Today we’d like to introduce you to Yanni Georgoulakis.
His mother is Cuban, and father was born in Greece, making Yanni’s heritage diverse. His ethnic background inspired him to try all sorts of foods, and he became a cultured food lover who would be willing to try everything.
After graduating college with an international business degree from Florida International University, Yanni worked at a few different jobs before landing in the medical field as a pharmaceutical rep. Between his love for food, business background, and encouraging friends, Yanni decided he wanted to start a food Instagram account.
He spent a few days bouncing back and forth on different names before deciding on “@FoodyFetish.” The next three years were not easy. Every day, Yanni had to commit to posting, engaging and becoming the best food account possible.
From the young age of 15, Yanni was taking photos of food which gave him an advantage. However, there are so many food bloggers on Instagram, standing out can be challenging.
Yanni focused on producing the most delicious photos and videos he possibly could and devoted his time to networking. He became friends with all the biggest names in the Miami food world and slowly got his name out there.
Foody Fetish Started in mid-2015.
Has it been a smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth road.
Some struggle has been keeping up to date with the ever-changing features and updates of Instagram and their Algorithms. Also consistently posting and producing great content that over 3.2 Million people are waiting to see.
Other struggles have been meeting the right contacts and key decision makers at companies that understand social media since it is still very new and people don’t understand the true value.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
