Today we got the honor of interviewing Emily (Jax'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?
Ciabuca: Becoming a dog influencer was kind of a happy accident for me. I began casually sharing posts now and then, and then suddenly, one video just took off. It was like, "Whoa, maybe there's something here!" That viral moment gave me a push to keep posting, and suddenly, the whole account took off. Jax's face is, I swear, the definition of cute (but, hey, maybe I'm a bit biased 😉). There's just something about his look that screams adorable to our audience and anyone who stumbles upon us. The positive vibes from comments and the engagement inspires me to keep going. It's been a journey, but a pretty cool one.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Ciabuca: French Bulldogs are known for their playful and fun-loving attitude, and Jax effortlessly embodies that demeanor. His videos aren't just about showcasing the typical Frenchie charm; they're about delivering a daily dose of good vibes and laughter. We're all about sharing positivity, making our account stand out and creating a unique, uplifting experience for our followers.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Ciabuca: Oh, I get asked this question all the time! Honestly, there's no elaborate process I follow. I just scroll through the explore page, stumble upon a sound, and decide to give it my own spin. I try to put together videos that sync well with the sound and capture Jax's reactions to it. It's all about finding that perfect combo!
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Ciabuca: Sure, we've had our share of it. While I don't expect everyone to love dog accounts, some people still manage to hate on it. Those comments don't bring me down because, at the end of the day, it's just words on a phone screen.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Ciabuca: Start by capturing the moments that make your dog special – the quirks, the cuteness, and everything in between. Be consistent, engage with your followers, and most importantly, have fun! 🐾✨
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Ciabuca: Jax has really boosted my independence and confidence, not just in looking after him but in handling other things too. I'm all about giving him the best life within the usual dog parent limits. Sure, it can get a bit stressful at times, but the rewards are huge when you see their happy faces and lively energy.
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?
Ciabuca: He absolutely adores his pup cups (whipped cream)! Whenever we roll into the drive-thru, even if he's in deep slumber, his eyes light up and transform into the biggest, most adorable puppy dog eyes. It's the cutest thing ever, and honestly, how can I possibly resist saying no each time?
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Ciabuca: Definitely the reactions and comments! Seeing it brighten up my followers' day is what really makes me love being a dog influencer.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Ciabuca: Continuing to share our videos on various platforms, sprinkled with a few projects here and there. Jax is always thrilled to receive new toys, so maybe something fun related to that!
