Jennine Jacob, Coveted Media

IFB Founder Jennine Jacob on Brand/Fashion Bloggers Relationships, Learning from PR (and how DO you pronounce Aliza Licht’s Last Name?)

This morning I had the unusual pleasure of sitting down across coasts, coffee in hand, to check in with Jennine Jacob, aka The Coveted, aka founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) aka the beauty and the brains behind the most impactful community ever created to support, advise and nurture fashion bloggers who are serious about blogging for business.

On February 8, IFB will host the second of their bi-annual fashion blogger conference during fashion week. The conference lineup includes social media and PR maven Aliza Licht (DKNY PR GIRL), Glamour Magazine’s Suze Schwartz, Fashionista.com’s Executive Editor Leah Chernikoff, Refinery29′s Connie Wang and fashion’s favorite bloggers like BryanBoy, Wendy Nguyen from Wendy’s Lookbook, Emily Schuman from Cupcakes & Cashmere, Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook, Erica Domesek from PS I Made This, Jenni Radosevich from I Spy DIY and more.

Jennine has done it all – from trips around the world to experience fashion on behalf of brands, to creating a top denim blog on behalf of ShopBop, to most recently, starting influencer marketing agency Coveted Media, consulting directly with top fashion brands around their blogger outreach strategy. This year at IFB she’s interested in exploring how fashion bloggers can emulate the brand-building antics of fashion PR and fashion media leaders to drive community, audience, and opportunity, as well as how mobile increasingly affects the way we create and collect content, as well as blog and share online.

Especially valuable to fashion PR’s are Jennine’s thoughts about how brands can best nurture relationships with bloggers.
