Why Take this Course?
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.
