my food lens podcast episode

In this week’s podcast, I asked one of my clients to join me to talk all about social media influencers! A chance to ask all of those burning questions and to understand what brands are looking for when working with influencers. 

Walking the talk 

I am in awe of my wonderful client, Katherine Braha, who runs a business truly in line with her values. A vegan for many years, Katherine certainly brings her personality to the brand. 

A joint owner of SaladStop! a family-run business, Katherine Braha has helped expand across Asia by overseeing all aspects of marketing, product development, and training.

Katherine’s background as a brand ambassador for companies such as Body Shop, along with her experience in the Food & Beverage industry has made her a force to be reckoned with! 

And I just loved hearing, from a client’s perspective, about what they look for in influencers. Just gold.
