How Kyra is rewriting the rules of video
Pitching itself as a TV network for Gen Z, Kyra is the brains behind fashion-focused YouTube shows PAQ and NAYVA. We talk to Creative Director Kaio Grizzelle about writing for real-life content, and finding inspiration everywhere from haute couture to Geordie Shore
We’ve become all too familiar with the tendency to view social as a dumping ground for content. Scroll through your Facebook newsfeed and you’ll likely be met with a deluge of cat videos, while YouTube is now home to thousands of would-be vloggers – some more successful than others.
