Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Stefan Maric @thestefanization

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

Hi there,
I am fashion/ travel influencer from Belgrade, Serbia. Recently I started writting blog about my travels and it was more then successful. I have collaborated with many brands by now such as Daniel Wellington, Gagliardi, Phillip Stein etc.

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

My main topics are travel and fashion. I like combining those two and creating amazing fashionable posts in different parts of the world.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My name came completely accidentally. Ten years ago I created my youtube channel. Every single username I tried was taken, so yt suggested several and I was blown away by “thestefanization”. Since then I protected it and used in every single platform and now it is on the way to become brand as well. 🙂

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

Most of my photos are professionaly edited By photographers. And they mostly use Photoshop. I personally really like lightroom and I only use that app.

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

I am obsessed with Tamara Kalinic Who has made it so far in her carrier. I really like her story in particular becase it just shows how a person from a small place can get far with hard work and talent.

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

I am pretty sure my fellow instagrammers are killing the game right now, so there is not much I can teach them. Lol 😀

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

I love helping people reach brands that might not be fully aware of, who are really good and deserve audiences attention.

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

Choose only the influencers that really represent your brand in best way possible. That is only way to stay authentic.

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

Quality and originality are super important. That is the only thing that separates you from thousands of influencers out there. You alway have to invent fresh ideas on how to make authentic post and reach the audience.

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

I like the whole idea of me offering to my audience something I really like and use. It feels more personal than some tv add. And I like the fact that I can choose who I am going to work with, since I am not accepting products I do not like or believe in.
