Zey Agency’s partners, advertisers, clients and communication agencies were met with a warm welcome prior to the arrival of the influencers for the training.
The event was a full day of certified training aimed at boosting the digital project performance of influencers. Facilitated by international experts in digital marketing, public relations, and coaching, participants were treated to invaluable insights and skills enhancement.

The event boasted notable attendees including actor and rapper Anas Basbousi, artist Tawsen, and many others from the Moroccan cinema scene.
MWN also interviewed Tawsen, a panelist who addressed the dynamic between influencers and brand coaching, who provided valuable insights on navigating the marketing aspect. The event’s marketing session was titled “Influencers and Brands – How to Forge a Professional Relationship?”
“I really think that we need more of these events because influencers, artists, and people who work on creation, on social media, need to be aware of the importance they have with their followers,” Tawsen told MWN. He continued that this group needs to know how to use social media very well because “when you have a lot of people following you, you just need to use it for a positive way.”
