CyreneQ: From a Snapchat artist to a Snapchat storyteller

CyreneQ during the NDAA 2017 call of entries

Cyrene Quiamco, commonly known as Cyrene Q in social media, has been amusing everyone with her unique artworks – from celebrity portraits to collages of Disney characters in Snapchat.

Quiamco joined Snapchat in 2014 when she was still working as a web designer for a telecommunications company. Her celebrity selfie series became viral on social media and opened a lot of doors for the 27-year-old Filipina social media influencer.

In 2015, she decided to quit her stable job to become a full-time Snapchat storyteller. Since then, Cyrene Q has been successful in turning her favorite hobby into a lucrative job. She has worked with big companies such as Walmart, Samsung, MTV, and Disney where she creates her own snaps and doodles for a specific project and earns as much as $500 million per year.

Cyrene Q believes that brands are now choosing Snapchat as a platform for advertising because it is more engaging compared to other apps. “People do not only watch you but they interact with you”, Quiamco said. She tries her best to converse with her followers and she thinks that it is the reason why brands choose her and why people love her.
