BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH…

My blog is my full-time business.

As such, I do not accept products, overnight stays or travel credit as compensation for collaborations on the blog, podcast or my social channels. No press releases or traditional sponsored content (guest posts) will be placed on this site, nor will any marketing work be undertaken for free or for exposure.

My rates reflect the quality of my work. See testimonials below.

For every project, I spend a significant amount of time to create high-quality content. This includes researching a trip or a topic, writing engaging blog posts, editing photos videos, composing social media posts tailored to each channel, SEO optimising my content, tracking & reporting after a campaign and of course the time it takes me to go on the trip to collect content and make the experiences to write about.

My podcast is independently produced. If you (or one of your clients) would like to be featured in a story or an interview on the show, be aware that I charge a competitive fee to cover production costs. Advertising and sponsorship packages are also available.

Please note that I do not sell “do-follow” links.

All sponsored partnerships on the blog and podcast will be clearly labeled and all links to partners are tagged as “no-follow”.

All enquiries for partnerships should be sent via email (not Instagram DMs).

Thanks!

The fee is calculated per 1,000 audio impressions (2x per download).

♥ Destination campaigns

I am available for tailored destination marketing campaigns to highlight a particular aspect of a region or destination.

Deliverables as part of a destination marketing campaign should be discussed individually, depending on your requirements, and can include content creation, promotional posts, reviews, photography, videography and social media promotion.

♥ Product and Service Reviews

The trust of my readers and my authority among a specific target niche makes Watch Me See the right platform to review your travel-related product or service. All reviews on Watch Me See are based on personal experiences and are thorough, honest and unbiased.

If the review is for a product, I will require one product for review, supplied by the brand. If the review is for a service or accommodation, then I expect that it will be provided to be thoroughly tested as part of the process, not instead of payment.

Reviews can relate to: Accommodation providers, Travel clothing and outdoor equipment, Forms of transport, car rental agencies or airlines, Organised and guided tours or trip planning tools.

♥ Social Media Promotion

All articles created in partnership come with the promotion of the posts on the social media channels of Watch Me See.

However, additional posts across social media platforms can be arranged to maximise the reach and engagement with your brand with my audience on social media.

♥ Brand Ambassadorship

Long-term partnerships and consistent promotion are some of the most efficient ways to create targeted promotion and establish a trusted relationship with the audience of Watch Me See.

A brand ambassadorship is a mutually beneficial relationship that can include a variety of the above-mentioned services, depending on your needs. These partnerships work best long-term, thus a minimum of six months and regular content creation across this timeframe is expected (for example, one monthly social media post for 6 months).

Brand ambassadorship is open to all brands that are relevant to my target audience and share the ethos and values of Watch Me See.

Testimonials

“The ideal avenue for promoting the project “

Kathi produced a series of social media posts, two podcasts and a blog about our scientific tourism project Wonder Seekers. From the start she was professional and helpful, interested and enthusiastic about the project. She made sure she fully understood our needs and timescales and made suggestions based on her own expertise. 

We were delighted with what Kathi produced, particularly the beautifully scripted and immersive podcasts. These were the ideal avenue for promoting the project and making sure a multiplicity of voices were heard. It was useful to get content that we could then use in a variety of contexts- sharing across our own platforms, including to enhance our website, sharing with project partners and funders to better their understanding of what we were doing, and for project reporting.

“Above and beyond”

Kathi was a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to deliver extensive social media coverage during one of our tours. Her professional photography and creative Instagram stories were far more than we expected. The article she wrote for us was well-written and received very positively by our own followers. Her videography managed to capture the excitement of our whisky tour perfectly. Very happy to continue our long-term partnership.

“Connects with everyone she meets”

I have worked with Kathi on a number of different commissions starting in 2018. This has been linked to destination campaigns and also delivering workshop sessions for businesses on how to work with bloggers and influencers. Kathi is both professional and easy to work with. She spends time at the outset ensuring we have agreed the brief and also seeking feedback after the work is complete. She is creative and spots opportunities that add value. She is also clear on her availability and manages her commitments very well. She has consistently delivered quality outputs and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

“Immediately ‘got’ the brief”

Kathi immediately “got” the brief, approached the project with amazing enthusiasm, and overdelivered on our expectations in terms of quality, engagement, and overall creative. She did a fantastic job, posting engaging social media posts on Instagram and Facebook over the course of the trip with reels, stories, and posts. All the content received positive engagement, both in terms of overall engagement rate (average 10%) and positive comments and DMs to her accounts. We loved the experience of working with someone as engaging and enthusiastic as Kathi. Her knowledge of how to connect with her audience was instrumental in the success of the collaboration, and we hope to work with her again soon!

“Far exceeded our expectations of the original brief”

It was a great experience to work with Kathi. The brief was not the usual, wanting to raise awareness of both a new eco-tourism initiative and sustainable travel in South West Scotland. Kathi really understood what we were trying to achieve, researched our initiative well and showcased this brilliantly through Instagram, Facebook and her travel blog. Her photography and writing style are really engaging and the wee film of her experience in the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere, interviewing the people and businesses she met during her 3-day stay was a welcome surprise and far exceeded our expectations of the original brief. Kathi is full of enthusiasm and we were really impressed by her good spirited willingness to participate in a variety of outdoor activities cycling, kayaking, hill walking and star gazing in November! A real pleasure to work with and very happy to work with again in the future.

Marie McNulty / Business Development Officer, Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere

“Created an inclusive and comfortable space”

Based on her experience and expertise I requested that Kathi speak to a class of undergraduate students studying digital media. My hope was that she could provide an accurate and honest account of what it’s like to forge an independent career in the current digital economy. I was thrilled at how eloquently and professionally she spoke while making an inclusive and comfortable space where students felt welcome and valued. In short, Kathi provided inspiration to the students who are forging our digital future.
