Genuine Ginger provides organic social media content, management, and influencer marketing for CPG brands who keep it real.
Genuine Ginger started in 2014 when Michelle (hi it’s me!) left an in-house social media CPG job to focus on her passion of creating delicious, engaging content for food and beverage brands. Through hard work, lots of learning, acquiring loads of props, and the endless support and referrals from amazing friends/colleagues, we went from a side hustle to a small team supporting brands with one-off briefs to monthly full-service social media management and everything in between.

Oh hey! I’m Michelle with the gingery hair and a compulsion for keeping it real.
I’ve been doing social media professionally since 2011 for brands big and small. Before that I was a health-minded chef creating vibrant meals in the kitchen. I have my culinary degree + a BA in psychology and writing. Working with conscious CPGs marries all my favorite worlds: mindful food, creativity, and communication.
In my free time I mostly hang with my husband, toddler, and new baby, eat all the food, and try to squeeze in naps wherever I can ha! And taking the lead from my team, I am an Aries Sun and Libra Moon.

Hey there! I’m Julia, the Social Media Community Manager at Genuine Ginger! I have a strong passion for holistic living, delicious food, and a BS in Business Marketing from Cal Poly SLO. I love working in the CPG space and am always on the hunt for unique brands and influencers to work with.
On the weekends, you can find me swimming in the ocean, at hot yoga, or possibly catching a quick flight somewhere fun! I love nature, traveling, and my 3-year-old golden retriever, Banks. My favorite social media platform is TikTok! I’m a Libra Sun and Virgo Moon.

Hi! I’m Kayley, Project Manager at Genuine Ginger! I have a passion for traveling, spending time with family and friends, and living a healthy lifestyle. I love adventures with my husband, our 1-year-old daughter, and our dog, Graham.
My favorite place I’ve crossed off the bucket list is South Africa. Going on safari and experiencing up close encounters with wildlife is something I’ll never forget!
I have a background in sales marketing, but also spent years growing a business in social media with my husband and partnered with clients all over the world. I’m extremely excited to bring the best of what I’ve learned to the awesome team at Genuine Ginger. It’s the perfect blend of my favorite hobbies mixed with my strengths and passion!

Hi! I’m Allison, a Southern California born and raised gal with a love for all things art, food, and music. I’m most likely to be seen planning my next concert, a weekend ski trip (water or snow), or at the farmers market planning for an elaborate meal out of Molly Baz’s cookbook.
Art has always been at the center of my world and my passion for food came when I learned just how positively powerful it can be for your health and happiness. My love for the two became perfectly married at Genuine Ginger. I’m so grateful to be here creating meaningful content for such amazing brands with this truly inspiring team!

Hi! I’m Raquel!!
I’m the Social Media Marketing Specialist for Genuine Ginger supporting the planning, captions, analytics, and content creation! I have my BA in Human Communications from Cal State Fullerton, which helps me best embody our brands. Naturally, I spend a lot of time on social media and I am most inspired by brands that encourage a healthier, happier, more unified world ☺️
Outside of work, I spend my time playing chess, going on hikes, hitting the beach, and spending time with my closest people! To relax, I like to cook a delicious meal, drink a good glass of wine, and curl up on the couch with my boyfriend and pets. A little *fun fact* about myself: my first word was “.com” so I was destined to end up in the social media industry!
And if you’re wondering, I’m a Gemini sun, Leo moon, and Taurus rising as well as a Slytherin Potterhead 🤗
