Course Content:
Social Research:
Just who are your audience? What do they do, think, feel, eat, love, hate and
‘like’? And what do they think about you? Knowledge is power. And both knowledge
and power are fascinating.
This module gives you the research techniques to know your audience, and
cultural and industry trends. Every day the very people you want to reach throw
up gigantic amounts of data. Without the right tools and thinking, it’s a
critical mass of meaningless banality. With the right tools and thinking, you
have insight deep into hearts and souls.
Delve into these tools and put them to use, including the new Google Analytics 4
platform.
Social Content:
Facebook kittens. Twitter debates. Instagram filters. People can’t get enough
content on social media – so better content means better opportunities.
So, what does your audience want to see, like and share? With streamlined
planning, clever strategy and targeted scheduling, putting the right content in
front of the right people is no longer a shot in the dark!
Now, you can create amazing content formats that capture the attention of
audiences across all social platforms. You can strategize and plan using
cutting-edge tools that make your channels stand out from all the others. This
module covers the various content formats across platforms, the power and
practice of scheduling content and how you can bring it all together with super
strategies.
Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest:
Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest are powerhouses of the social media world.
They provide you and your brand with the chance to interact with your customers
across the globe at scale. But, each of them has unique features, analytics, and
quirks.
The module gives you a deep understanding of how these platforms work, how to
make your brand stand out in these different spaces, and why you need a spread
of messaging across each to succeed.
• Build an active, engaged and captive community across each channel.
• Create compelling and clever ads that target your audience at the right time.
• Use analytics to understand what your audience is doing. Then tweak your
content to resonate in all the right ways.
• Master the key features of each channel to advertise, strategize and optimize.
• Manage each platform so you get the best reach and results.
• Reach billions of social loving people every day!
Twitter:
Twitter marches to its own drum in the social media world – less post and wait,
more what’s happening right now. It’s a platform that allows your audience to
see, report and comment on world events in almost real-time.
It’s also a place where the audience is young, wealthy and educated. Twitter
literally challenges you to be ‘more clever’, and this module shows you how.
• What a successful Twitter account looks and acts like.
• How to use Twitter Ads Manager to advertise effectively.
• The right Twitter Ad format for your campaign.
• Using Twitter Analytics to react and connect better.
• How to create more Tweet-friendly content – snappy, shareable and short.
• When to post for maximum impact and engagement.
LinkedIn:
This module will introduce you to the platform and show you how to use features
such as Company pages and Showcase pages, to create a stellar presence for your
company – and gain a deep understanding of what that means on LinkedIn.
You will understand the unique advertising features and content formats on offer
such as Text ads, Sponsored ads, Sponsored InMails, Display ads, and the aptly
named Dynamic ads. See what best practice means on this platform, strategize
like a CEO and measure the effectiveness of your campaigns. Linkedin can be a
tricky platform to master as the tone is hard to crack. But do Linkedin well and
your competitors will be scrambling to copy you! You’ve got this – because we
do.
YouTube & Social Video:
YouTube because you have eyes to see. And a picture speaks a thousand words –
and this being social, should inspire a few thousand too. Social video is one of
the most awesome tools in your new bag of digital tricks. And video is no longer
the preserve of guys with film study degrees.
This superpower is now yours, and here we give you all the tech and thought
basics to make it happen, including how to set up and manage a YouTube channel
and create strategies that don’t treat creativity like a buzzword. Learn how
video sits within the rest of your mix across platforms, build your online
audience and use advertising and analytics for visual campaigns that mesmerise.
• Set up and manage a dynamic YouTube channel.
• Get creative with social video strategies that engage and convert.
• Learn how video sits within the rest of your social media mix.
• Build and develop your online audience in a way that benefits your brand.
• Use advertising and analytics to deliver mesmerizing visual.
Social Apps:
If you’re looking to create a buzz online, then social apps are the place to be.
Think fun, engaging, and ‘out of the box’ as that’s what these platforms are
made for and audiences flock to them (particularly a young demographic).
Discover how to use TikTok, Snapchat, WeChat, WhatsApp, and Twitch to tune into
your audience effectively. Take a dive into features and understand how to
manage content to make the most of everything you post.
You’ll also understand how to advertise on the apps that suit your brand. Plus,
take inspiration from the best by seeing what campaigns worked and why, so you
can TikTok your way to social success.
Social Commerce and Affiliate Marketing:
With so many eyes on social media, it pays (literally) to know how to market and
sell your products online. Social commerce happens when an astute marketer
combines the best of social media with the best of e-commerce.
You’ll explore the ins and outs of social commerce along with how to create a
successful online shop. The latest tactics and tools will be covered so you can
make social buying seamless from the first click to the last. You’ll also
explore how to optimize paid commerce activity – including cart abandonment – to
get the best results.
Looking for a way to earn extra money while you grow? Use your social media to
tap into affiliate marketing – a great way to earn commission by promoting
another company’s products or brand you admire.
When it comes to influencing, social media allows you to think BIG. Tap into the
world of social influencers by connecting and collaborating with people that
think like you. Or reach out to your influencer crush and shine a light on your
brand by getting into their social feed.
Social Customer Service:
One of the best dynamics of social media is how it manages to be collective –
the thoughts of billions – yet also personal (it’s about what I ‘like’). This
leaves scope for important personal interaction – meaning social customer
service is an opportunity for your brand to stand out.
This module examines the customer experience. It looks at how to break your
audience down into buyer personas so you know them better – and so serve them
better. It shows you which platforms do service best and how.
Need a social customer service strategy? – no problem. Want to understand how to
manage social customer service effectively? – that’s easy. Not sure how to
measure and analyze customer service performance? – well, you will now!
This module focuses on your customer’s happiness so you can build a contented
online community. An audience that feels connected to your brand, so they’ll
tell everyone else how great it really is.
Social Strategy:
So, you have the skills, tools, followers, know-how, tech, smarts and big ideas.
Now learn to tie it all together with cutting-edge social strategies practiced
by the world’s leading brands. And work out how your social offering sits with –
or carries – the rest of your marketing mix.
Here we look at planning a dynamic social media strategy that works for you. We
dive into setting objectives and social KPIs so you know what you want and can
track how you’re getting there. Social media and content production budgets are
also explored so you put your money in the places that work, rather than those
that don’t.
Turn your social media dream into a reality by crafting a social strategy that
lets you and your brand sparkle.
