I think it’s an important conversation that has to happen so we can all work with large brands similarly, given people have put their time in, so to speak, really developing these relationships. I’ve put in 3 years of doing a lot of free product reviews, with a lot of valuable information to brands. It’s what my personal site is built on, and I’m feeling like now I’ve put in my dues but I feel some PR firms are just used to me working for free with the reviews, that when they provide different experiences to other bloggers that could be paid opportunities, I’m not getting the same perks provided to other bloggers because they assume I’ll continue to work for free. I know there are lots of demographics that go into their marketing pitches and plans, which it’s very possible I don’t meet. However, I also know that saving their clients money in the long run is an ideal situation. My opinion leads me to believe that some brands and PR firms aren’t necessarily respecting this off the bat, as they throw many hooks into the water to see who will bite without the bait first. Do you feel like IF a brand really wanted you to work on a specific campaign that they would or should change their pitches to begin to offer you these perks without a blogger needing to begin to say “No” or have a “change in policy” for them to take notice?
