What You Will Learn
Social Research
Who exactly is your audience? What do they do, think, feel, eat, love, hate, and ‘like’? And how do they perceive you? Knowledge is power—and both are captivating.
This module equips you with research techniques to understand your audience, along with cultural and industry trends. Every day, your target audience generates massive amounts of data. Without the right tools and mindset, it’s just overwhelming noise. But with the right approach, you can gain deep insights into their hearts and minds.
