In the early days of social media, it was used as a means of communicating with people from other parts of the world. However, it slowly evolved into a source of mainstream entertainment as more channels created videos designed to entertain people. As time went by, more people began exploring social media’s power to make them famous quickly. Now, thousands of individuals are making a fortune uploading videos all over the web.
Marketing became a recent addition to the benefits of social media to people from all lines of work. Lately, another form of social media marketing called influencer marketing has become popular across all platforms. This type of marketing refers to social media influencers endorsing certain products or services from other companies. One name that has made strides in this type of social media marketing is Igor Montemor.
A social media influencer is an everyday person who has built up their name through interesting content on their platforms. Montemor himself is an influencer who has endorsed many brands in the past through his Facebook and Instagram pages. He also launched his own website to which he links other businesses he owns and manages. Montemor, who is based in Miami, is known for building an influencer marketing agency called Furlough.
Before becoming a social media influencer, he left his corporate job in the financial technology industry that he held for almost 13 years. Montemor worked for the Lennar Corporation, a home construction and real estate company based in Florida. For most people, a job with a Fortune 500 company like Lennar should be held on to for life, but Montemor had bigger plans for himself. During his time at Lennar, Montemor moved the bulk of his income into cryptocurrency investments.
According to Montemor and the rest of his team, Furlough is a brand that fosters an ecosystem of growth and collaboration. It aims to connect entrepreneurs, mentors, students, professionals and brands as they work together to gain collaborative growth. People are able to support their peers and favorite creators through various channels, sessions and events.
In addition, Furlough allows all creators to step into the limelight and shine as they express their creative freedom. The company offers mastermind sessions every day of the week to help creators build their influence and gain exposure in other communities. Through Furlough, people can also get into a network of global professionals from whom they can learn many things and get optimum results.
Montemor spends most of his time working at Furlough as he learns from the things his own company offers. Aside from being hands-on with the company, he also owns a hotel in Tulum, Mexico, which he named The Furlough. Montemor has another company based in Miami called CNX Collective, a digital marketing agency.
Jumping from his established career in the corporate world to building his own name was quite challenging for Montemor. However, building his own company was his lifelong dream, so he was willing to give up his stable career to build himself a future he controlled. Montemor wants to turn his companies into trademarks in their respective industries in Miami. Given the success he’s already enjoying, it’s safe to say that he’s close to achieving this.
