Summary:

Like it or loathe it, Facebook is a fact of life. In just sixteen years, Facebook has inextricably woven its way into the very fabric of society, impacting the way we behave socially, culturally, politically and commercially with the world around us.
To ignore it is futile. To understand its potential is empowering. To use it as an effective communications channel is a PR imperative.
This online course sets out the different ways that public relations professionals could and should be leveraging the multitude of features that Facebook offers. More importantly, you will learn how to creatively engage your audiences without having to heavily rely on paid social media tactics to guarantee success.
If someone tells you that “organic is dead” whilst discussing the role of Facebook in PR, make a note of their name and vow that that you’ll never listen to them ever again. It’s a mantra that has curtailed the PR industry’s creative understanding of Facebook and it’s time to put an end to this inaccurate paradigm. By venturing beyond the confines of a brand Page, you’ll see new ways of activating your comms strategies using Groups, Messenger, Events, Live Video, Stories and a whole load of other Facebook tools.
