Great overview of major social media networks, their reach and own characteristics. The guided step by step exercise on objectives, KPIs,, target audience and customer journeys was brilliant. It made something that may sound really complex, easy and practical. Very helpful to implement in our own projects.

A very helpful and practical course for beginners and non-marketing professionals alike. I have been in leadership roles for more than a decade and still find this offers a simple, structured and easy-to-apply knowledge as well as insights of social media landscape and use in everyday marketing. Well done!

I use limited social media personally but this introductory course introduced some popular ones and techniques that I hadn't thought of yet. The peer review assignments was obviously nerve racking for some as you don't know when your assignment will be graded but I did enjoy its incorporation to the class.

good course, well explained, easy to understand and not tedious. It is important to know that the internet has evolved and therefore, to have it present in the companies, no matter how small they are, having a good digital marketing will lead us to the success of our company. I really enjoyed the course :)

I learned a lot from this course. I am so impressed with setting up SMART goals that are measurable and achievable. I also learned that a company also needs to understand the customer's needs and journey. Thank you, COURSERA, DOST Philippines, and Anke! This course is extremely helpful in this digital era!

I love Anke! Such a passion to share her knowledge and help others succeed! I own a small online vintage shop along with my partner, and I love how she breaks it down for the big businesses, but then also gives it how it is for the smaller guys doing it on their own!

Thank you Anke!

I knew about the different social media platform but what i didn't know was what benefit each social media and depending on your goal and content will determine what platform will work best. I was enlighten about the customer journey and the SMART goal. It has put me on the right track for success.

Great course. Good explanations on the different topics and the quizzes are very helpful to know how much you understood. The instructors are great and it's easy to follow along. You definitely need some experience in ads manager and listen carefully if you want to achive the associate certificate.

I did learn a great deal in this course. It was tougher than I expected, which was a good thing. The video content is well put together and easy to follow. The quiz questions make you think and the assignments were straightforward but challenging. I thought this was a very well-put-together course.

Muy completo, aprendi a definir un publico objetivo, a entender un metodo para encontrarlo, y que metricas crear y usar para medir la efectividad del proceso. Entendi mejor como funciona el marketing, y una de sus mas lindas definiciones, " el arte y la ciencia de vender productos y servicios"

Good foundational info on what it takes to become a social media marketer. I've learned that each platform has it's purpose for the type of social media marketing you want to do and that their are a wide variety of platforms out there that I've not explored yet that will help me in the future.

Highly detailed content. Very good course to get you familiar with common social media accounts, and what their target audiences are. How to create a SMART goal and set your Key Performance Indicators. How to create policies in regards to employee's posting content onto social media and blogs.

The first course in the Social Media Marketing certification provided a lot of information, resources and hands-on experience via projects in order to prepare a person for digital marketing. I appreciate that the course had multiple ways of representing the materials and showcasing knowledge.
