For a career in marketing, event management, or as an Exec PA, you need to be social media savvy, or you’re going to get lost. The same goes if you’re a small business owner. Whether using social media to market your products or services, build loyalty or provide customer service advice, you need to understand the full spectrum of tools available before deciding which to use. With our Social Media for Business Award under your belt you’ll be able to create a strategy that’s highly tuned to your specific objectives.
