A New Age in Media: Working with Bloggers

Media continues to evolve in the 21st century! Bloggers are the new media trend influencing upcoming generations that have started to rely more on the people they follow on social media rather than traditional media outlets. Learn more about working with influencers and bloggers at the upcoming WMPRSA event. This event will feature three Grand Rapids-based bloggers who have a range of interests and audiences.

Our panelists:

   Sarah Visser 
   As a Grand Rapids girl born and raised The GR Guide is a true passion
   project. Sarah spent five years in Chicago after attending Calvin College     
   working in advertising & fashion and started a lifestyle blog Project Soiree that
   featured interviews, restaurant reviews, recipes and the latest fashion
   trends. After returning to Grand Rapids she was thrilled to see the growth from
   local entrepreneurs who are making their mark on the City, and came up with
   the idea for The GR Guide to showcase these unique boutiques, fun
   events, delicious restaurants and more!

 

   Ashley Wierenga
   Ashley is a marketing consultant and lifestyle blogger behind Sincerely Ashley.
   In her free time you can find her spending time with her husband and sweet
   pup, snapping photos, cheering on her favorite sports teams, jamming to
   Hamilton, and soaking up everything this beautiful city has to offer. Connect
   with her on Instagram: @ashleywierenga.
