On the then-new photo-sharing site, Eswein grabbed up @baking, @food, and @realestate in a manner comparable to domain squatting, with the idea that the simple account names would be simple for people to locate and draw sizable followings. The less complicated, the better!
However, Eswein's personal account, @newyorkcity, was the most popular and the one that gave her the opportunity to start her own Instagram business. The account's name suggests that it was devoted to capturing New York City's countless stunning scenes, skylines, and personalities. She adheres to her commitment to New York!
As soon as people saw and liked their beloved New York from a fresh perspective, they began to watch her, adore her, and wait for her content. Because of her attention to detail, Liz Eswein's account soon gained a following and corporations like T-Mobile started giving her $500 to publish images, proving that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."

This awareness of how brands exploit influencers and popular names online, Liz Eswein came up with an idea to combat this issue. Hence giving birth to the idea of The Mobile Media Lab. It is due to her awareness they herself along with many popular influencers such as Blair Eadie and Leandra Cohen are recognized fairly for their efforts too.
Mobile Media Lab
A Creative agency promoting and showcasing the Instagram influencers in the right light to the brands so the brands can be wary of exploiting them in any way. Knowing how instagrammers not only put their photos online but present a deep creative thought process, months of hard work and tones of thoughts behind each picture, the Mobile Media lab connects the right influencer to the right agency.
In order to demonstrate the amount of work that Instagram influencers put into each picture, Eswein gave an example of how she hardly ever uses the stock iPhone camera app. Her phone is filled with nine different apps, each of which is designed for a certain purpose, like taking pictures in low light. Following the capture of the images, she edits them using her assortment of 22 photo-editing applications.
