Developing a Social Media Strategy

Learners develop a social media strategy. The focus is on skills-building and on creating and implementing a social media strategy including identifying and working with social media tools, assessing how tools support overall branding, advertising, marketing and/or communication strategies. Learners explore, identify and engage online communities that support internal and external social media strategies. In addition, learners are introduced to resources that aid in the development and implementation of effective social media strategies and differences between the major social media channels, their evolution, and the current and future status of social media for business. Through case studies, learners explore both best practices and cautions when designing social media strategies.
