The Sharjah Media City "Shams" announced the launch of the "Influencers' Room" program on Monday after selecting participants based on the evaluation of submitted applications.

The "Influencers' Room" program at Sharjah Media City offers workshops and interactive sessions focused on key topics like influencer marketing, content creation, brand collaboration, audience engagement, social media strategies, and personal branding.

The program will be responsible for training over 500 participants. The goal is to help participants become influencers and prepare them for jobs in the social media industry through six weeks of training led by experts, digital marketing specialists and successful influencers, WAM reported.

The program will feature inspiring talks from well-known influencers who will share their journeys, experiences, and helpful insights. These talks will focus on challenges, success stories, and tips for standing out in the competitive influencer field.

Participants will have the chance to network with fellow participants, industry professionals, and potential partners. They will also engage in special meetings to encourage collaboration and build relationships within the community of emerging influencers and content creators.

Rashid Abdullah Al Obad, Director of Sharjah Media City, said that the program aims to support and empower content creators by giving them the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed. This program provides a unique opportunity for growth and professionalism in the industry.

Al Obad explained that the Influencers' Room program is one of Sharjah Media City's key initiatives aimed at developing the media sector and supporting talent. By organizing events like this, Sharjah Media City plans to help future generations improve their thinking, shape their personalities, and develop their creative skills.

He stressed that the program will be an opportunity for all young talents and creatives on different social media platforms. It will help grow businesses in this field and assist them in turning their ideas into successful and impactful projects, expanding their creative potential.

Earlier this year, the social media bigwigs delved into the challenges faced by content creators during the second day of the 1 Billion Followers Summit and explored strategies, including the creation of a support system of experts, to enhance the growth and success of digital content creators.

The two-day summit held at the Emirates Towers and the Museum of the Future highlighted the key issues where hundreds of CEOs and businesses gathered, including creators.
