Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Xannelle @xanquotic

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Hi! My name is Huiping but I’m also known as Xannelle. I’m from Singapore and currently studying in NUS, previously from Temasek Polytechnic, graduated with a Marketing diploma! I’ve recently grew interest in the social media world, thus I’m hoping to find a platform to expand myself ?. Although I may not have many followers at this point of time, I’m confident that I’m able to influence others as my friends are always asking me where did I buy my stuffs from and such. I’m an accessory lover (especially the chuncky ones!) and I like reading (about everything!). I also like talking about life and providing true opinions!

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

My feed in Instagram was a little messy in the past, but I’ve been tidying it up to show more of my fashion sense, skewing towards accessories. I like looking at clothings, makeup and following the current fashion trend. However, I would not totally follow it because I enjoy being unique, so I’ll add a little more of something to make my outfit stand out from the rest 🙂

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I merged ‘Xannelle’ and ‘Exquisite’ together! Exquisite is not a word to describe myself (hahah), but rather my accessories. I’ve always love accessories since young so I relate exquisite to jewelry because they are always very delicate and beautiful!

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I usually use VSCO to add a little filter to my picture, in HB1 or F2. I will add a little more contrast and brighten my picture a little if it’s too dark. Other than that, everything stays as it is!

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

I would say Emma Watsons if she’s considered a Instagrammer because her personality is true on both off-screen and on-screen. And she’s a righteous female character whom I really look up to. Chloe Choo is another instagrammer that I really like because of her character

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Going to Tokyo! Tokyo is a city that everyone should visit because of the serenity and people even though they may be surrounded by the Ring of Fire. It’s pretty sad that the people there are always facing natural disasters but I guess that’s what makes all of them cherish their life and be kind to one another. I truly enjoyed my holiday in Tokyo and I manage to meet new friends there 🙂 Everything there is just awesome!

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

Being able to educate others about things that they may not know of! I feel great when people tell me that I’ve helped them in certain ways, indirectly or directly.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Keep the advertisement as simple as possible with a powerful message behind it. For example, promotion of eye cream. The advertisement can be presented in a way that it shows half of a model’s face for before and after effect with a simple message of “The eye bag magic”.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

It’s very important to present an original content so that your viewers is able to trust you in future. That will in turn, generate more real and interested subscribers in the long run.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I get to learn more about the brand and understand them and their products! I love branding so I’m very interested in knowing more about different brands’ personalities.
