What do trends in social media consumption and food consumption have in common? What can foody culture teach us about the type of influencers who will hold power in the years to come? How do you turn your passion for food and snack predictions into a strong online community? How do you stay authentic even when you feel like an outsider? How can creators make money from their content despite Stripe/Venmo not being available in the majority of places outside of the US?
On this episode of Girl Gone Viral, hosted by Liz Hagelthorn, Andrea Hernández, creator of Snaxshot and food & beverage trend forecaster, is here to discuss building a new type of online community, Clubhouse’s early days, Snaxshot’s origin story, CaaS (Curation As A Service) and the buying power of millennials. Then Liz and Andrea discuss how important Instagram is to driving food trends, how to work with crippling self doubt as a creator and the role of memes as a useful tool to champion authenticity through the storylines of critical self-awareness.
