Brand Experience
“Shaunda is “one of THOSE” amazing partners who continuously goes above and beyond to provide more content that will work well with her platform and that will coordinate well the campaign goals. Shaunda kept the priority products top of mind while developing beautiful recipes and fun content incorporating her whole family that her audience was able to engage with.
Shaunda provided multiple types of recipes for review for content and included all deliverables ahead of schedule. Shaunda also went above and beyond to interact with her audience in regards to the products and was able to prove as a natural integration for THD programs.
Truly, thank you for a wonderful partnership and I hope to work together again.”
— Jordan Weynard, The Home Depot Influencer Program Manager
“Shaunda has gorgeous skin, an engaged audience and a unique voice. Her captions are also well crafted and educational. We thought she’d be an ideal fit for a skincare routine which needs to be beautiful and educational. Shaunda’s captions and content are top quality and we thought she could speak to the features and benefits of the product in a really beautiful way – which she did! She also is a thorough collaborator – a pro at educating through her captions, which we appreciated because it’s important to apply skincare correctly. Shaunda has consistently been an ideal partner. She’s thorough and truly makes herself an expert on the product she is working with and her photos are top quality. Shaunda and her manager (Johanna) are wonderfully transparent and communicative and always meet deadlines. They run a very buttoned up operation which makes partnership a dream. Would love to work with you both again soon”

Recent Partnerships
“Nobody knows influencer talent management better than Johanna Voss, the “Influencer Boss!” Over the past decade, Johanna has been a pioneer in the ever-evolving world of influencer marketing and sponsored brand partnerships. She’s negotiated contracts for me that have far exceeded my expectations, securing payments much higher than I would have ever thought to ask for myself.
Even when I feel overwhelmed and cannot take on brand partnerships, Johanna is always ready to pivot and leverage my extensive business knowledge to secure paid speaking engagements. Most importantly, she’s created an agency that feels less like a business and more like a supportive community of shared knowledge and understanding.
I highly recommend that any influencer receiving an influx of paid brand requests reach out to Johanna as soon as possible. You will gain more than just a brand manager. Her loyalty and care for her clients are priceless. In a world filled with superficiality on social media, Johanna truly stands out as a real one!” ~ Shaunda
