How I became the face of my brand.
👇🏽
Photographer had been booked.
Models had been paid for and call time communicated.
Small chops was available
Makeup artist and hair stylists were working on the mood board.
I was pumped as I needed images for socials.
20 mins past model call time,no models had come.
Started calling and it was one excuse after the other.
1 hr past model call time,everyone on set was getting antsy.
I had already started practicing the poses that the photographer was to show the models and how to hold the products.
1 hour and 20 mins, no one in sight!!
I looked into the mirror and said ‘Funke,the little
Beauty you have put it to good use today!!!
I looked at the entire team and said ‘I AM AVAILABLE,USE ME!!!!!!’
For a second I thought that consumers wouldn’t want to see an older person (Over 40 years old) being the face of a beauty brand in Nigeria.
Models came in late,joined the shoot at the end.
These images have been shared,commented on positively,used During brand exhibitions and increased brand patronage.
Lesson learned-You beautiful in your own way.
It’s never too late to serve face and looks.
You are your best influencer.
