Sue is bad for this

Rosanna Davison has been on her Constance Hotel sponsored trip to Mauritius and the Seychelles since the 17th of September and hasn't bothered to #ad on her snaps once.

She's there by herself for the company. She has announced herself as the brand ambassador/nutritional menu adviser/some other makey uppy thing. All her snaps are showing off the hotels and locations and not a sign of a hashtag anywhere other than insta posts (and not all of them either!)

Anyone have any guesses on who the duo were that wanted to get the free meal and the chef told them to bog off?? My guess is someone mentioned in this thread ;-)

Well they have to be Vegan so I’m stumped

My guess is James kav. He often does posts about different restaurants. Maybe he doing top 5/10 vegan restaurants in Ireland post.
He often goes to restaurants and gets special treatment e.g chapter one-chefs table ect.

He's not vegan though? Why would he say he can put it in a top vegan restaurant of Ireland book. I'm sure if you are vegan you would not listen to recommendations from non vegans

I have a feeling this isn't from a well known blogger. Someone said before Rosanna or happy pear guys. I think the restaurant has made too much of a deal about this

fg1406 · 25-09-2017 09:04AM

The restaurant has appeared to kick up a bit of a fuss about it but I reckon it's the straw that broke the camels back. There appears to be a lot of "bloggers" (in the Irish sense) who simply make a living out of blagging free stuff. I'd say the chef was simply sick of being asked for free meals in exchange for "exposure". The restaurant doesn't need exposure as it's well known in itself but I suppose the chef was sick of these chancers asking for freebies. Pity more businesses don't stand up to them. I go out of my way to actively avoid the businesses that hand out free stuff to "Snapchat famous" personalities.

The ASAI investigated complaints into Just Jordan and Faces by Grace but rather than uphold them, it "released a statement warning bloggers of their responsibilities to their commerical partners".

Sorry missed the point about the vegan book.

I saw someone on that Galz facebook group talking about how this is normal for bloggers and it's called "collaboration" and saying the restaurant were out of order. Its one thing to approach companies you think might be looking to increase their advertising, it's a whole other to go blagging for free meals at Michelin star restaurants (who I doubt need some snapchatters exposure) because you think you're famous. It basically summed up the attitude that annoys people about some of these chancers.

"Chief Executive of the ASAI, Orla Twomey, told the Times that they are currently examining 39 different complaints against bloggers." :eek:

Just watched Grace's snaps from yesterday on the Ciara Daly brushes and every single one was #ad which was great.

She mentioned she's been using the brushes for 4 months (I think) because she wanted to use them to get a feel for them first, which I totally agree with - same for skin care. However, what is her secret, they looked sooooo clean, almost brand new. Wish mine would look like that

She was raving about the foundation brush, that it was the best foundation brush she's ever used. Yet she took it out of the box and had to remove the protective cover. Looked like it had never been used.

Couldn't pronounce Angel either :rolleyes:

Firstly, I was actually impressed that Grace did a review (even if it was #ad, I can accept that). It made a change from watching snaps of Sienna :rolleyes:

Secondly, the one thing I really liked on the brushes is the way they were split into the different collections - brows / eyeshadows / face / lips etc.

I actually really liked the packaging. It's simple, clean and you can see exactly what it is. The colour and size are quite practical. I'm not sold on the white Rosie Con brushes at all. I'm really tempted to try the ones Grace was showcasing, curse my darn financial constraints at the moment. That ad was much better and more natural than the millions of Meaghars ones.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 25-09-2017 11:19AM

By default anything she's advertising I will not buy

Mugatuu · 25-09-2017 11:26AM

I thought the brushes looked like really good quality brushes but then as a previous poster pointed out - she took them out of brand new packagaing which were un-used. I really feel like you cant take anything she says seriously.

I was in one of the NameIT kids clothes shops over the weekend and my sister remarked how seeing her advertising the place would completely put her off the place if the clothes werent so nice.

I don't think it's an Irish blogger. There is a big travel blogger conference TBEX on in Killarney soon, and my money is on it being one of those bloggers.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 25-09-2017 11:33AM

In my old job you'd get a few emails a week off "bloggers" looking to "collaborate", freebies for them, "exposure on social media to an organic following" for us. No thanks babes.

retro:electro · 25-09-2017 11:41AM

From the Evoke article on JJ "Eventually, Universal admitted that it wasn’t entirely practical to be able to put all the hashtags on a series of ‘concurrent snaps’ that may have gone up on the app"
Eh- what? Why not? Why are they enabling blatant laziness? It's not that hard nor does it make much effort to #ad.
They manage no bother to add the filters though.

Yes, but there will be tours for these travel bloggers throughout Ireland. They're not going to spend all their time in Killarney.

I laughed at that too, it disrupts the flow...well ads disrupt the flow of a tv show I'm watching but at least I know they're ads. The ASAI are a joke in all honesty, they're really want to get themselves some teeth so they can start issuing fines or something. I do like that they go public with them, but a slap on the wrist clearly isnt working. They'll behave for a few weeks then go back to their old ways

well it won’t happen again because Snapchat let you snap more than 10 seconds and the comment stays on all the snaps also if she couldn’t snap over 10 seconds why not record it and upload the video through camera roll with the # after it was filmed. A load of excuses

heyjude88 · 25-09-2017 02:43PM

Ok I might just be in a bad mood because it's Monday, but Graces snaps annoyed me. Good for her she is slowly learning to #ad, but don't go and snap at the end with a Bitmoji looking sad holding an empty wallet. She didn't pay for
any of the clothes she got today. She bought nothing and was paid to be there and got her and Sienna's winter wardrobe for free .ðŸ€¥

That's the first thing i noticed too! Bitmoji of an empty wallet when you haven't spent a dime. Ah here.

Lindy97 · 25-09-2017 03:15PM

I go between thinking she's completely clueless to she knows exactly what she's doing to make herself seem more relatable to her followers. if she didnt have her snaps closed I'd be tempted to point out, if it's sponsored why is she acting like she paid and has spent all her money?
She didn't even snap in the stores, just outside. I presume there will be more snaps and instagram

retro:electro · 25-09-2017 03:20PM

It seemed like a pretty pointless endeavour. She didn't show inside any shops- only outside of two. So basically we saw nothing and when she shows what she bought later it'll be no different to what you can get in any shopping centre. There must have been four snaps in total? One of the outside of Forever 21, another of her going to lunch, the next was the outside of Topshop- and last one was Sienna flat out at home time. She kinda took the piss a bit.
I'd say it's hardly the promotion Jervis wanted.
