Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Zivia @iamzeekofficial

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

My name is Zivia Kolbe, I’m 18 years old and I’m an aspiring fashion and lifestyle blogger from South Africa

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

I mainly post fashion pictures and products that I absolutely love.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

@iamzeekofficial, so my family calls me “Zee” short for Zivia so I thought it would be a good fit because I had to explain how to pronounce my actual name (like Nivea but instead of the N put a Z) it was originally @iamzee.kofficial but it made no impact.

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

So the only app I use at the moment is VSCO and for my editing routine I don’t actually think I have one because I do not have a cohesive feed at the moment, but if it looks good I’ll post it.

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

Mainly Instagramers I was have to say Aisha Baker from bakedtheblog.com and Nadia Jaftha from Birdline Blog.

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

A delicious Starbucks holiday drink, my fav.

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

I would have to say being able to express your own opinion on your platform and being able to help as well as reach out to other influencers.

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

If you’re not satisfied with the product don’t promote it until it’s up to your standards and it should be something you’re proud of.

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

Stay true to your content, if it’s not your style don’t post it and be confident in your content

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

I haven’t actually partnered with any brands as of yet but hopefully in 2017 I am presented with the opportunity to collaborate with a brand
