Maks Rasmussen, Marketing and Business Development

As my experience in business development and marketing grew so did the amount of responsibility and size of teams I had to manage. This is the main reason why I got “back to school” to better myself in the art of manageing a brand and motivating the people around me.

This course was very inspiring, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who works with people. The course covers:

That’s exactly what we went over with this course as well as applying these ideas to be more effective at marketing anything. We also went through how to make ideas stick, how to increase influence, how to generate more word of mouth, and how to use the power of social networks to spread information and influence.

To be honest, this one was paid for by a workplace, as I had to complete it as a formality.

It was nice to brush up on:

  • How to establish and manage a social media presence

  • How to create a brand, tone, and voice for a social media presence

  • How to manage a content calendar for a social media presence

  • How to evaluate the performance of content on social media and how to iterate on that performan
