Social media influencers have become a highly important part of the industry. With that, the famous Condé Nast Italia has launched its first ever social academy with the goal of training aspiring youngsters with an influencer certificate! Yep, you can indeed be a certified influencer now!
Condé Nast Italia’s editorial and corporate communication director, Luca Dini, said that the purpose of the degree is to “dispel a false myth, that influencers are the enemies of media companies,”
The course will be focused on how social media works and the correct way to use it. It contains 240 hours of lessons teaching digital marketing, video editing, content development and audience management.
To be admitted to the school, you need to be 19 years old or above, with a high-school diploma and be enrolled at a university.
This year, Condé Nast had their first academic term with 20 students, but in 2018, two more terms will be added, while each term will be accepting 40 students. What an interesting and fun school to be attending, no?!
