QUOTABLES: "I think in general, from a career standpoint and an influencer marketing, you have to be able to see what's possible in order to attempt to do so." — Brittany Hennessy "You don't understand how much work gets done and how many approvals there are before you ever see a contract. Unless you want to get rid of something that's material to the contract, nobody's going to drop you from a campaign because you want to do three brands of exclusivity versus five." — Brittany Hennessy GUEST RESOURCES: Brittany Hennessy IG | @mrsbrittanyhennessy RESOURCES: [FREE] Are you a content creator ready to take your brand collaborations to new heights?
