We’re PR Friendly!

Hi I’m Nicole Crimaldi, an energetic and ambitious 27-year-old who lives in Chicago.  I’ve built relationships and a network full of thousands of amazing women in their twenties who come to MsCareerGirl regularly for advice.  I love my readers and, therefore, I love working with brands and corporations to be able to introduce them to the best and hottest products that suit their lives.

If you’d like to setup a brand campaign, please contact me via my contact form or via email at nicole@mscareergirl.com.

Now for the Full Disclosure Part

The FTC now requires that bloggers like me disclose if they are trying to earn grocery money or being compensated in any way via their blog.  Here’s the skinny:

MsCareerGirl.com is a blog written and edited by me, Nicole Crimaldi, with the exception of occasional guest blog posts. MsCareerGirl.com’s mission is to empower and inspire all the fabulous young women out there.  Therefore:

  • I heart promoting female entrepreneurs who may not have the opportunity or expertise to tell the world about their fabulous products and/or services.  I’m here to help women have an opportunity to be featured, to share their voice and to be heard.
  • After I got laid off MsCareerGirl started helping me pay the bills.  Therefore, MsCareerGirl.com accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, paid branding & promotional campaigns and other forms of compensation.
    • For example, our “Shop” page has products I love, many of which are connected to affiliate links.  Others may have paid for placement.  I only post and endorse products on the Shop page that I would buy myself.
    • You may see buttons from paid sponsors on my sidebar.
    • Also, you’ll know when I do a paid post because it will be distinguished as a ”featured” or “sponsored” post. All compensation agreed upon is for my time to create the content. Um, this girl’s gotta eat!
  • Like I said, I only review things that I’m into.  Therefore, I will never be influenced by any form of compensation. My integrity is VERY important to me, but I’m also a gal with an opinion.  I will always be honest in my judgment and recommendations to my readers (good and bad).  If I don’t love the product AND there’s nothing in it for my readers – I won’t promote them. Period. Providing quality and relevant content is the whole point here at MsCareerGirl.
  • I do participate in fun branding and social media campaigns with companies that I believe uplift young women and provide them with cool free products and/or opportunities that will elevate them as a blogger.  The criteria for these types of campaigns = there will always be “something in it” for MsCareerGirl readers. These paid promotions will be distinguished as “campaigns”.
  • Occasionally, I’m given products, cash, gift cards and services in exchange for advertising and social media announcements. I will always write my honest opinions and experiences. The opinions expressed by me on this blog or in social media are purely my own. Living your best live means being your authentic self, right?!
  • Lastly, this blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
