Llandudno, Conwy Jun 29, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Myla Lennox, A Three-year-old little girl from within a small town in the heart of North Wales, United Kingdom is a growing Instagram Influencer who is strongly building a presence across the social platform & taking it by storm with recently gaining over a thousand followers in 28days. The internet has changed how we live today. We were lucky enough to be able to interview the parents of Myla on why social media is extremely powerful when it comes to having a personal brand or being a public figure/influencer & how the growth is going to benefit Myla in the near future!
Thank you so much for joining us! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to push for this specific career path?
With a background of Marketing, Social Media & PR whilst working in many bars & clubs across the country I stepped it all aside & thought the biggest growth in the world is an online presence, therefore, developed an Instagram account for Myla who is my Three-year-old daughter & it blew up from there onwards, I have built various social media platforms for companies that I have worked alongside in the past but non that in the end hold any value for myself whereas this is putting all my strengths into my own child & will be everlasting.
Why Instagram & Can you share the most interesting story that happened since you started these ventures for her?
At first, it all started off with a Twitter [Hashtag] which can still be found when following Twitter #qmyla and the attention gained on that was on a large scale but this wasn't her own domain, this was pushed from other peoples which came from numerous of Verified accounts ranging from all sorts of people from over the world, but that wasn't enough & Instagram is the growing platform, you see every influencer, famous person & brand pushing Instagram so that just instantly attracted me to the platform for her sake. Not only that, This is virtual, live documentation of her life so people will get old with her, they will grow up alongside her, maybe not in person but online & as stated earlier - Online growth is only getting bigger.
But what's more important than that to me is the fact that this is an online photo album of Myla for Myla, so when she's older her entire life will be there for her to look back on - which is why we don't allow photos that are too embarrassing as she will only kill us when older if we have done that to her.
We had to ask but, please tell us why qmyla & not just Myla?
Bizarre story, but the god's honest truth? She's my Queen & that's all there is to it really, so qmyla simply means 'Queen Myla' - I have no doubt about it that when she's old enough the Instagram handle will more than likely get changed, but she will struggle as I have looked at alternatives to simpler options, or even options that are just in relevance with her name but now there's a hashtag that accumulates alongside it so really its all just a branding thing, even her website URL which is currently being build and is on divert to her Instagram is www.qmyla.co.uk
Can you share a story about a mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
I think my biggest mistake, & regret was ever starting off without Instagram, I started it when she was already over a year old so had to back date a lot of the stuff posted, and screenshotted a lot of the Twitter stuff & shared it on her feed, I do tell new parents that I come across though so start their own Instagram, whether it be private for family only or Public for the growth side of it I think the fact that it is always going to be there is such a positive for the future.
What do you think makes Myla an influencer stand out? Can you share a story?
I think the fact that every photo is RAW, yes there may be a few tweaks to sharpen the image, maybe a little vignette to darken the edges but that's only ever to put a focus on the moment that's happening, regardless, non of her images are taken from the mobile phone, passed to a laptop edited & then sent back to publication - every image must come as it does, I want the girl to grow up loving herself as she is, not looking back at old images thinking she wasn't good enough in her own skin and body as that would do nothing but damage her thought process, mental health & self-care and that's a message for everyone, love your self and be proud of you as you without trying to replicate the next person you scroll upon.
How have you used Myla's success to bring goodness to the world?
In a sense, yes - The account is managed by both, her Dad & her Mum and often the account is used to share worldwide stories and news articles, a #BlackLivesMatter photo was recently shared in support for all the protests going on regarding race & humanity, her account is also in paid partnership with the Coronavirus updates team which is a good sign that the account is going in the right direction.
Which tips would you recommend to other people in the industry to help them to thrive and not crash and burn?
The biggest advice I can give is to stay positive, be humble and remain calm in all situations, do not take every word you read to heart, the world has a lot of negative people within it, don't let them drag you down but most of all I can't emphasize it enough LOVE YOURSELF!
What outcome do you want from this social growth?
Truthfully? There is no real outcome, every post is its own, some have 500+ likes, others have as little as 100, which is a lot for a 3year old that barely knows about her account but going forward I have to look at it as a matter of it is what it is but will only hopefully grow more and more which is a strong possibility considering she grew 1000 followers in 28days!
Are you open and willing to work with brands and have discussions supporting any causes that may be relevant to you?
Absolutely, we work with a few brand through the platform already, which range from Bow companies, Clothing Brands right down to design companies, check out our latest Profile photo from the guys over at Simply Grey Artworks - at the moment they are the biggest brand/companies I am pushing and supporting but also in discussion with a new Bow Company to work alongside them... Only the future can answer this question really but yes, we are very open and willing to discuss so if anyone wishes to work with us now in the future we are active around the clock & are very responsive when it comes to getting back to people.
How do we find Myla on Instagram?
