"When I made use of to carry out tv, the only option I had was actually whether to carry out or not perform the add. Brands primarily counted on printing and also television, and also as a star, it was about taking what came your way," she detailed. Along with the surge of electronic systems, that formula has actually changed dramatically." When YouTube went along, we found a switch in exactly how brand names approached web content.

I need to have to be reliable and trustworthy. Brand names can easily trust me to capture their essence and exemplify them authentically.".
