@OceanAddictBrand
How I got started with the brand: When social media started to take on the role of marketing through photography, Ocean Addict brand was the first brand I started to work with. This brand reached out to me after discovering my work on the explore page. Almost all of feed is based on the water and they felt as if their brand would fit my page perfect! When they first reached out to me, I was unsure on exactly what all I should be doing for them but i was very excited for the opportunity ! After agreeing to be an influencer for the brand they sent me many products in the mail to represent on my platforms!
Next we set up my pay account! Each photo I posted they would then share onto their page and anytime someone would purchase items from my photo add I would receive a direct deposit form it! Since I was very familiar with ocean-based photography, this brand was very simple to work with! Instead of just posting my normal boating photos, I would now tie in their products! This brand soon became a big deal to me! Not only because it was a new source of income but because this brand fit my lifestyle so well! Growing up I’ve always been an adventure junkie as well as a travel enthusiast. I was born and raised on the water and the lifestyle stuck and led to a career!
Personal review: When working for any brand, I want to make sure the brand has quality material, durable, still comfortable, and have a great appearance! When agreeing to represent their products I made sure I stuck to my guns before posting about it to my followers! This company blew my expectations out of the water! Their manager is amazing and friendly! They are always available to reach! Their shipment comes fast and don’t forget the products quality! All the products are a comfortable fit and durable! A lot of clothing now a days can be washed three times before it’s falling apart as if it was made to be disposable! Not with this brand! The material lasted a while and didn’t fade! Sizes run exactly as you expect! Don’t buy a size down or a size up when ordering, pick your normal size and you’ll be set!
About the brand: OceanAddict Brand isn’t just a brand it’s a complete lifestyle! This brand is obsessed with all things surrounding saltwater and the life that comes with it.
They have designed products for the Ocean Addicts of the world: the surfers, the beach bums, kiteboarders, wakeboarders, fishing enthusiasts, sailing and boating lovers, paddleboarders, kayakers, divers, and more.
IF YOUR A OCEAN ADDICT grab some gear from this amazing brand and stay salty!

@IslandBum
How I got started: soon after working with OceanAddict Brand I came across a second amazing brand, IslandBum! This brand is another ocean based brand that fit along with my everyday life perfectly!
Personal review: While ocean addict brand targets a large population of ocean lovers, IslandBum is a brand that centers more toward the beach and island lovers! This is yet again a high quality brand that ties in the perfect fun and summer wear. The material is a comfortable fit and their logos stand out as well as grasp the attention of others! This brand is overall an amazing brand for anyone who loves the island lifestyle!
About the brand: IslandBum brings the mixture of luxury and BeachBum right into the perfect bundle! This brand loves to bring fun to the island while respecting the land, to leave it almost as if it was never touched! This brand strives to use the best materials to bring the IslandBums
The best of the best and what they deserve! Their brand consist of a very relaxed but fun logo of a man under a palm tree! meet the famous “IslandBum man” TiKi Joe! The creator of this brand, Tyler, created this man as the imagination of his alter ego! One day while working in his cubicle day dreaming at the walls he came up with the creation considering many of us ocean lovers rather be under a palm tree with our feet in the sand then at work! Who wouldn’t?! Overall islandBum is a amazing, beach loving, high quality brand!
Meet the creator: Tyler carpenter grew up on the water, spending lots of time at his grandfathers lake cottage! In 2006 he moved to Australia where his desire for the ocean was met! One weekend while
Visiting the Great Barrier Reef he ended up finding himself at the top of Fitzroy island and realized that the ocean and island life wasn’t just love it was a true obsession! For many years he traveled to as many tropical places as he could before ending up in Florida in 2012! Island Bum brand was then born!

@Reefer_Fds
About the brand: Reefer brand is a new 2019-20 forming brand that stands for exactly what it’s called! Reefer brand is surrounded by the goal of cleaning our local waters and keeping our reefs thriving! With population and littering overflowing into our seas it has caused a mass destruction on the reefs! One of the main goals of this brand is to keep the waters clean as well as promote the growth of our reefs for fishermen, drivers and all ocean lovers! This brand is a new and upcoming brand that has been growing larger and larger from their morals and apparel! Who wouldn’t want to be a part of such a incredible brand! When I heard about the company and got the memo of their goals I was so fascinated in being apart of this team!
Personal review: Just like all
The other brands I represent, I only want to share and represent the best brands I come across for my followers! Overall this is an amazing brand just like the others!
This brand shares many similar characteristics as the brands above including: amazing materials, logos, comfort, designs, and customer support but with their morals and goals with the brand, it changes everything! Many brands are trying to compete with each other with their ideal graphics and content but have no overall goals with their brand that the public can benefit from! This brand pulls at me so much due to their mission to keep our waters and reefs healthy! I’m so stoked to be a part of this team and cannot wait to see the long-term effects it has as well as the movement it creates! Keep it up REEFER brand!

@MyIslandBlends
About the brand: Island Blends is a small business that has sprouted and grown quickly. Kristin, the founder and owner of this amazing brand has dedicated her life into creating jewelry, clothing, hats and even body scrubs that all carry the tropical beach vibe. All of her products have been inspired from her travels and been created which a passionate twist.
Personal review: growing up on the west coast of Florida, this brand really pulled at me when I first came across their Instagram. When I looked into this brand I caught myself getting lost, scrolling through all they offer on their website.
Between Kristin’s family, friends and customers, this instagram lights up with content showing off how amazing and pure their business really is. Unlike many apparel shops, this one truly shows the fun and love of the ocean and its family oriented island vibe.
Being an influencer, I have came across many brands that I can make critiques on. Things that they should change or do differently to help their products, but I can definitely say Kristin has made sure that her brand is perfect! From looks to material and durability, this brand has blown my mind away with how great is really is! My big message to all you buyers is that if your looking for a fun, ocean based and family oriented
brand, then this is one for you! They are great with customer service, they ship quickly and always guarantee their products! Way to go Kristin and your business. Keep up the great work with all you have done!

About the brand: this brand is another ocean based brand that represents the lifestyle of surfers. They offer many products including bath suits for men and women, wet suits, hats, and more. Their products light up in your eyes with their magnificent colors and graphics that pull customers to purchase!
Personal review: when this brand reached out to me wanting to collab and represent their brand I was eager to get started! Their graphics were amazing and fun, their colors popped.
This brand soon became a brand I wouldn’t show my followers. First the straw hat they sent me to advertise fell apart the first day wearing it while creating content FOR THEM! The dry fit, long sleeve UV protected shirt logo faded off after the first wash. I’m not someone to complain, especially to brands that are wanting me to model and represent their apparel but I was quick to send them a message about my experience. They tried blowing it off with excuses and said that the hat shouldn’t have been worn in the water and that the long sleeve should have been washed in cold water only. No matter what it was washed in, it shouldn’t have faded completely off in one wash. This brand REPRESENTS a ocean LIFESTYLE but can’t be worn near the ocean? This really shook me! Unfortunately I did stray away from representing this brand to my followers because I feel as if a ocean style brand should have durable products for the OCEAN LIFESTYLE.
