Today we got the honor of interviewing Eva (Sune Mangs'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?
Mangs: We started Sune's account on Instagram just for fun. We could never believe that so many around the world would find him so nice that they wanted to see more of him.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Mangs: Sune is an enjoyer of life. Always have a good advice on how to enjoy life. Always enjoy the moment. He is positive and kind.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Mangs: The most pictures are taken in our everyday life, on our walkies or what we're doing. There is not much planning behind it. I think I have the imagination to convey my message to the picture I just took. As soon as I took the picture, I mostly know how to use it, with text and everything. If we do a work for a product, I start to create the post in my mind how I want it to look like.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Mangs: These kinds of things always come on social media. People that can't handle their jealousy need to write evil comments or send evil DMs. Some people can't handle others' success. I only feel sad for these people who can't be kind to others. Instead, I think of all the love we're daily showered with. Always see the positive in life and turn my back on all negativity.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Mangs: Just do it! It's fun, it works like a diary for you and your dog. Don't take it too seriously; it takes away all the fun it should be. Pictures don't have to be perfect; everyday life is more than enough. Too many perfect pictures will be boring.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Mangs: Not so much, more than someone thinks it's fun to meet a celebrity dog 😂
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?
Mangs: We went out in the forest to do some pictures for the week to come. In the middle of the forest, Sune found a sofa. Someone had dumped it there for some reason. Sune thought it was time for a rest, so he did what he always does at home, took place on the sofa. It was a great opportunity to take fun pictures. Our local newspaper did a story about it. Sune has also been on Swedish television a few times.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Mangs: All the friends all around the world. Even if we never met, we have found special friendship.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Mangs: Well, we don't plan so much, but we're waiting for the best time of the year, spring. It's the time where many beautiful pictures can be taken. Sweden transforms from a grey to green, beautiful floral world.
