The Influencer

Hi, guys!

It's me, Abbie Rose.

And today we're gonna be talking

about a new trend that I love.

Florals, sparkles, fur!

A female Nutrocon employee settled out of court today.

Ending the last of six lawsuits

filed against the cosmetic giant

over sexual misconduct in the workplace.

Nutrocon stock continues to ex-ex-explode!

The company executes its growth strategy by acquisition,

buying four companies this week.

Hi guys, I wanted to show you all

a behind the scenes look at Studio Abbie Rose.

In the beginning, I did this all myself,

but when you have so many fans

it is just impossible to keep up.

So I have my amazing team of interns

who help with my content

at Le house of Abbie.

Hello?

Oh my God. It's really you.

Hi!

You must be the new girl.

Trendygirl something, right?

99, Trendygirl99.

I have liked, like, every single one of your posts

and I'm usually one of the first people to comment too.

Right!

Come in and meet the team.

Use the smudge tool, not the blur.

And fix that unevenness in my cheek right there.

I am never using that photographer again.

So, the team comes in every Wednesday

from noon until around 6:00.

Once a week isn't usually enough.

So you all get weekly assignments to do remotely

on your free time, of course.

That's so cool.

Abbie, can we take our lunch break now?

Uh, yeah, sure.

There's sandwiches for you in the fridge.

Why are you using that photo?

The lighting is so inconsistent!

This is a brand you're working with here.

I am a brand now!

If a single post doesn't fit,

that could be the end of all of this!

Oh, no.

It is crazy the kind of influence you have

when everyone knows who you are.

So did you have any questions?

Um, yeah, the post didn't mention

if there was any pay.

Oh, uh,

yeah, this is an unpaid internship.

Okay.

But there is room for growth.

I have been thinking about hiring

a full-time assistant.

I've just been giving it a little bit of time

to decide who on the team really fits my je ne sais quoi.

Okay, awesome!

Oh, okay.

Well, welcome to the team.

Sorry.

What was your name?

It's-

Abbie?

There's only ham sandwiches here.

Some of us are vegan, remember?

Can't you just take the meat out?

There's veggies on there too

and cheese!

Everyone loves cheese.

Cheese is murder.

How are you guys so picky?

What the hell?

I can't believe you turned down a Nutrocon deal.

It's not about the money.

Oh, right.

It's about the artistic integrity.

Well, the whole reason I started doing this

was so I wouldn't have to work a 9:00 to 5:00.

It was hard at first,

but I think I finally figured out

a way to make it work for me.

At first?

You just said you couldn't go out

because money's tight.

I have interns to feed.

And have you seen how much they charge

for an avocado these days?

Well, you know who just got a Nutrocon deal?

LisaXoX and she just made another post

about how you copied her summer trends video.

Oh, that bitch is just trying to get me

to make some sappy apology video.

Oh, I fucking hate that bitch.

And maybe you should.

It would get so many views

'cause she's like a full blown celebrity now,

not just some influencer vlogger.

No offense.

You need to engage in the drama.

Like what's the point of having so many followers

if you don't do something big like-

Okay! Whatever.

There are way more important things going on in the world

than some stupid feud between me and Lisa.

Oh, it's them again.

Answer it!

All right!

Jeez.

All right, Skylar.

I'll talk to you later.

Milk 'em dry, girl.

Milk 'em dry!

Abbie, it's Brad,

one of the executives at Digital Famous Media.

Hi.

Yeah, I remember you from the meeting.

My assistant Taylor told me

about your conversation yesterday

and I just wanted to reach out personally.

He did mention the offer was for 200 grand, right?

Nutrocon wants you all over this new line

with multiple posts a day on different platforms,

a couple of events a week, and there's nine

- countries to be- - Look.

I don't wanna come off as being ungrateful or anything,

and you guys have been getting me great campaigns,

but I just feel like

I'm being a bit low-balled here.

- Low-balled? - By the time I'm done,

75K goes to taxes.

I have a monthly mortgage on a house,

six interns I have to feed,

and a shit ton of freelancers to pay.

Abbie, I'm gonna lay this out

and you're gonna shut up and listen.

Then you can decide to take it or leave it.

The only reason we're not passing the sale

on to the next girl in our list of 400 influencers

is because we've already invested years of our time

into making your name big enough

to even get an offer like this,

because that's what we do.

The point of all this is to make you a household name,

a trusted name,

a name that sells.

If you don't want that,

then we can't work with you anymore.

Uh, no I'm-

You're how old now?

29?

How much longer can you keep running your brand like this?

People wanna party where you party

in the clubs, in the clothes you party in.

People want what is hot now.

Do you wanna go all the way

and secure your future in this industry

or do you wanna just get a real job?

Okay.

I knew you'd come around.

But I want 500,000.

Both my channel and my photo posts

have over 1 million followers each

with an over 6% engagement rate, okay?

These are loyal consumers,

not just people flipping through a magazine, okay?

So I want 500,000.

300.

And if you think you're gonna get more than that, you're out

- of your goddamn mind. - 400,000 and I will

shove that makeup so far down their throats

they will be gagging for weeks.

That's why we love you, Abbie.

We're totally going to send you

to a rave on an island for this.

Oh, can you get a pic of me with these earrings?

The brand just paid me to tag them in a post.

They're so hot.

You can have them.

I only wear genuine silver.

Everything else hurts my ear holes.

Oh, shit.

There's this girl I've been texting.

She tryin' to smash, bro.

- Is that her? - Yeah.

Yo, Abbie!

Oh, shit, shit.

It's Justin.

Why won't this guy just leave me alone?

His friend though.

Oh my God.

- Yo Abbie. What's up? - Oh, hey, Justin.

So glad to run into you.

Hey Skylar, this is my buddy Juaquin.

Hi, Juaquin.
