Professional Influencer, the Tom's Hardware course and Event Horizon School

Influencers have now begun to be part of the everyday life of each of us, but have you ever wondered how to become a Professional Influencer?

sportsgaming.win and Event Horizon School, the school of digital arts in Milan, have started a collaboration to give us the answer to this question, creating the first course in Italy to become an Influencer: the Professional Influencer course. The master, starting towards the end of January 2021, is open to all people who love to share their creative ideas and create content for Social Media. Students will be able to acquire skills in three different disciplines, all equally important when intending to work in the world of influencers: Marketing, Videomaking and Photography.

Why study Influencers?

In an increasingly digitalized and connected world, it is increasingly important for companies to create content that is able to capture the attention of an increasingly public informed, thanks to the large amount of information available online, and less and less accustomed to looking at content for a long time. The search for an alternative approach, a different voice that can effectively tell a project to the public, has pushed brands to rely on the hands of these professionals. In reality, there is still an open debate about who influencers are and what they do. Commonly, the term influencer refers to a person with a large following on social media, capable of exercising power over his audience so as to change their purchasing behavior.

For this work of conviction to be possible, influencers must have the trust of their followers, who identify with them thanks to their spontaneity and their closeness, which is often more perceived than real. Their voice is that of a colleague, friend or neighbor, a person the public knows, and to whom he turns for advice. Knowing the world of Influencer Marketing, and all the professional opportunities that a master like the Professional Influencer course can give, is therefore essential for all those who wish to approach the world of digital communication. Those of Influencer, Social Media Manager, Influencer Manager, YouTube Network Specialist, Influencer Marketing Campaign Manager and Talent Scout are envisioned, in fact, as professions increasingly requested by companies.
