Some tips for running campaigns are stick to brands you truly know and trust. It is hard when you are just beginning because you want to say yes to everything to help promote yourself. However that can end up being time consuming and you end up with a lot of “junk” in your home or apartment.

I also make sure that it will align with my own beliefs and guidelines I have set for my own brand!
