Press - The Global Ghana Girl

I’m Melissa, a New Jersey-based travel and lifestyle blogger, and photographer. I’m passionate about highlighting local destinations around the tri-state area and inspiring my audience to live vibrantly outside of the 9 to 5. I love collaborating with brands that align with my mission and values. Whether you’re a travel company, food brand, tourism board, or lifestyle brand, I’d love to help promote your brand through a partnership that is beneficial for both parties. If this is something you’d be interested in, feel free to email me at theglobalghanagirl@gmail.com for more information.

How we can work together

When working with me, you can expect professionalism, high-quality content, social media expertise, and an engaged audience. I offer several partnership opportunities to fit your business needs, including sponsored posts, press trips, giveaways, brand ambassadorship, and photography services. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Please let me know, as I want to ensure that both parties benefit from our collaboration.

Sponsored blog posts: As part of our collaboration, I will feature your brand in an SEO-optimized post on my blog. This post will be promoted on my social media accounts including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and TikTok.

Sponsored social media posts: This is similar to a sponsored blog post, however, the collaboration will be shared on my social media platforms only (Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and Facebook), using high-quality images and branded hashtags.

Press trips: As part of a social media marketing campaign, I can offer dedicated blog posts (hotel reviews, travel guides, restaurant guides, etc), social media posts (in-feed and stories), and high-quality images. I will highlight the destination in a way that is authentic and captivating.

Photography services: As a portrait and landscape photographer, I can provide high-quality, professionally edited images for use on your social media, website, and marketing materials (examples: headshots of staff, photos of restaurant or hotel property, food, or product photography).

Giveaways: I also offer giveaways that are mutually beneficial for your brand and my audience. This can include giveaways for products, hotel stays, or other services.

Brand ambassadorship: I can create ongoing content for your brand as an affiliate, through blog posts and/or social media content.

Melissa was a dream collaborator – professional, friendly and most importantly, passionate! She beautifully captured Silver Diner’s essence as the “Next Generation” diner, serving the classic meals everyone knows and loves, while also catering to today’s lifestyles through a robust “flexitarian” menu. We’re thrilled with her content – and we know her readers are, too!
