Instagram & YouTube for Business

This badge recognises my learning around using Instagram and YouTube in a business context. By understanding audience demographics, consumer behaviour and platform algorithms, I can make informed use of the marketing opportunities these platforms offer. I understand how to build an engaged online community by creating purposeful, shareable content. I have explored the essential features and functions of both platforms that support visibility and discoverability including effective hashtag use, strong descriptions and SEO fundamentals.
