During the course of July 2014 Happy.Me approached Syllable in the City to ask if I would be interested to becoming a Happy.Me influencer. I absolutely adore this brand and these delicious drinks, so it was a no-brainer! But what exactly does that mean to my readers?

In keeping with my policy of transparency, I feel it is important to declare what each of the parties get out of this agreement.

I have a Happy.Me loyalty card and every quarter I receive R750 credit to treat myself, my friends and family, to the happiness that Happy.Me spreads. I will also be invited to try out their new flavours first, attend events, store launches, etc.

In exchange, I will post at least one blog post a month, and I’ve insisted that the content should be something original and fresh – something that will also add value to my readers’ life, not just benefit Happy.Me. I’ll also post to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook whenever the mood strikes.
