I’m a Sydney lifestyle influencer who loves to inject a sense of fun and authentic positivity into the feeds of my Instagram community. My followers enjoy my fashion, food and Sydney lifestyle snapshots. As a professional content editor and creator, I’ve worked with Australia’s leading brands on campaigns across digital, TV, podcasts and social. On Instagram, my partnerships have included Specsavers, Marcs, Superdry, Blazer, Toby’s Estate, Crust Pizza, Italian Tourism Office and more.
Influencer gifting, also called product seeding or creator gifting, involves sending free products to creators in exchange for authentic content. Instead of paying upfront fees, brands gain exposure, user-generated content, and social proof. This approach helps companies build awareness, test creator partnerships, and generate content that supports their marketing funnel at a lower initial cost.
Traditional influencer marketing typically involves contracts and monetary compensation. Gifting focuses on product exchange rather than payment. This makes it ideal for early-stage campaigns, product launches, and testing creators before committing to larger budgets, while still generating authentic content and audience engagement.
Gifting allows brands to evaluate creator performance, communication, and audience alignment without major financial risk. It helps identify creators who genuinely resonate with the product and produce high-quality content before scaling into paid partnerships.
Both emerging startups and established brands benefit from gifting. New brands gain exposure and credibility, while larger companies use gifting to maintain a steady content pipeline and discover new creator partnerships.
