The project
In the age of digital communication and social media, influencers are playing an increasingly powerful role in shaping public opinion, consumer behaviour and corporate reputation. The Influencer Academy project aims to create an annual platform for dialogue between academia, professional organisations and a new generation of opinion leaders. Through a round-table discussion bringing together research and practice, followed by a series of workshops, we will explore the key technological, social and ethical challenges facing PR today.
Goal 1
We foster dialogue between academics, students, influencers and communications professionals.
Goal 2
We explore how influencers shape public opinion, public awareness and social change.
Goal 3
We examine the impact of AI and automation on content creation and sharing.
Goal 4
We develop educational resources and practical guidance for ethical and professional influencer communications.
