With so many people on the brink of mass layoffs, it’s fascinating to know that younger
generations are using the power of social media to manifest their dream jobs. Take this year’s Best
Instagram Influencer, Amanda Spencer. As S.A. Foodie, the industrious Spencer parlayed an
interest in photography into a full lifestyle brand. With just around 2,000 posts, her followers
are inching up to 600,000, thanks to clever cross-platform marketing, event promotions and an
enviable knack for finding perfect branding partners. S.A. Foodie’s future looks bright and shiny
as its online profile.
