The Aussie influencer tapped by Apple

Tech giant Apple have tapped the star power of Australia’s leading fitspo star Kayla Itsines. The personal trainer and founder of the Bikini Body Guide has landed a role in Apple’s latest advertising campaign.

The fitness aficionado – who currently has 4.9 million Instagram fans – is the only Australian to feature in the campaign. She stars alongside the likes of Nick Jonas, Alice Cooper, Jon Batiste and Chloë Sevigny in the stylised videos.

The 15-second video titled Climb sees Itsines focus on the watch’s heart rate tracking ability, and displays her running up a flight of stairs. With the major company acknowledging Itsines’ growing global fame, her appointment to the ads reveals the growing influence and selling power social media stars hold.
