Introduction
Identifying the correct measures and understanding the best tools to evaluate these measures adds to the overall success of your organization’s digital and social media strategy. Having the tools in place to evaluate the effectiveness of your digital and social media deployments enables you to continue investing in the techniques that are working, and modify those techniques that may not be performing at an optimal level. It is not enough to generate reports about your digital and social media deployment. It is important to use these reports to drive changes in your tactical deployment plan and improve the execution. In essence, it is critical that organizations measure what matters and are making what matters measurable!
This Metrics, Measurement and Analytics course focuses on providing participants with the knowledge and skills to allow them to evaluate their organization’s digital and social media deployments. This course is designed to ensure that organizations are measuring the correct items; using the appropriate free and paid tools to provide the actionable information needed and that the appropriate individuals in the organization have access to and the capability to act on the data.
This program is delivered through recorded modules and live sessions. Approximately half will be delivered through recorded modules and half delivered through live sessions. Participants can start the recorded content at any time but MUST be completed all of the recorded content before being invited and attending the live sessions.
Once you have completed the recorded modules, you will be invited to the live sessions. After each session, you will have a bit of ‘homework/application’ where you implement your learnings as you go. You MUST complete the recorded content before being invited to the live sessions and both the recorded content and live sessions are mandatory for your Certificate of Completion.
