SMM and communication strategies

This course is for those who (think they!) “know everything about SMM*”. Promotion algorithms and formats of popular content are constantly changing. We created this course so that graduates will be able to answer a very difficult yet simple question: how to make SMM bring maximum benefits to your current project, and what tools you should personally choose for this.
SMM and communication strategies

The course is based on practical work with colleagues and teachers. We will take you through analytics and parsing tools, launch advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, exchange news about algorithms (there are a lot of them now). We will approach the creation of a communication strategy as consciously as possible, not only through analytics and KPI, but in accordance with your capabilities and strengths.

Creative lessons during the course will be devoted to the practice of creating and promoting complex content formats that require expertise in various areas from design and video editing to storytelling.

Hello! My name is Katerina Avdeeva. I have been working in SMM for 8 years: I can design sites and subscriptions, analyze audiences, reduce the contact price by 10 times, attract leads and convert them into sales. Target, analytics, hypotheses and tests. And, judging by the questionnaires, I am the most favorite teacher among students at the Prague School.

Firstly, this in itself is a very cool workshop, very funny and motivating. We didn't just study SMM tools and work according to our requests (which is very humane and cool in itself), but we also moved, did performances, joked, and really communicated. Community is important. And after attending this workshop, this is what you get: a community of professionals who can be asked for advice or even take on a project of yours. Secondly, this is a course of study that is as close as possible to what you need. No pointless lifestyle advice ("We will teach you how to live.")! We started by exchanging requests (what we needed) and competencies(what we already knew). This greatly enhanced our self-esteem, which is also important. The course helps you to clearly understand: here I can rely on this, but here I need to catch up. Thirdly, these are the latest trends, newest tools, most relevant information. No bullshit and no cheating. If the teachers do not know how something works, they say so: “let's find out together!”. Therefore, I love social networks in general: this is exploration, research, study, communication. And in all this we found common cause with the Prague School.

A condition for participation in the School was the availability of a specific media project, which I had, but I only the words, images and sample schemes. During the training at the school, the tutors helped me formulate the communication strategy of my project (which I had never managed to work out before), and helped me to deconstruct the functionality and structure of the project into separate components. In general, for me it is called "cleared up." The lessons on working with metrics and analytics were very useful. It is important that the tutors approached the learning process, as it were, with tenderness. There was a lot of information, but it was stated clearly and intelligibly.
