“The response was so positive that we decided to launch a version of Flight School for non-agency marketers,” says Twitter Flight program manager Clodagh OBrien. “The new, interactive curriculum for brands is packed with exclusive consumer insights and research, in-depth product tutorials, and fresh case studies. Marketers who sign up for Flight School will also gain access to a trove of tips and downloadable presentations they can use to develop campaign ideas and prepare for senior-level meetings.”
“Students begin by selecting a job-specific ‘flight path,’” explains OBrien. “Executives can learn how to use Twitter to build their personal brands and inspire thought leadership, while mid-level marketers can brush up on day-to-day Twitter content planning and budget allocation. Both paths contain a handful of courses that take less than an hour to complete, and can easily be done from a desk or a phone.”
Courses include: Twitter 101, How to create and manage objective-based campaigns, how to integrate Twitter into a TV campaign, and How to drive website traffic and conversions.
Those who complete their goals can earn an official badge, which can be displayed in emails and LinkedIn profiles.
