As part of the Meta family of apps, Facebook and Instagram are two of the go-to platforms for online marketers and advertising spend. This one-day course will cover paid strategies across both channels.

The session has been especially designed for practitioners already managing paid campaigns across Facebook, Instagram and Messenger but looking to learn advanced techniques to improve brand awareness and drive performance. A large section of the training will be spent in-platform, where you’ll be given tasks to choose the appropriate set-up based on requirements for a media plan.

Our Facebook Advanced: Media Buying course is delivered via Virtual Classroom. We also offer it as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in South Africa.

If you're new to Facebook Advertising or just starting out using Meta as an ad platform, we recommend starting with our Introduction to Facebook Advertising course first. It's also worth noting that if you’re looking for a Facebook campaign strategy training session, then this Media Buying training course is ideal; however, if you’re responsible for managing campaigns end to end, then we’d recommend taking this course and the Facebook Ads: Media Planning course together.

Really interesting course which covered a lot of aspects of Facebook! I thought I knew a lot about Facebook but this course made me realise how much more there is to it! Emma Horton was a brilliant trainer and kept me engaged and interested throughout the whole course. I'd highly recommend!
