Build a brand from zero followers, manage a crisis when an employee's tweet goes viral, adapt when the algorithm wipes out 40% of your reach overnight, and negotiate a six-figure partnership without compromising your integrity.
Skills you'll build
Your learning path
Launch your brand's social presence from zero. Find your voice, identify your audience, and create content that resonates — not just fills a feed.
A blank content calendar stares back at you. Before you write a single post, you need to figure out who you sound like — because authenticity can't be reverse-engineered later.
You know what you want to say. But who needs to hear it? You're mapping the people who will care about your message — their frustrations, their aspirations, their scroll-stopping triggers.
Another brand post, another scroll-past. You refuse to add to the noise. You're building content that gives people something — a feeling, an insight, a reason to stop and think.
The first post is written. Your finger hovers over 'publish.' This is the moment where perfection becomes the enemy — and strategic imperfection becomes your launch strategy.
An employee's insensitive tweet tagged your company and it's spreading fast. Manage a social media crisis with speed, transparency, and strategic communication before it becomes your brand's defining failure.
Your phone is exploding with notifications. An employee's tweet tagged the company and it's spreading — fast. You have hours, maybe less, before the narrative sets permanently.
The internet is angry and waiting for your response. Too fast and you'll say something wrong. Too slow and silence becomes the story. You're drafting the words that will define this crisis.
The initial firestorm is dying, but the narrative is still theirs. You need to shift it — not by spin, but by action that proves your values weren't just marketing copy.
The crisis is over but the trust isn't back. You're in the long, unglamorous work of rebuilding credibility — one consistent action at a time, knowing the internet never forgets.
Engagement is dropping and the algorithm keeps changing. Adapt your strategy without losing authenticity or burning out your team.
Engagement dropped 40% in two weeks and nobody changed anything. You're diving into the analytics to find the pattern — because the algorithm shifted and you need to understand how.
The old strategy is dead. The platform rewards different behavior now, and your team is clinging to what worked last quarter. You need to pivot without losing your audience or your identity.
The algorithm wants one thing. Your audience wants another. Your values demand a third. You're standing at the intersection of reach, authenticity, and revenue — and you can't have all three.
Viral moments fade. You're building something that doesn't depend on the algorithm's mood — a community that shows up because they care, not because they were served.
A major influencer partnership could make or break your brand. Navigate contracts, creative control, and authenticity in the creator economy.
A creator with 2 million followers just DM'd your brand. The opportunity feels massive — but influence and alignment aren't the same thing, and you need to know which one this is.
They want creative control. You want brand safety. The contract negotiation is where partnership and protection collide — and the deal will live or die on what you agree to here.
Something in the creator's past content just surfaced and it doesn't align with your brand. The campaign is halfway planned. Walking away now costs money; staying might cost more.
The deal is signed. Now you're co-creating content with someone whose voice isn't yours. The magic is in the collision — but only if you trust each other enough to let it happen.
The campaign is over. The numbers are in. But 'it went viral' isn't a business result — you need to prove this partnership moved the needle in ways the CFO actually cares about.
