Her blog and the business of partnerships with brands
A symbiotic relationship is facilitated between Olwethu and brands through: matching Olwethu's circumstantial needs, and different brands interests - which ultimately results in the achievement of mutually beneficial goals.
Klaas in Session is different from other blogs because it is founded on the premise of fostering the owners personal enjoyment, and not making profits and gaining notoriety within fashion circles primarily. This means that there is an unwavering authenticity to the sassy opinions and reviews on this blog. This also means that brands approaching Olwethu about partnerships and the like, are not always guaranteed a deal. However, should conducting business eventually be agreed to, Olwethu and her blog bring something worth investing in to any brand.
Olwethu possesses abilities in global networking, insight into style, trend forecasting, marketing, blogging;she has incredible authority over writing in the English language, is multilingual, has the ability to manage digital media, is developing a finesse with photography, and liaises with celebrities.
