Program Overview: What is Social Media Marketing and Community?
Social Media Marketing & Community is Edstellar's instructor-led program for social media managers, content marketers, community managers, and demand-gen owners. Participants cover audience research, content strategy and editorial planning, community engagement playbooks, paid social execution, social listening, and analytics. The program closes with a capstone: a 90-day social and community growth plan for the team's own brand.
Training is hands-on across all 24 hours, with guided labs built on the team's real channels and audiences. Marketers map audiences and content pillars, draft editorial calendars, script engagement playbooks, plan paid campaigns, and build reporting dashboards in supervised workshops. Instructors review every artifact with direct feedback, pushing the team past vanity metrics toward plans that move the business. The 5.5-hour capstone turns the coursework into a 90-day growth plan the team can actually execute.
Brand channels often run on autopilot: sporadic posting, engagement that never converts, and reporting nobody trusts. This program teaches marketers to run social as a growth channel: researched audiences, planned content, deliberate community playbooks, and analytics that prove impact. Everything is practiced on the team's own accounts, so the strategy fits the brand from day one.
The capstone leaves the team with the one artifact most marketing teams never finish: a 90-day social and community growth plan that is researched, calendared, budgeted, and defended in review. It is not a template filled in for the exercise; it is the team's real plan, reviewed by practitioners, ready to run the Monday after training ends.
Across six modules your marketers practice with guided labs: mapping audiences and content pillars, drafting engagement playbooks, launching paid social tests, and building listening dashboards. The program closes with a capstone where each team ships a 90-day social and community growth plan, reviewed by the instructor.

Connect Social Content and Community Plans With Measurable Audience Decisions
Edstellar develops social-marketing capability through connected audience, content, community, and campaign work. Participants create editorial systems, plan engagement, and interpret listening and performance evidence. A social and community plan is reviewed for coherent priorities, justified budget choices, and meaningful measures for evaluating community activity and pipeline contribution.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore audience understanding, platform familiarity, and marketing responsibilities to identify gaps in editorial planning, community engagement, paid campaigns, and performance interpretation.
- Step 02
Plan
Audience research leads into content systems, engagement playbooks, paid social, and listening analytics before an integrated growth plan and budget defense.
- Step 03
Align
Social-marketing and community expertise supports content, community, and demand-generation roles, explaining paid activity without assuming previous campaign-management experience or platform-specific mastery.
- Step 04
Customize
A fictional brand, sample audience research, and anonymized campaign results provide relevant planning practice without exposing customer communities or launching real advertising.
- Step 05
Execute
Teams develop editorial calendars, engagement approaches, and listening dashboards, receiving feedback on audience relevance, ownership, attribution assumptions, and the clarity of reporting.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the plan for consistent audience-content choices, practical community routines, supported budget priorities, and measures that can evaluate the proposed activities.
