When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Transform your social media from a daily chore into a strategic powerhouse. This course is designed for marketers who want to move beyond reactive posting and learn how to use professional platforms to drive efficiency, consistency, and meaningful customer engagement. You'll discover the key advantages of using scheduling tools like Buffer or Later to build a proactive content calendar, saving time and ensuring your brand message is always on point.

Through hands-on, practical instruction, you’ll learn to manage a centralized inbox, applying brand-aligned templates to respond to customer comments quickly and professionally—much like the sharp, on-brand teams at Wendy's and Glossier. We’ll explore real-world case studies from National Geographic to leading airlines, showing you how to balance automated efficiency with authentic interaction. The course culminates in a hands-on simulation where you’ll manage a live social media queue and craft a strategic memo, giving you the skills and confidence to implement and justify a unified, powerful social media workflow in your own organization.
