About the course

Building strong online customer relationships has become essential to successful business in 2022. People are more likely to buy from you if they know you, trust you, and like you. Video is a great way of creating personal connections with your customers.

In this two–part masterclass, you will learn what makes a great video for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and how to use YouTube, Instagram Reels and TikTok to take your brand to new audiences.
