As I mentioned on the blog before, digital marketing and social media classes are one of the three ways we help businesses at Baker Labs (the other two are Contracting and Coaching). Classes normally have a few students, and in the three hours of class we cover the basics of social media and digital marketing. Students leave with actionable help on getting started, or taking their next digital steps, and I always learn about an interesting business!
Classes cover topics like: Facebook, Twitter, Social media strategy, blogging and email marketing. All of the classes are taught through the University of Tennessee Professional and Non-Credit classes and qualify for the Social Media Certificate. From sushi chefs, to consultants, entrepreneurs and corporate employees, these classes are full of interesting people! Classes are three hours long and are usually from 5-10 students.
