Course overview
How can you use social media to connect and reach new audiences, build trust, gain valuable insights, improve customer experience, grow your brand and drive top-line revenue? Consumer influence is growing, as they use the social web to engage in discussions around the products they purchase, and those discussions are happening without the hospitality brands being able to control them.
