Purpose

This level develops the ability to grow a presence deliberately, using research and testing rather than hoping that a post performs well by chance. Growth is treated as something planned rather than something wished for.

What You'll Learn

  • You cover channel strategy across markets, brand safety and tone guidelines, resourcing and workflow, measurement frameworks, and how organic social sits alongside paid activity and the rest of marketing
