About the awards mechanism
BritMums has a two-tiered judging system — incorporating public votes and a Judging Panel. In this way, the awards reward those Influencers who, through high-quality content creation, have won a wide audience, while also allowing those who are just starting to build their brand to also gain recognition.

Hi Jen and Susanna,
We’re due to launch a new podcast, The London Parentcast, in a few weeks, and wondered if you’d like to take part in a podcast? We predominantly speak with London bloggers and influencers. I’m not sure if either of you live in London but from your bios it looks like you have both worked in London at some time? Regardless, I’m sure your network contains many Londoners and that you’d have valuable insights into the struggle for work/life/family balance, which is chiefly what the podcast is all about. Our first recording session is next Thursday in the podcast studios at Soho Radio at 2pm. Let me know if you might be available for an interview or if you might like to join me in a future session.
Best,
Victoria
