If you’re new to advertising on Facebook and Instagram, this course is the best and most useful introduction offered anywhere. If you’ve experimented with Meta advertising in the past but felt you never got past the basics, this one-module course will instantly ramp up your confidence and skill level.
Facebook and Instagram (Meta) Fundamentals, a one-module course, replaces hours of muddling through on your own with clear, step-by-step guidance. Social media ad strategist and Meta Certified Trainer Kineta Kelsall will take you from the very beginning—navigating the Ads Manager interface—through setting up ad campaigns, budgeting and scheduling, targeting audiences, understanding ad formats, and finally, launching your campaign. A recorded class is available if you can’t attend the live presentation, but we encourage you to attend live if you can so you can ask questions.
As with all DMAnc courses, upon completion, you’ll get links to both the recorded video and the slide deck, so you can re-watch and review them at any time.
