And emerging technology and new platforms are constantly influencing our marketing and presenting us with new and interesting ways to convey a message, create utility, and connect with our audiences. The key to all of this is that the customer and their needs are now at the center of everything we create and build – from product, to app, to content. Come join us for an online class that unpacks a social media strategy, both paid and organic content, influencers, and the experiences that inspire us as we strive to develop programs for our own businesses.
