#Repost @madelinereginaceleste Hi! My name is Madeline I heard on a podcast this morning that you should reintroduce yourself periodically when you have a brand on Instagram. I like to consider this account a brand, so I'm going to reintroduce myself. My name is Madeline, and if you know me on a day-to-day basis, or if we've connected on FB, you likely know I recently started my own business! I help breweries convert their marketing budgets to on-premise sales with a social media advocacy program. I have no intention of converting this account to anything related to my consulting business. That's just a huge part of who I am, and what motivates my life at this present moment. I've actually always fancied this account as portfolio of sorts. I've been going by Madeline Regina Celeste on social media since 2005- my last name is not Celeste, by the way. There were months I was mjfyb_mrc and while I changed the handle back, I think that chapter is still identifiable in my feed here on IG. Scroll back, and you can find photos of me holding a bottle of beer really close to my face as early as 2013. Why? I actually do that with a lot of things- I squish my dog's face into my face when I tell him I love him.. all the time. So, I guess it felt natural. Then I got a rush of what felt like popularity as I started to see my photos shared by other IG accounts to their own profiles. As the app developed and the social component developed... I grew with engagement by responding to every message I got. Replying to comments and building more of a network than a following. My photo was shared online in a Men's Health article, and that's when I really saw the push to becoming a beer influencer. For me, that meant influencing other's purchase or trade of a specific beer because I posted that I enjoyed it. It felt a part time job- I put so many hours into it, and I loved it. Various chapters in my content and style have documented my development to where I am today. In the adult phase of life! In 2022 #beerpaysthebills and I have built this life that I love. Thanks for reading, and for following my account! https://www.instagram.com/p/CgApZZpJWP9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
