Two Scots businesswomen are hoping their new reality TV programme will get them recognised world-wide. 'The Agency: Unfiltered', which airs on BBC Scotland next week, promises to give a never been seen before insight into the country's biggest influencer agency.
Uddingston-based Aquarius Creative is co-owned by Kirsten Cameron, 30, and Amy Moore, 26, and it's their mission to make their mark in the world of social media.
The new six-part series will give viewers an idea of the day to day running of the firm - from what it's like signing big-name clients and collaborating with major brands, to dealing with the challenges of running a business and the drama that comes with working in the fast-paced industry.
Speaking to the Record, Amy said: "A massive thing for us is really just showing what it's like to work behind the senses in the industry. A lot of people who follow the influencers know exactly what they do.
"But I think it's going to be a real eye opener to see what it's like for influencer managers and people who are running businesses as well."
Kirsten said: "My brother always says to me 'get a real job'. That's just the opinion people have because they see all the glamorous side, all the freebies, all the parties, all the events but me, Amy and the girls work hard and you'll see that throughout the show. All the ups and downs."
During the first episode, Amy and Kirsten organise a huge event designed to bring together the agency's clients and influencers in a celebration of all things beauty and fashion.
At the same time, they have just taken on two new clients, Abbie and Molly, who are two of the biggest influencers in Scotland.
Meanwhile, homelife is just as busy for Kirsten who has her own big event coming up, she's expecting a baby. And speaking about that, Amy admitted it felt strange not having her there while Kirsten was off on maternity leave, saying: "For seven years now we have worked together, and we're so used to having each other there at all times. We've never really been apart more than a week. It did take a while for me to get used to."
Kirsten couldn't take an extensive period of leave due to the nature of their business, the pair promoted an existing member of staff to take on extra roles during the maternity cover.
Kirsten has since given birth to her little bundle of joy, Ace, and said: "You can't take full maternity when it's your own business.
"Obviously it was such a new thing for me, but when it's your own business you can't ever really switch off even when you've had a baby.
"Amy was asking me questions when I was in the hospital about work, so I was always there to bounce ideas off her."
The influencers also have their own dramas unfolding. Abigail, one of the agency's longest standing influencers tries to persuade her boyfriend, Taylor to move from Falkirk to Glasgow with her and Abbie, who after having cosmetic surgery a year ago, goes for a check-up at the clinic to see if her revision surgery is healing well.
'The Agency: Unfiltered' will air on the BBC Scotland channel and BBC iPlayer at 10pm on Monday February 13.
