Influence, Inc.

Manage a digital influence agency in this strategy-simulation game about modern-day propaganda and advertising. Manipulate social media and the mainstream news to promote celebrities, market products, and even sway elections. Research, share, leak, and target your way to influence.

Features

• Control of a business that provides influence for hire, mostly through social media.
• Missions from a variety of clients: corporations, talent agencies, governments, and others. You choose who you want to work with, and what types of jobs you’re willing to undertake.
• A network of public attention, eager for the next scandal that you may choose to break

During your experience, you might* reflect on questions such as:

• How does what we pay attention to and what we ignore shape reality?
• Who is manipulating our attention, and why?
• How is social media shaping news and journalism?
• How is media used to both promote and fight authoritarianism?

* Or, you might just blithely pursue profit. The choice is yours.
