In 2016 she launched her second business, theright.fit, a two-sided marketplace connecting brands with creative talent and influencers.

Recently Dynamic Business attended “Making Influencer Marketing a Success”, a panel discussion focused on helping brands make sense of what defines a great influencer campaign, the questions to ask and the data to look for.

This was hosted by Taryn who was joined by Bernice Averion, Growth Marketer at Koala.com and Sally O’Neil @thefitfoodieblog, influencer, Jamie Oliver ambassador, food blogger and photographer.

From the insights of the event, Dynamic Business has published a summary of the benefits on influencer marketing, how to do it and what to expect when you delve into it, as well as an insider perspective from Bernice at Koala.com. 

Taryn has recently appeared on Dynamic Business’s guest podcast “Human Potential” hosted by Oliver Freer. The podcast has been developed for an audience who are interested in characters in business and are fascinated by outsiders, achievers, creative thinking, future potential, deep learning, human endeavour and who particularly enjoy inspirational stories that challenge the status quo.

In this episode of the Human Potential Podcast our host, Oliver Freer, talks with Taryn Williams the former model turned entrepreneur and digital disrupter on what it takes to run two successful businesses concurrently.
