  • Expressive?

    Not afraid of a little attention? Whether it's sharing your opinion, presenting an idea or building your own brand, you stand up for yourself and dare to stand out. We'll teach you how to develop your personal style, how to present yourself professionally and how to help others do the same.

  • Results-oriented?

Influencer marketing in practice

From a broad perspective, you will learn how content creators have changed and continue to shape the commercial world. Consumers often have a lot of trust in the people they follow. Using influencers ensures a larger number of followers and with that more trust and interest in your company, brand or product, leading ultimately to more sales and turnover. The bond that influencers have with their followers and audience can be an important and efficient link in the success of your brand, product or service. Where do you see yourself becoming successful: in front of or behind the cameras?

Become an influencer marketer

You think like an entrepreneur and know what content best suits your target audience. You will learn how to match faces and personalities with a brand, product or innovative idea to get the right people excited. Behind the scenes or in the spotlight, after this specialisation you will know the world of online engagement and conversion, and be able to spot commercial opportunities and deals from miles away.
