Hungarian entrepreneur Lilla Bolyki is the brains behind Miss Influencer. The 35-year-old Dubai resident, along with her team, came up with the influencer contest which aims to have a "measurable impact" on others. Lilla describes the event:
What inspired you to create Miss Influencer contest?
Somehow, I was always involved in the world of media, beauty contests and social media. Starting from Hungary when I wasn’t only working as a model for many years, but created my own Media School, teaching the young generation how to adapt to the era of digitals and mass press. After several years of running a successful project, we started to organise one of the most successful beauty contests in Hungary at that time. As the years passed by, I gained experience, knowledge about the market and also about the business perspective of the opportunities it involved. When my team and I created the idea of Miss Influencer, it wasn’t about only beauty any more. We recognised the importance of the credibility, the talent, the creativity of the girls we are working with and that it isn’t just a priority for us as a company or for the audience, but a number one preference for the sponsors and partners we are collaborating through our projects.
Describe the ideal candidate.
I can’t and don’t want to sugar coat the power of a gorgeous girl, but I definitely won’t be impressed with physical features these days. I guess everyone is aware that the magic of the glam industry lies in the possibility to make everyone beautiful with some quite fast treatments or even surgeries, but the personality, the impressiveness, the knowledge and the story behind can’t be mastered in a day. So, I would say, we are looking for someone with a stand-alone character, a story behind and a measurable impact on others.
Tell us more about the takeaways from Miss Influencer.
The Queen (winner) will receive Dh100,000 cash, a Mazda CX-30 for the whole 2023 and a 1-year luxury living in Ramee Dream Hotel. We would like to provide all the comfort for the winner to focus on what she does the best: growing.
