Not officially. And here’s why that’s a great thing. The women that read my blog and visit Hurray Kimmay are not models either. I’m encouraging non model women to love their non model bodies, because I’m a non model. I have plenty of experience in front of the camera (especially on TV and wearing my swimsuit in O Magazine!) but modeling is not my profession. Though my current body measurements and age suggest that I am “too big and too old” to be a model, I love my body. And I absolutely love encouraging women to love their non model bodies right along with me!

You’ll provide the chosen products in my size, and mail them to or drop them off at my office in NYC. Products must be received no later than two weeks before the trip dates. If these are samples or we agree they are on loan, I will mail them back to the week of my return.

Did you know that I am the lingerie expert and fashion writer for LiveAbout.com? Hurray! The #HurrayVacay images are intended for use on Hurray Kimmay and on social media, first and foremost. While there is no guarantee how or if these images and your product will be showcased on LiveAbout.com, I often share them there if they fit into the content plan and monthly pitches. This is a perk, not a guarantee.

By social mentions, I mean I will be sending out a Tweet, Facebook post, Instagram post, or Pinterest pin as @hurraykimmay on your behalf. Most, where characters allow, will tag directly to you. All will have a call to action to view, stay tuned, or shop with a link. They’ll be using both images from our campaign, casual phone photos, and images from your site. I’ll divide up the posts based on where your brand likes to participate, and where my readers like to click.

Insta-stories, which “disappear” and get many views, are created separately 🙂 Each will tag your Instagram account.

I encourage you to share the content, for sure! This is a full marketing campaign, designed to provide assets for you to share and along with my participation and endorsement. You can share the images that I create for the campaign publicly on your site, link to the video on your blog, show the blog posts in your newsletter, etc. Use these assets as you want, as long as you provide credit to the campaign and myself, and do not mislead consumers about my endorsement of your brand or product. There are a few rules about what you can or can not do with my image (I’m pretty particular when it comes to photoshopping my body or putting my image in a particularly unflattering or unethical situation) and I intentionally partner with brands who share my values and understand my moral standings on purpose 😉 Hurray!

As part of the “brief” package, the giveaway is the BEST way to drive traffic to your site and gather email addresses for your list! It will run for a full month sometime after my return from the trip, with constant promotion and supporting marketing materials and posts to get people to enter and win! We will pick the exact dates together, to make sure the promotion time meets your marketing needs.

Because my readers are of all different ages and sizes, a gift certificate is a popular giveaway item. Or, non sized items and packages. I suggest that the giveaway retail price total be between $100 and $500. It will be provided by you, directly to the winner. I use Rafflecopter to collect entries and pick a winner. Entries are mostly accrued on Instagram, commenting on a blog post, or signing up for a newsletter. We can choose the entry methods based on your brand’s goals.

I’m especially looking to partner with brands that carry or make:

• swimsuits
• loungewear
• fitness or yoga attire
• sunglasses or hats
• travel accessories
• boho style clothing and accessories
• lingerie and intimates

Any other ideas? Pitch me! I’m open to your ideas.
