When a company wants to address its audience through social networks, it can choose between Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, X (formerly Twitter), Pinterest and many others. The percentage of usage varies from generation to generation, and according to the type of industry you're in (B2B vs. B2C). A thorough understanding of social platforms, their usage and technical characteristics is therefore essential to reach the right users at the right time, with the right content.

The short program will focus on the creation of a social networking strategy, within the framework of concrete cases that students will develop. Tools for content creation, paid advertising and analysis will be presented, along with their organizational and budgetary implications. Several examples of existing campaigns will be analyzed to illustrate the strategic challenges of social networking. Come and discuss these challenges as part of the 3-day continuing education program on social networks offered by the HEC Lausanne continuing education center.
