Overview

In today’s world of LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok – these platforms are not just for the select few but have become mainstream content providers with the ability to influence, target and reach on a global basis. They’ve also become the tools of choice for journalists, e-commerce platforms and public sector (governments and NGOs) to increase consumer engagement.

For many of us, creating posts for social media may seem easy. Marketers and brands around the world know there’s more to social media content creation and editing than meets the eye. From posting updates with the perfect hashtag to creating the right tone of voice, this module seeks to impart participants with the skills and knowledge of creating targeted social media content so as to allow them to use the medium to their best advantage.

Learning Objectives

Understand the context, background and workings of social media platforms
Structure their use of language and create content to target specific audience segments
Leverage brand communities and influencer management
