Overview

In a 2014 study of CEOs and CMOs, IBM found 63% wanted social strategies which generate business metrics while only 20% of businesses worldwide actually have them. This means strategies which not only grow your company’s social footprint but link to your sales and marketing systems. With this critical linkage, your social and mobile strategies will provide you with the ability to engage consumers at a 1-to-1 level and measure your social investments in terms of costs, revenues, profits and ROI.

Reviews

This opened my eyes to the realities of social marketing budgeting and running a successful program.

This course was excellent, so interesting. The material was well structured and had continuity.

Good "cookbook" for create, apply and manage applied marketing, in a real term to a company.

Another excellent class in the series. Straight-forward information about transforming social media marketing knowledge into an ongoing program.

The best for anyone who wants to truly understand what social media really is.
