I do say this repeatedly but it’s the truth; since I began this blog I have met so many amazing women that I would not have met otherwise. Within this time, I have also seen many of my bloggy friends reach some awesome blogging goals and some bloggers have even gained some unique opportunities that they would not have received if it weren’t for their blogs.
Back in July I reviewed a diaper cake from a fabulous company called Chic Mama. It honestly was one of the nicest packaged and designed diaper cakes I’ve ever seen. However, this company is so much more than just diaper cakes. It’s geared toward the modern mom who appreciates all things chic, offering everything from stylish diaper bags to trendy clothing. You can read that full review at Theta Mom here.
As I’ve stated throughout many posts in the past, if you decide to work with a brand and post a review the one thing you always have to remember is that your readers’ trust is everything. Maintaining that trust needs to be at the forefront of every published post. Therefore, I only review products that *I* would in fact purchase myself and those that are useful and relevant to my audience. The bottom line is when you perform reviews not only are you fully endorsing that product, you are essentially endorsing the brand.
So, I am writing this post to share some exciting news with you…
Starting today, I will be taking on the role as a social media consultant for Chic Mama, helping to begin building an online presence for the brand by launching a Twitter account! I am thrilled about this opportunity because having worked with this company before, Chic Mama is a brand I fully endorse. So basically every time you see this adorable avatar on Twitter, you will be tweeting with ME!
I would love for you to help me kick off this exciting new opportunity and *follow* me on Twitter as TheChicMama! Of course I will continue to tweet as Theta Mom but I also look forward to building and establishing new relationships on Twitter as TheChicMama so be sure to connect with me and follow so we can tweet, tweet, tweet!
I can’t thank each of you enough for your support. This community continues to show me what an amazing and inspiring group of women you are. Thank you – for reading my blog and supporting me as I begin this new opportunity. I couldn’t do it without you!!!
done! and I do have lots of friends with babies on the way so maybe a diaper cake is in our future….
Thank so much girl!!
That’s awesome! Congratulations Heather. I’ll definitely pick you up on Twitter.
Thanks mama!!
I am very excited for you. I know you will do amazing things for their social media.
That really means a lot Devan – thank you!!

Heather that is fantastic! Good luck, I am heading over to follow you now!
Thanks Tina! I already followed you! 😉
How cool! And what a smart business move to work with bloggers to build a social media presence! Go Theta Mom!!
Exactly right Liz! Personally, I think this is a trend we will begin to see as “marketing” certainly has changed with the inflence of social media. I couldn’t be more excited and thanks for your supprot mama!!
This is a fabulous opportunity, and so smart of them to find a social media consultant/guru!!! You’re going to be awesome! Congrats!
Thank you SO much for the support!!
This is wonderful news, Heather! I am so excited for you, and of course I will follow you at Chic Mama!!
You.are.awesome.
You got it! I fully trust your endorsements so I’ll be checking out Chic Mama for a baby shower I’ll be throwing in the next few months. Thanks!
Lindsay, I so appreciate that! Looking forward to tweeting with you.
Congrats Heather! How cool, I’ve seen other pairings like this (Loralee from LooneyTunes) & I think it’s wonderful
Thanks so much Beth! I have to be honest, I’ve been apporached in the past and NEVER accepted the various social media pitches because I did not full believe in the product/brand 100%. How could I endorse and promote a brand I didn’t fully believe in myself? Then Chic Mama came along and I instantly knew it was the right fit for me AND this readership. Thanks for always supporting – you’re like a long time bloggy friend.

Wow Heather! What a great opportunity! I’ve been considering such a move myself with a couple of small-biz owners and your post gives me great food for thought… And confidence that it isn’t totally crazy!
I’ll look for you on Twitter!
P.S. I’ve been scarce lately because I’m working on a big blog makeover – unveiling soon!
How exciting Joy! Can’t wait to see it! And yes, not crazy at all! In fact, I have a few bloggy friends who do the same thing!
Congratulations. How exciting!
Thanks for the support Kmama!
That is awesome! Congrats!
Thanks so much Michelle!!
Oh, how exciting! Congratulations Heather! Also, congratulations to Chic Mama- what a great business move. I can tell you, when I am looking for a product, I used to go to online forums for opinions. In the past few years, twitter and facebook have become the places I go to seeking insights and information. I also look at brands that are geared well towards moms and families, and if they have a social media presence, all the better!
Congratulations on a great opportunity! I can’t wait to see the great success you build with the brand.
Ashley,
Exactly how I feel! I’ve been approched to work with some other brands and I declined – it wasn’t the right fit. But Chic Mama IS the right fit for me and having worked with the brand before, I am proud to be working under that name! Thanks so much for your support, as always!!
Fabulous news! Congratulations!!
