Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Emily Holgate @earth_emily

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

I am 18 years old, from a small town called Woodend in Victoria, Australia. I have just finished high school and am now moving on to bigger and better things. I’m hoping to study creative writing at university this year and also travel when I can, as in the future I hope to become a travel writer/blogger and YouTube my travels also.

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

I’m very interested in health, food & fitness, and the majority of my Instagram photos are food photography. Although when I travel, I post travel photos as well, so hopefully in the future it can become more of a food/travel Instagram. I am also a vegan and love sharing how easy & delicious a vegan lifestyle can be for a young, budgeting student like myself.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My name “earth Emily” originated when I became vegan, and this became more in touch with my passion for saving the environment, and yoga, meditation, etc. As I became more in touch with myself I became more in touch with the earth and I wanted a name that promotes the lifestyle I live by; a lifestyle that benefits the earth rather than harms it.

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

I take my photos with either my iPhone 6s or my Nikon D5500 camera. I edit using the Instagram app, changing the sharpness, contrast, brightness etc, but not adding filters.

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

I am really inspired by @agirlnamedally for her compassionate lifestyle as well as her love for travel. Other instagrammers include @annietarasova & @earthlingmaxi.

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

Going vegetarian or vegan, even for a week! If you do it right, it is such a healthy lifestyle to lead and saves the lives of so many animals as well as the environment.

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

I love when people share their health stories with me, and how I inspired them, and I love being apart of other people’s journey, helping them in any way I can.

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

By choosing companies that align with the page, and by promoting products the instagrammer loves rather than for the sake of the campaign.

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

It is so important to be original, as it allows your success to be more authentic and real, when people are following you for YOU, not just a persona you created.

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

Being able to share my love for awesome products and try out amazing things.
