Course Overview
Nowadays, most social media channels have modified their algorithms to the point where organic posts only reach a fraction of their intended target audience. It has forced advertisers to invest budget behind paid social campaigns, in order to extend their reach and fulfil their campaign goals.
However, each platform has its unique audiences, behaviours, complex options, and specific rules to follow, in order to get results.
Emarketeers' Social Media Advertising training course shares examples, knowledge and expertise across the core social channels, with proven ways to augment your organisation’s application of social media advertising. You’ll understand best practice and see what works through interactive examples.
This one-day hands-on course will illustrate the different elements of the social media advertising toolkit, empowering you with the knowledge and skills needed to plan and optimise your social advertising campaigns.
