Janine Sharell

Gen X UGC Creator◆ Former CNN Correspondent◆ Brand Storyteller◆ Marketing Executive

I don't just create content, I create trust.

After three decades in television, journalism, entertainment, and brand marketing, I know how to capture attention, tell memorable stories, and connect with audiences in ways that are relatable and feel effortless.

Today I partner with brands to produce premium user-generated content, product demonstrations, testimonials, lifestyle videos, and spokesperson campaigns that inspire confidence and drive engagement.

Whether the category is fashion, beauty, wellness, hospitality, home, travel, food + wine, or lifestyle, I deliver polished, relatable content that reflects your brand while speaking directly to the people you want to reach.

Trusted storytelling. Broadcast experience. Modern UGC that converts.

Personal Branding

Why Brands Trust Me

A career built on authentic connection. I have been a communicator and storyteller in front of the camera and behind it for over two decades. I know what the root of a story is, what gives a product meaning and importance, what makes people want what I have. When brands partner with me, they get someone who understands narrative, audience, and the difference between talking to the camera and reaching a person.
