Learn Hands-On Social Marketing with Nedra Kline Weinreich
"A soup to nuts crash course in social marketing and its application"
- Kate Hull, VP of Communications, RAINN
How do you help people adopt behaviors that will make them healthier and better off? How can you create positive social change?
At Social Marketing University, you will move beyond the usual educational approach to changing health and social behaviors. Using social marketing, you will learn how to persuade individuals to take action for change by addressing the values, needs and desires that motivate them. It's about understanding and connecting with your audience by applying the same effective marketing tools that companies like Nike and Apple use.
Join Nedra Kline Weinreich for this two and a half-day training that will introduce you to the key concepts of social marketing. By the time you leave, you will have an effective social marketing strategy for your own program and the skills to implement it immediately.
You Should Attend if You Are:
- Someone who wants to create health or social change
- A professional at a nonprofit/NGO, public agency or other organization working on health or social issues
- A commercial marketer who wants to apply your skills towards changing the world for the better OR
