BritishBeautyBlogger
British Beauty Blogger is a site ran by UK beauty journalist Jane Cunningham. Because of her job, Jane reports on the latest collections and product launches. The blog was founded in January 2008 and is part of the Handpicked Media collective. Handpicked Media is an agency that champions blogs and websites in a variety of different sectors. Jane Cunningham is a beauty insider, and despite her connection with the industry, she isn’t afraid to give her opinion. Jane also judged the 2010 Handbag Beauty Awards, and her site was awarded Blog of the Week by Harrods. Jane started the British Beauty Blogger a way to talk about products and experiences in a way that wasn't (and isn't) possible in mainstream magazines or newspapers. The blog is a place for her to not only praise, but criticise whether or not a product is in her words, "rubbish". She says: "I’ve never enjoyed writing about anything as much as I do about beauty. It’s endlessly interesting, constantly changing and I am never lacking for subject matter." British Beauty Blogger doesn’t just post reviews and the latest product news; there are also blogger-related issues such as the relationship between bloggers, brands and PRs. There is a section on the blog that gives PRs the right to reply on their experiences working with bloggers. The blog is updated frequently, on average, posts appear daily, sometimes multiple times in a day. The blog's content has a personal tone to it, and vary between short reviews to longer posts that range between 300 and 500 words. Almost everything that is personally reviewed on this blog has been sent via agencies in connection with Jane's Job. The blog does not take incentives or kick-backs and has recently begun selecting advertising. The blog states: 'I now take selected ads in an open fashion and sponsored posts which are clearly labelled. In the interests of being open, the sidebar is a paid for service for products I personally rate and like. You’ll never see anything I don’t actually like in the sidebar for the sake of a buck.' To contact the blog regarding PR opportunities, contact Jane via her email address. Alternatively Jane can be reached on Twitter, where she is very active and responsive.

BritMums
BritMums is a parenting-focused collective with a blog house style within it. It is one of the UK’s largest collective of lifestyle bloggers and digital influencers, aiming to fuel "the country’s most influential social content". BritMums was founded by Susanna Scott and Jennifer Howze. Before BritMums, Jennifer was a journalist and worked as online lifestyle and women's editor at The Times, as well as being lead writer for Alpha Mummy blog. Through the blog, she met Susanna and they decided to get a group of bloggers together to talk about mutual issues. Soon after leaving The Times, she joined Susanna on a full-time basis and helped launch the social network. The blog is wide-reaching in its topics: from home and design, reviews, school run networking for mums to BritMums speaking at political conferences. The posts vary in length and aim to be written in a style that is accessible but not patronising. BritMums is a space where bloggers can go, share information and talk to each other about what they’re thinking. It’s about good storytelling, good content, something that readers want to read. The blog has PR opportunities such as food, entertainment, toys and games reviews, to recipes and previews. PRs should not see the BritMums community as the audience they are trying to reach - they are partners when it comes to getting a message out. The team can be reached at the general email address listed. PRs need to put themselves into a Mum or Dad’s shoes when thinking about working with BritMums. Between 3pm and 8pm is the busiest time of the day with the school run, home time, dinner and bed so in their own words "6pm cocktails won’t work". The “sweet spot” during the week to connect with bloggers will be 10:30am to 1pm. If it’s a weekend event, make sure there’s something for the kids to do. PRs should also think about value exchange when approaching bloggers. Unless it has a high value, getting a free product will not always be enticing enough. Think about the time and work a blogger has to put into creating content around a product. Brands need to make sure they are happy with the bloggers they are working with and set out from the beginning what they expect - be it a piece of content and/or social media shares. If a PR has an idea, they should get in contact with Susanna and/or Jennifer in the first instance. They are always happy to hear ideas and brainstorm about what would work best for a brand. They want a brand to get the most out of working with the blogging community. Gorkana meets...BritMums, May 2016 The write up can be found here. The video can be viewed here. Gorkana Breakfast Briefing: Thursday 4 December 2014 BritMums co-founders Susanna Scott and Jennifer Howze on creating the UK's largest parenting blogging space, why PRs should never use the words “Mummy Bloggers” and how they can help brands engage with the site's 8,000-strong community.
