Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Merideth Morgan @meridethmorgan

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

Hi! I’m Merideth, a curvy fashion and fitness influencer. I’m also a model and actor and fashion stylist. I’ve worked on a number of music videos, advertising campaigns and private clients. I come from a very small town in Massachusetts. I’m a former collegiate basketball and softball player, so being active and fit is super important to me!

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

I’m a size 10. I have a small waist and wide hips. I encourage all women to love their curves all while staying healthy/active. I consider myself to be an “inbetweener,” not small size and not plus size. But I’m right smack dab in the middle, an unfamiliar and foreign place that often doesn’t get talked about. I do not see myself represented in main stream media. So, my main topic of interest is building a world for those of us that are “inbetweeners.”

I mainly post fashion and fitness photographs or videos.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I am my own brand, so that’s how it came about! I heard many years ago advice from a world famous designer that we should always brand ourselves, as ourselves. It’s always best to have our own name associated with your company. I thought that was sound advice!

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

I’m a photographer at heart, so I typically edit my photos in Photoshop. I don’t edit body part or blemishes. I focus on making the photo pop with color and contrast.

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

I don’t love just one instagrammer. I follow a lot of women who are strong and independent, who love their bodies in all their glory. Women who support women, who work out, who are positive and transparent, women of all shapes and sizes who love fashion are the Instagrammers that I love the most!

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

A hiit class in a hot yoga room! I’ve been taking this class (when funds allow) on Saturday mornings. It’s an intense workout, plus you sweat out every toxin your body has. It’s the most incredible feeling and sensation in the world. I feel completely and totally cleansed when I leave!

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

Having an impact. Being able to inspire people. Being able to make people feel good. For sure, hands down, best part of being an influencer.

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

I think I have something a lot of people don’t have. I create most of my own content. I shoot myself. I am the creative director of all my shoots. I create art when creating my photos. I think that’s what keeps me authentic. I’m a little fish in a big ocean but my interactions are high and I’m proud of that. My tips to top brands is to see if the influencers you’re working with have authentic following.

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

This is the most important and the thing I focus on the most. Quality is SO important. Original content nowadays is hard to come by. Being inspired by others is one thing, but stealing ideas and recreating the same thing is another. I see it happen all the time. I just focus on what I’m doing and use my creative mind to create content rather than taking from someone else. I’m all about authenticity.

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

I love trying out new products and suggesting the products to my readers. My goal is always to help someone in whatever way I can, and partnering with brands makes that all possible. Changing things up and having new things to show and tell keeps things exciting and new.
