After years of training marketing professionals and business owners on the art and science of social media marketing, we have created a social media certification program.
The social media certification is an intensive program that covers everything you need to know from start to finish to create and implement a solid social media marketing program. The social media certification program has been created by Krista Neher and Boot Camp Digital in consultation with countless social media experts and practitioners.
“Krista Neher’s disciplined yet entertaining social media boot camp training literally ‘engaged’ me to construct a 40+ page marketing launch plan. I will be able to take action immediately through both established and my newly-created social media real estate. I highly recommend Cincinnati State’s Institute for Social Media to recharge any seasoned marketing professional’s engines or set the course for any business looking to socialize their message.” Patrice Watson, Chief Strategist/CEO, Raise Your Share
Our program has received the highest scores from participants.
Want to get Certified?
The social media certification is currently offered through Cincinnati State’s Workforce Development Center. The program through Cincinnati State has been accredited through the institution for 3 college credits and approved by an advisory board.
We are also developing an at-home learning version of the program and are looking for education partners to work with. If you are interested in offering the Social Media Certification program through your organization or institution, please contact us.
We also offer the certification program for corporations and other organizations.
