The book is officially launched and for those of you who have your copy of Winfluence - Reframing Influencer Marketing to Ignite Your Brand, you’ve probably started in on the book and know the name Tiffany Mitchell now. Her story of the now infamous motorcycle accident opens the book. 
To catch those of you up who haven’t yet read her story in the book, Tiffany is Tifforelie online. Her Instagram account has over 200,000 followers. She’s a lifestyle influencer, photographer and artist who has passionate, loyal fans, primarily because she is so very vulnerable with the ups and downs of her life. 
The motorcycle accident I write more about in the book was controversial because the photographs she chose to share in its aftermath were very good. Too good. Professional. And in one, there was a SmartWater bottle conspicuously placed. Social media, then the traditional media exploded with claims she staged it, it was all a sponsorship play and so on. 
It wasn’t staged. It also wasn’t sponsored. And the incident was one of several beacons in the influencer space in 2019 the mainstream media grabbed hold of to declare influencer marketing dead. And Tiffany's opportunities dried up for a year afterward. 
But, Tiffany is still Tifforelie and still providing outstanding content, engaging her audience and she got back to occasionally partnering with brands and sharing partner content as well. To celebrate the launch of the book, Tiffany agreed to come on the show, rehash a little of the story one more time, but also dive into how she approaches brand partnerships, creating content and the risks of being out there. 
She’s very candid in her advice for aspiring influencers and offers up interesting insights into the content creator’s mindset that brands and agency types alike will learn from.
