Get out of your comfort zone because that’s when you find out about yourself the most!!! Traveling is so important! You’re only in this world one time so why not see what it has to offer! And maybe along the way do some physical activity by running that new beach or hiking that exotic mountain at sunrise! ?

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

My favorite part is encouraging others to be the best versions of themselves they can be. Everyone can always uplevel themselves in some way. There’s always something new to learn or try out, you just have to give yourself the opportunity to do just that!! It makes life way more enjoyable and having that bit of mystery in your life makes it that much more of an unforeseen adventure!!! ??

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

One of the top tips is to figure out who your true target market is. It’s easier to market to people when you know who you are marketing to. Maintaining authenticity is easy if you believe in your brand and passion projects. When you’re behind what you’re doing, it’s easy to be open, honest and straightforward about the brand that you’re inspiring others to be taking into their lives. So onto others as you would do onto yourself!

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

Post about your passions from your heart. That’s about as quality as you can get!

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

I love working with other brands because it allows you both to spread the message at a faster rate. I only deal with brands that are spreading positivity and trying to motivate others for the better, so the faster we can spread positivity, the better!!!!! Plus, you get to make great friends along the way and learn more about yourself through the process ?
