Fashion Blogger: How to Pitch Jennine Jacobs, Independent Fashion Bloggers

Since it’s start in 2007, Independent Fashion Bloggers, the brainchild of Jennine Jacobs, has risen to be an authoritative community hub for fashion bloggers and the brands seeking to connect with them. Whether its interviewing The Sartorialist, penning the Fair Compensation Manifesto, or hosting the biannual IFB Conference, any brand seeking to engage with fashion bloggers should be paying attention to IFB’s ongoing evolution.

What do you wish more fashion brands/publicists understood about IFB:

IFB doesn’t blog about fashion per se, we focus on how to help fashion bloggers improve their blog and monetize. We’d be more interested in how a brand launched a campaign with bloggers than talking about the product.

Meet Crosby Noricks

Hi. I'm Crosby, the founder of PR Couture and a creative marketing strategist who works with fashion brands that get it (or want to get it!). I care about helping companies connect to their audiences in meaningful ways, as well as mentoring fashion publicists along their career path. Recently, I was included in iMedia's annual list of 25 Internet Marketing Leaders and Innovators, along with people from Starbucks, Twitter and Volkswagon, which I think is pretty neat. Like Elle Woods, I am a Gemini-vegetarian (that's about where the similarities end). Let's connect: Check out my full bio or get in touch.
