Real Talk: Why I Love Following Justin and Ashley Silva

 

When it comes to social media, I find myself drawn to influencers who feel real, the ones who make you laugh, who share their life openly, and who honestly feel like you could be friends in real life. That’s exactly why I love following Justin Silva and his wife, Ashley Silva.

They aren’t just funny and entertaining, they’re down-to-earth, relatable, and genuinely good people. One thing that makes me feel especially connected to Ashley is that she’s Puerto Rican, just like me. It’s so refreshing to see someone proudly representing our culture while still being completely herself. Their dynamic as a couple is also part of what makes following them so enjoyable. You can tell they love each other, they respect each other, and they don’t try to be perfect.

Why Influencer Marketing Works

Watching them has made me realize something important about influencer marketing: it doesn’t feel like marketing. When Justin and Ashley share something—whether it’s a product, a brand partnership, or just their daily life—it comes across as natural. It’s not forced, and it’s not a sales pitch. That’s exactly what makes it work.

Influencer marketing today is about building trust and connection. I pay attention to what they recommend because I genuinely believe they wouldn’t promote something they don’t love or use. This is why companies are so eager to work with influencers like them, they create authentic relationships that traditional advertising just can’t match.

How Justin and Ashley Keep It Real

Justin and Ashley use smart strategies to stay connected to their audience:

  • They post consistently on TikTok and Instagram, but their content never feels repetitive or staged.
  • They share their real life—the good, bad, and the funny. They don’t pretend to be perfect, and I really appreciate that honesty.
  • Ashley embraces her Puerto Rican culture, which I personally love because it makes me feel seen and connected.
  • Their chemistry as a couple is natural and fun. Whether they’re joking around or getting real about life, their dynamic is what keeps people watching.

Why Influencers Matter

Justin and Ashley are perfect examples of how influencers can transform modern marketing. They make brands feel more approachable and trustworthy. Instead of seeing a traditional ad, I feel like I’m getting a genuine recommendation from someone I know.

This is the heart of influencer marketing, it’s not about pushing products, it’s about creating real connections. When Ashley shares a product she loves, or when Justin promotes his comedy shows, it feels personal. And because I trust them, I’m naturally more interested in what they have to say.

Final Thoughts

I love following Justin and Ashley because they show that you don’t have to be perfect to inspire people, you just have to be yourself. They’re relatable, funny, and truly down-to-earth. They’ve built a loyal community by being honest and sharing their real story.

Influencer marketing works best when it’s built on authenticity, and Justin and Ashley are a perfect example of how powerful that can be. They make you feel like you’re part of their journey and that’s what keeps people coming back.

From the minute I open my eyes to the second I shut them at night; my phone is pretty much right there with me. Whether its staying in touch with loved ones, sneaking in a few laughs during the workday, or just scrolling to relax, I'm in it like everyone else in the world. Here's a little glimpse into what a typical day looks like for me and how digital media weaves its way into every part of it. I'll also touch on how it is changing the way marketing hits us too. Morning Routine: Yep, I Scroll before I Brush my Teeth Ok, ok I'll admit it, most mornings I grab my phone before I even roll out of bed. As many times as I tell myself I'm going to stop doing it, it never fails. I'll open Facebook or Instagram first thing just to "check in." Thirty minutes later I'm still scrolling, hooked on memes, reels or pos...

How Whirlpool’s “Every day, care” Campaign Connects with Real-Life Consumers

  Appliances aren’t usually the most exciting topic, it's no secret. But Whirlpool managed to flip the script with a campaign that didn’t just promote washers and dryers, it celebrated everyday care and the people behind it. Their “Every day, care” campaign became a standout example of how digital media, when used well, can actually meet a consumer’s emotional and practical needs. In a world where we scroll through thousands of ads daily, Whirlpool stood out by focusing less on products and more on people, and that made all the difference.   What Did Whirlpool Do Well? Whirlpool’s campaign focused on the idea that small acts of care such as doing the dishes or folding laundry are more than chores. They’re quiet ways of showing love. Through video storytelling and user-generated content, Whirlpool highlighted everyday families and made them the heroes of the story.
