## Julius product spotlight
Keeping track of influencer-specific insights is important to building relationships. Sure, Julius tags can help you understand what the influencer is interested in, cares about, and more–but adding your own information and context to an influencer's profile is a great way to stay organized for the future. By adding Notes to an influencer's profile, you can store details like mailing addresses, personal preferences, or even documents (like NDAs and W9s) that you'll want to access in the future. To learn more about how to add a Note to an influencer's profile, check out [this Help Center article.](https://julius.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051704274-How-To-Add-A-Note-To-An-Influencer-s-Profile)
| ## Creator snapshot Jenny Ong ([@jennyong](https://www.instagram.com/jennyong/), 141K IG followers) became a backyard sustainable gardening influencer long-before the rustic cottagecore aesthetic exploded on Instagram. She actually began her career as a beauty and fashion influencer under the moniker Neon Blush, which she shed when she pivoted her lifestyle and transformed her social media presence. She calls herself a “homestead hobbyist,” spending most of her time on her small Los Angeles farm growing vegetables, raising chickens, and taking care of her dog Kota ([@goodgirlkota](https://www.instagram.com/goodgirlkota/), 349 IG followers). She has worked with fashion brands that complement her rustic style, such as Hunter Boots and Shop Bop, as well as causes that reflect her humanitarian beliefs, like Earth Justice and CA Public Health. |  *Source: @jennyong* |
