TOP REVIEWS FROM SOCIAL MARKETING CAPSTONE PROJECT
I was very very happy to learn social marketing course
Excellent overall. Different strategies from leaders in the field.
It was an insightful course which looked at key strategies most often ignored by social marketers. Randy did a great job on that excel sheet for the capstone project! Thank you.
Great Course! The further you go, the more in depth it is. I'll admit I was intimidated by the tasks but I really learned a lot and feel good that I stuck it out!
