About the course

The social media landscape is constantly changing. The tools you can use on each are expanding all the time, and the way you might use each platform shifts a little every year.

In these two sessions you will learn the potential benefits of each major social platform for you and your business in 2021, so you can decide not just what to share, but where to share it to get the greatest value from that time investment.

We will also do a deep-dive into LinkedIn, which has evolved far beyond a place to look for jobs, and become an exciting platform for connecting with your business audience in new ways.
