Social Media Marketing provides students with an accessible yet complete introduction to social media marketing. The book guides readers through an interactive project that introduces them to key functional areas of social media marketing, including social networking, target audience profiles, social media audit, content marketing, social media analytics, and overall social media strategy. This hands-on approach helps students better understand the practical application of theoretical concepts. Additionally, students get to see strategic marketing in action as they observe how brand creation works within the social media ecosystem.

Social Media Marketing helps readers understand how the implementation of a strategic and intentional social media marketing plan can help a business better connect with customers, generate interest, and achieve goals. It is an excellent resource for instructors who teach courses in social media marketing, integrated marketing communications, and marketing principles.
