A fundamental shift has taken place in relationship between companies and their customers. Social media and Social networking platforms have opened up new ways companies engage with their customers, drive, sustain and grow their brand.
It has become routine for people to use search engines to find products and services and then evaluate them via the social networks. Organizations and business models have started to change to reflect this new environment. They need social media marketing experts to create well-rounded strategies that can reflect brand values in multiple interactive ways.
The course in Social Media Marketing has been initiated to meet this requirement of trained social media professionals. More details on course curriculum, admissions etc. are available at http://www.sac.ac.in/
