Apparently, KIM Advertising had taken a huge risk in promoting the Modern Closet.

More than half of the investment in the campaign was done by Archer himself.

That’s why the entire team was over the moon for this victory. They not only got an equal return on investment but also became the talk of the town.

The agency proved that they were the best for a reason. They showed their competitors that they can help small businesses reach new heights.

They showed how capable they are in their field of work.

That night, everyone was high on the win. We were so engrossed in celebrating, that we didn’t expect what would come next.

The very next day, I woke up to one million followers on Instagram.

I became an internet celebrity overnight.

One of the posts of the ad campaign went viral. I was tagged in the pictures like the other models.

Through that post, people began checking out my Instagram account. I had like ten or so pictures there. And most of them were with Goldie.

Imagine my shock when I opened the app and saw the notifications flooding in.

It was overwhelming. All of it. The thousands of likes. The comments. The DMs.

While the majority of them liked me and my heterochromia eyes. Not everything was positive.

Some called me weird. I even found a few comments calling me a witch. That one was funny.

It was all fun and games until they started attacking me for my choice of clothes.

That day, I realized what a dark place social media is.

Another thing I understood from this was people loved hating on others for no reason.

I was being criticized by people I didn’t even know and had never met in my life.

When I was a regular girl, I used to get 5 to 10 likes on each post. No one to spread hate. But once my account blew up, people began loving and hating me.

In a nutshell, it was hell.

I would’ve deleted my social media accounts if it weren’t for Raleigh. He said I am an “influencer” now. And I should take advantage of it.

I didn’t understand a thing. As he was the expert, I let him handle it.

Turns out, that going viral isn’t really a bad thing. Because I started getting new modeling assignments.

In just one week, I did about six photoshoots. Hannah taught me how to negotiate the payment. She also taught me a few tips and tricks to appear confident while handling such matters.

I even got emails regarding paid posts on my Instagram. It was all too much to handle for me. So Hannah proposed me a better plan.

She said KIM Advertising not only advertises the brands but also represents many models. Like any modeling agency.

The models they represent get to feature in KIM Advertising campaigns as well as work in the fashion industry.

I was on board. Because that meant spending more time with my new friends here.

I had a meeting today and I was just on my way out when I saw the LED wall.

I’ll be forever grateful to Hannah. She gave me a chance to do something new. She believed in me. Sought me out because she thought I was the best for the campaign.
