Meta advertising has entered a new era of AI-driven automation. Advantage+ campaigns, AI-powered audiences, and automated optimization can dramatically improve performance—but only when marketers know how to guide technology with the right strategy and creative.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to combine Meta’s latest AI capabilities with proven marketing principles to build more effective campaigns, improve targeting, increase engagement, and maximize advertising ROI.
Through two practical modules covering media strategy and creative execution, you’ll gain a framework for using Meta’s automation tools without losing the human insight that drives results.
Can’t make it to the live session? No problem. We’ll send the workshop video, workbooks, and supplementary materials shortly after recording so you can catch up, revisit, or reinforce your learning.
Advantage+ can do a lot of heavy lifting now. But handing everything over to automation without understanding what it’s doing — or where it needs your input — is how budgets get wasted.
This module is about knowing exactly where the AI ends and your strategy begins. You’ll learn how to use Meta’s AI tools properly — Advantage+ campaigns, AI-built audiences, automated placements — while keeping enough human input in the loop that your media buying stays sharp, not generic. We’ll cover the measurement tools that actually matter, how to read and act on them quickly, and the objective and optimization settings that decide whether your budget works for you or against you.
Key Takeaways:
The best media strategy in the world won’t save a creative that doesn’t connect. On Meta, the scroll is instant and unforgiving — your creative has about a second to earn the next one.
This module is about building creative that holds attention and adds real value, not just creative that ticks a format box. We’ll get into hook-writing that actually works, how and when to rotate creative so fatigue doesn’t kill your results, and how to use every format Meta gives you — Reels, Stories, carousels, static — with intent rather than habit. We’ll also cover captions properly: not just what to say, but how to write them with platform SEO in mind, so your content gets found as well as watched.

Is your social media engagement declining? Are your posts generating less reach than they did a year or two ago? Are you wondering whether it’s your content, the algorithms, or simply that social media has changed?
If so, you’re not alone.
Over the past few years, social media marketing has evolved dramatically. Platform algorithms continue to shift, audience expectations are changing, short-form video has become a dominant content format, and marketers are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable business results with limited time and resources.
The strategies that worked just a year ago may no longer deliver the same results today.
This practical two-hour live workshop is designed to help marketing professionals update their social media strategy for today’s environment. Social media strategist Beverley Theresa will share proven techniques, current best practices, and real-world examples to help you create more engaging content, improve organic reach, strengthen audience relationships, and align your social media efforts with your organization’s marketing goals.
During this bootcamp, you’ll also learn how AI can support modern social media marketing by helping you research audiences, identify trends, generate ideas, analyze insights, and enhance your strategic decision-making. Rather than replacing creativity and strategic thinking, explore how AI is serving as a practical tool to help marketers work more efficiently and make more informed decisions.
You’ll discover practical ways today’s marketers are improving efficiency through better planning, smarter workflows, and modern productivity tools—allowing you to spend less time managing social media while producing stronger results.
Whether you’re responsible for social media every day or it’s one part of your broader marketing role, you’ll leave this workshop with practical ideas and strategies you can begin implementing immediately.

Join us for part 3 of this three-part workshop series on social media marketing. You can take each course individually or we recommend taking the full series for a significant discount to get the complete picture on how to manage and measure your organic and paid social media. You’ll learn practical and tactical techniques on how to use social media to complement your organization’s overall marketing strategy on all the major social platforms.
This workshop covers paid advertising on social media on all of the major social media sites: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, with a short review of Pinterest, and TikTok.
Social media sites limit the distribution of your business posts so you must use advertising to reach your followers and the general audience. Advertising in social media lets you reach tens of millions of people. We will look at the advertising platforms at each social site, one by one. Social sites also include analytics tools for your businesses, so we’ll look at those too.
