How do you emphasize your uniqueness and really stand out when you approach a brand and begin forming those all-important relationships?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nFirst off, I only work with brands that resonate with me. Brands that are a natural fit because I love their products and already use them. I often share why I have an affinity to the brand, why I love it and why it\u2019s such a natural fit.\r\n\r\nI really don\u2019t like forcing something that doesn\u2019t work because it becomes really obvious to everyone and honestly, it makes my job that much harder.\r\n\r\nMake sure you do your research so you know what\u2019s important to the brand, take a look at the platforms they are on and what they are sharing. What are they promoting right now? Be sure to share what you\u2019re noticing and leverage what they are focused on when you approach them.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3879 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/MM-Julie-Tran-Deily-307x460.jpg\" alt=\"Julie Deily\" width=\"307\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/MM-Julie-Tran-Deily-307x460.jpg 307w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/MM-Julie-Tran-Deily-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/MM-Julie-Tran-Deily-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/MM-Julie-Tran-Deily.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/>\r\n<h3><strong>How do you pivot from a brand \u2018no\u2019 to a pitch?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nNo one likes to hear the word no. One thing that I have learned that has helped me is to not take a no personally. There are so many reasons why a brand might say no to you, one huge reason is budget.\r\n\r\nWhen you get a no, take it gracefully. Thank them for their time. Never never be rude when they tell you no, that\u2019s a 100% guarantee that they will never work with you.\r\n\r\nIf you really want to work with them in the future, keep in touch with them on social media and via email.\r\n\r\nAlso, don\u2019t look at the no as a door closing, look at it as an opportunity to work on something else or even work with another brand.\r\n<h3><strong>A real hot button topic around the industry right now is the shift in the relationship between brand and content creator along with the ways in which brands are working with bloggers. Would you talk to us about what change you\u2019re seeing and share any ideas on how we need to adapt to stay relevant and hireable?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nOf course we\u2019re seeing a lot of requests for video content and seeing more and more requests for social only posts. I\u2019m also seeing more requests from brands through different networks.\r\n\r\nI think it\u2019s important for us to adapt to the changing landscape, pay attention to the changes. But don\u2019t feel like you have to do everything that everyone else is doing. I\u2019m definitely not the blogger who does something just because another blogger is doing it. I think in order for us to stay relevant, we need to do what works for our brands and what works for us personally.\r\n\r\n<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
