KM:
I just loved clean aesthetics and wanted to create something that was fresh with a luxury feel. So I was inspired by many different people and things when I first started, and still am today. I get inspired on a daily basis by loads of different things around me and in the media.

What are your thoughts on the trend of using brand influencers as part of integrated marketing campaigns and do you believe that brands are utilizing brand influencers effectively?
What are your thoughts on the trend of using brand influencers as part of integrated marketing campaigns and do you believe that brands are utilizing brand influencers effectively?
KM:
Yes, today's consumers are looking for inspiration and value the advice of 'real' and authentic people like influencers. If the right influencer is placed with the right brand to advertise to a niche market, it becomes successful because they are reaching a market that is actually interested in the product or service that is being advertised through an influencer.

Is the environment for creatives and brand influencers collaborative or competitive in South Africa and have you collaborated with other South African bloggers/brand influencers/creatives (if so, which ones)?

KM:
Yes. I have collaborated with other bloggers. It is all about knowing that there is enough opportunity to go around for all of us. The industry is competitive but there is enough room for new and upcoming bloggers, you need to be different and stand out from the rest, and know your brand identity and stick to that. If you can do that well, and establish yourself well; then you will go far.

Where do you see WILLKATE in the next five
years?
KM:
It's hard to say because I trust in God's path for my career. However, I do see WILLKATE with a bigger global team creating more global content.
