The important role of influencers in growing a natural brand

Making an authentic impact: The important role of influencers

With more products than ever now launching direct to consumer, influencers are increasingly significant. In this Natural Products Expo West 2019 deeper dive into the social media conversation, New Hope Network’s Jessie Shafer gives an overview of her new company role in cultivating and creating a network of influencers, then introduces us to two such visionaries that share different perspectives about working with brands.

“My audience’s trust in me is so important that I really don’t want to risk that in any way … I would rather make my money in different ways instead of just depending on sponsorship.”

— Michelle Tam, Nom Nom Paleo
