Social platforms are like languages – each has its own rules, rhythms and ways of connecting with people.

This course unpacks each of the major social media channels, exploring what makes audiences engage on LinkedIn, TikTok – and everything in between.

You'll discover the demographics, behaviours and content preferences unique to each platform. And how to tailor your approach accordingly with fresh, unconventional strategies that cut through.

Master platform-specific content and watch your social performance soar.

What you’ll learn

You'll explore each major social platform in depth and learn how to create content that performs on each one. By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

  • Understand the purpose and popularity of the 7 major social platforms in the Australian landscape: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TikTok and Snapchat
  • Identify which channels are right for your brand and why
  • Tailor content to each platform’s strengths and audience behaviours
  • Recognise consumer behaviour patterns across different social environments
  • Apply content best practices to boost visibility and performance on each channel
  • Explore niche platforms like Pinterest, Reddit and Twitch – and assess their potential
  • Use paid advertising to strategically amplify your organic reach
  • Establish an authentic social presence that drives engagement and brand growth

Delve into each social channel, exploring its purpose, popularity in Australia and reasons why it may be appropriate for some brands and not for others. We've used current best practice examples from effective campaigns to illustrate this.
