gap creek gourmet: Brand Ambassador

International Food Blogger Conference 2014 Seattle

Let me represent your brand at IFBC!

Gap Creek Gourmet is looking for Brand Ambassador opportunities for the 2014 International Food Blogger Conference in Seattle Washington in September. A $1000 Sponsorship (covering conference, travel expenses and misc costs) gets your brand in front of more than 250 bloggers from around the world. I will post on Twitter and Facebook (using your hashtag) and GapCreekGourmet.com while at the conference, singing the praises of your brand. Deck me out and send me packing with your product swag: t-shirts, cups, pens, notepads, coupons and product. I will be a walking brand ambassador and tweeter on the streets at one of the most prestigious blogger conventions in the US. From your company to their ears, from their fingers to the world.

About Gap Creek Gourmet:

I began Gap Creek Gourmet in 2011 as a regionally focused food experience blog. I was freelancing for local and regional outlets including: Verve Magazine, Greenville Journal, Greenville Business Magazine, Greenville News and USA Today and decided I’d merge my love of food with writing. I started blogging about my own food adventures both in and out of my kitchen. I’ve chased food trucks, stalked celebs at food festivals, eaten my way around cities both near and far, and made a mess in my own kitchen. (Click the links for some foodie fun.)
