Syllabus

Although this course is short, it is packed with insight and is highly interactive. Like all our courses, don't expect to be just sitting around reading Powerpoint slides! During the course, we will spend some of the time looking at the main concepts of social marketing and then move on to examining some of the key activities that make up the social marketing planning process. All this is supported by relevant case studies and group exercises. 

The main topics covered are;

  • The key principles of social marketing and an introduction to the social marketing planning process.
  • The importance of involving stakeholders in your social marketing project.
  • Conducting insightful research, segmentation and the need to set SMART behavioural goals. 
  • Using actionable insight to develop your social marketing programme. 
  • An introduction to evaluation.
