Social Media Marketing Analytics

Illinois Tech places social-media analytics within a broader digital-marketing measurement system. Consumer behavior and measurement models lead into web, email, paid and earned media, social channels and mobile applications. It suits learners who want to interpret social results alongside other touchpoints and communicate an analytical finding as a business decision.

What you will learn

• Explore measurement models and consumer data.
• Compare social, earned, paid and other digital analytics.
• Translate analytical findings into marketing decisions.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners ready for a longer, approximately six-week course. The syllabus covers broader digital analytics as well as social media, so compare that breadth with a narrower publishing-tool course.

Before you enroll

Compare the syllabus with your role: strategy, research, analytics and publishing tools require different preparation. Platform interfaces and account features change, and software subscriptions or advertising spend may be separate from enrollment. Use sample campaigns for practice and check brand claims, permissions and accessibility before publishing work.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a small fictional campaign report with social engagement, website visits and a conversion measure. Explain a plausible connection, a limitation in attribution and a next question that the data cannot answer.
