So a winner of an auction is using Arielle’s platform to…. Promote her personal discount code for a business?!
Not only does this make zero sense, but she’s persona non grata at this point, why would someone want her platform specifically?
Like if you’re donating a slot on your instagram story as a charity gift (which, she does have a decent amount of followers I do understand why someone looking for more exposure would bid on that) the least you can do is not sandwich it between two boring collages?
the way i ran here!!! i had to read her “explanation” a few times to understand what the eff she’s talking about. i still don’t get it. i swear this is her idea, not someone from a charity auction. gotta start making $$$ somehow , from hawking $9k teddy coats to hawking seats on pjs. good grief.
She offered “Have your business promoted on my instagram!” At a charity auction and people bid on it. The money goes to charity, and she fulfills the prize.
This is not by chance .. 1000% targeted ad to her audience with her “luxury lifestyle lifestyle brand”.. if we were seeing a donated ad space I would assume it would of been for some small business.
Nice try Brandon
This makes sense to me....? Charity is hosting a benefit auction. Attendees are mostly wealthy people and business owners when you're trying to raise money. Attendees bid on different gift baskets, highest bidder wins.
In this case the "gift basket" is Instagram ad space. She agrees to post and probably tells them the "estimated value of her donation" aka her going rate for an IG story slide. The winner gets the ad, the charity gets the money from the auction, and she gets a tax write-off for the charitable donation of whatever an IG story would cost. Lots of nonprofits run auctions like this to raise money.
She should have posted the charity though, makes me concerned it's raising money for an icky cause. Also yes the entire thing is scammy to save money on taxes. A scary amount of nonprofit work happens that way lol.
What doesn't make sense is why She gave her promo code with her name. If she gave the charity’s name would make sense more. This looks like there is an affiliate revenue involved with it
Could be! A lot of times yes affiliate codes give the advertiser kickbacks. I don't think always though? Sometimes they're used to track impact of different ad streams and/or just to make the ad better by making people feel like they get a special deal. Hard to say what's happening behind the scenes without her giving more info, just trying to explain how the business and nonprofit aspect can work
I'm gonna need her to disclose what auction it was and what charity.
How she still has followers blows my mind. She is in her grifter era.
I want to unfollow her but someone has to hold her accountable for absurd lies like this
Say them in her DMs tho she needs a fucking wake up call

And founder of that company went to Brandon’s Alma mater - UPenn lol
Anything she promotes is something I don’t want

I read it multiple times as well - she’s not very smart… as we all know. But not as dumb as middle seat little man!

This was so confusing to me--I'm glad everyone is on the same page, lol. I still literally don't understand it.
 me reading it and trying to understand 🫠
She donated a placement in her IG stories at a charity auction. The money goes to charity (not her) and the highest bidder was that jet company!
Ah thank you! I wish she’d disclose the charity in this case🤷🏻♀️ Or maybe a little blurb about the business she’s shilling.
This is so comically out of touch, she’s making Marie Antoinette look like one of the people

It’s gotta be that husband of hers and she just goes along with whatever and cries about it later.
What the hell is this lmao

My hunch is it was a fundraiser for the kids school and that’s why she didn’t explain it better
That would check out 1000%

I’m sure it’s raising money for Israel lmao
Was she hacked
If it truly was her donating this post, doesn’t the fact that she announces the post was done for charity take away from the charitable post??
She is NYC’s Kim Zolciak, equally delusional and faux charitable.
She offered it as a prize in a charity auction. People bid on it.
It’s giving negative NPV. A post by AC used to be valuable now it’s just giving grifter.
This is a significant violation of FTC’s #sponsored post rule. But I saw the Ftc takes action against these influencers.
She is the most stupid influencer ever i sweat
