Course Overview
Within the digital advertising world, Meta is dominating the dollars. Organisations in the consumer, B2B and not-for-profit space are using Facebook and Instagram advertising to fulfil their marketing objectives. Yet for many advertisers, the platform and Ads Manager, with their myriad of options, can be intimidating and confusing.
Emarketeers' Facebook & Instagram Advertising training course will lead you through the stages in developing and optimising your ad campaigns. The course explains the strategic decisions you will need to take in order to harness the full capability of the platform, and it will also provide a hands-on approach to setting up Facebook or Instagram ads using Meta Ads Manager.
As requested by many of our attendees, the course will also explain the technical nuts and bolts when implementing the Meta Pixel, and will help you set up and optimise your Meta Events, campaign structure, budgets, biding, audiences and creative, so that you are maximising your campaign performance and ROI.
By the end of this course, you will have discovered how Meta ads really work, giving your campaigns the best possible chance of success.
