Course Summary
In the modern world, social media has become incredibly important in many ways. The majority of younger and some older generations spend their entire lives online. This has transformed the way consumers interact with organisations and services, and to remain relevant, it is critical for organisations to engage in social media to build rapport with their audience.
Social media is far more complex than one might expect. A wide range of factors can influence an organisation’s success, and it is important for the organisation to effectively strategize and plan its online presence and identify. There must be a strong understanding of how to best optimise its content and navigate social media algorithms that dictate what is popular and worth promoting.
An organisation must consider the inner workings of the social media network and fully engage with its target audience. Social media users crave interaction, and communicating effectively is essential to creating the foundation of trust.
