Brand Ambassador - Finding Zest

My favorite partnerships are those that build longer term relationships. I love working with brands, especially those that allow me to be creative. I enjoy tailoring my writing to my family and our lifestyle to create a more organic post that is helpful and entertaining. Trying new approaches to share experiences and information with readers is also fun for me!

Why Work with Me?

I put time and effort into every post, and I love going the extra mile for both readers and sponsors. It is just a part of who I am. That means you’ll always find plenty of personal pictures and detail!

Let’s Connect!

If you also value these types of partnerships and think your brand is a good fit for my blog, please reach out. I’m also open to coordinate blogger campaigns for you! Click here to contact me via email or fill out my contact form.

Feel free to browse my current and past ambassadorships, travel and longer term partnerships below to get a sense for what I might be able to do for you!

In July 2015, I once again joined the Kraft Tastemakers for a long term partnership to share fun and easy recipes on the Kraft Blog. You can see my published posts here.

In May 2015 I became a REAL Dairy Diva to promote the REAL Seal brand label and share my love of dairy as part of a 8 month partnership.

I love being on the Johnson’s Baby Cares Council and am on my fourth year as member. In August and September of 2013, I had so much fun with a “My First Haircut” photo contest.

After a long partnership with Pampers on my blog, in early fall of 2013 I was invited to officially join the Pampers Baby Board. I have been a brand loyal shopper of Pampers and even after trying out other brands on my blog, I always went back to buying Pampers. I’m thrilled to join this fabulous group of moms on the board!

In May 2014, I became a Tommee Mommee to help promote the Tommee Tippee brand. So far, this has largely been through social media.

Past Partnerships

My long-term relationship with Wilton began in 2009 and by 2010 I was a Wilton Mom Ambassador. (Scroll down to see additional posts from that program.) The Wilton Sweet Treat Team began in February 2014, and I participated in this new program for a year.

In October 2014, my husband and I were invited on 5 day Caribbean Cruise as part of media trip with Princess Cruises. We had a blast! Besides sharing the experience on social media, I was commissioned for six posts related to or inspired by the trip.

In August 2014, I was invited to Sanibel, Florida for a #SavedbytheShell campaign from The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel. My husband and I experienced a long weekend on the island and shared our adventures via social media and in a post on my blog. We really fell in love with this area!

In June 2014, my family and I were invited on board the Disney Dream to experience the magic of a Disney cruise! It was an unforgettable experience that I shared on social media, blog posts and a video interview.

In February 2014, I began a six month partnership with Finish and joined the Finish Power & Free Alliance of Moms to bring awareness to this newer product. I was happy to partner since Finish is my usual dishwashing detergent.

I’ve worked with Kraft for years and in early 2013, I was asked to be one of their Kraft Tastemakers through a year long partnership! I love to cook and bake so was a great opportunity for me to work with such a well-known brand.
