From the Creator Academy to youth development

KOL Simulator grew out of the Creator Academy. Building on the Academy's success, Connector Club extended the programme into youth development, so young people get to practise in a real setting before they start out.

Everyone has unique influence

Everyone has unique influence. Sometimes all that's missing is a first step. We're the participants' first companion and audience, connecting them directly with real industry players.

Many young people have ideas and creativity, and use social media every day. But between "I'm interested" and "a brand wants to work with me" there's often no starting point: they aren't sure what their angle is, or how to introduce themselves to a brand. KOL Simulator is built to close that gap.

The path the programme takes you on

  1. Content positioningWork out what you want to say and who you're saying it to, and shape your own content direction.
  2. Meet real industry playersConnect directly with people working in the market, not just theory in a classroom.
  3. PitchingLearn to present yourself and your content clearly to the industry.
