Today we got the honor of interviewing Matthew (Archie & Zoey's Human). You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
Monroe: I initially started the Instagram account to upload pictures of the puppers for friends and family to enjoy. But, other dog folks really enjoyed the content and reached out. And when companies reached out to collab, it became an exciting venture.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Monroe: They know how to pose for pictures; they know a lot of tricks; and they're eager to try new toys, treats, and other products.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Monroe: I take pictures and video of the puppers as they go about their day. Then, I consider current trends to see if I have anything that fits.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Monroe: All feedback is helpful, even critical assessments. But if someone is just being a jerk, you block and move on.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Monroe: Have fun with it. The dog influencer market is oversaturated, so it's ideal to enjoy the process, rather than focus solely on the stuff at the other side.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Monroe: Archie and Zoey have made me a more adventurous person. I want them to experience all sorts of amazing experiences, which means I need to take them out of the house. That isn't always easy for me because I'm an introvert. But it's worth it to give Archie and Zoey a great day.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Monroe: I was taking photos and video at a dog park and someone recognized him. They wanted to get involved and they had their puppy get in the action too. Was a fun time and the puppers loved the attention.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Monroe: Dogs bring joy to people. Therefore, I get to contribute at least a little bit to making someone's day better.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Monroe: We're currently training Archie to run in Weiner dog races around the area. He's super fast and strong, so I think he has the potential to be a champion in that respect.
