The Stukent Social Media Marketing Simternship
Turnkey materials to increase student engagement and employability
Give your students experience managing real-world social media campaigns with a Simternship®! The Stukent Social Media Simternship asks your students to assume the role of social media specialist for a simulated e-commerce company. Over the course of 12 rounds, your students will run paid ad campaigns, perform demographic targeting, test social media content, analyze performance metrics, and more. Pair the simulation with the “Essentials of Social Media Marketing” courseware for a complete, career-ready learning experience.
Build students’ skills with a Simternship
Each round simulates real-world social media scenarios, helping your students develop the skills they need to excel in their future careers.
As a professor, finding a resource that connects working-world experience with the classroom is so valuable. And that's exactly what Stukent's Social Media Marketing Simternship is doing in my BUS-362 class at Meredith College.
