Looking for a Glasgow foodie to collaborate with? Glad you’re here! I love trying new places and food, sharing my experience, and coming up with creative ways to collaborate with brands. Whether you have a business or food & drink products you’d like to promote or get reviews for, I very much welcome invitations and opportunities to collaborate.
As a form of disclosure, I add “#invited” or “#gifted” to posts related to meals, products, events attended, etc. that I did not pay for.
I am a high-spirited blogger, and I always share my honest opinion. If, for any reason, I did not have a good experience, I refrain from sharing it publicly, as it’s not in my interest to harm anyone.
“Caterina is fantastic to work with, she delivers on any brief we assign and is always on time and meets any given deadline. The standard of her recipes and photo quality is always excellent and always goes down well on our social channels when we post content from her. She is a pleasure to work with!”

Thinking of collaborating with Glasgow Foodelicious? Here’s 5 reasons why you should 😄
- Glasgow Foodelicious is dedicated to the local food scene in Glasgow (Scotland), this means that businesses in the city and surrounding areas collaborating with me can be guaranteed to reach a relevant audience. Details about the demographics of my audience can be provided on request.
- My Instagram follower base is real and highly engaged. I don’t buy followers; those who follow my account are real people who engage with my content.
- I can help to boost your presence and reputation online. Beyond Instagram, I like to share my experience on my TikTok, on my blog, I review places on Google Maps (Local Guide – current Level 8) and I can post reviews on Facebook and TripAdvisor (Restaurant Expert – current Level 7).
- I am a professional content marketer (check my LinkedIn profile), so you can be sure to be collaborating with someone who knows best practices for effective communication, posting on social media and maximising reach.
- Wide-ranging experience with collaborations. I have collaborated with both big brands and small local businesses. My area of expertise is restaurant and product reviews, recipe content creation (dishes and cocktails), and giveaways, but I am happy to discuss other types of collaborations.
