Course Description
A dynamic social media brand strategy is an important part of any organization's marketing, sales, recruiting, or public relations initiatives. Social media skills are now embedded in many job roles. Developing an effective social media brand strategy will grow, engage, and generate insights about your brand audience – including their motivations, interests, interactions with your brand. Using social media brand storytelling and evidence based leadership effectively helps to build a large, diverse, engaged audience of followers.
Growing and connecting with your audience, as well as harnessing the data generated from that engagement is critical to success. For example, social media can be used to create a long-term brand identity and following. Master the techniques and strategies that are practical, easy, and effective for your brand. Social media can also be used to measure the success of your networking and brand strategy. Learn to properly use the tools for analysis and reporting.
