DigitalGroundUp Inc., an interactive technology platform that teaches digital marketing through experiential online courses, announced its collaboration with Facebook Inc. today. In collaboration with Facebook’s Global Vertical Strategy Team, DigitalGroundUp has created a series of courses to educate small to medium-sized companies in the financial services industry.
The collaboration was announced today at the Marketing Association of Credit Union (MAC) Annual Conference, and is the first of its kind. DigitalGroundUp will be the provider of courses for small businesses in the financial services industry that want or need training on Facebook. DigitalGroundUp has tailored its proprietary courses to specifically address the social media and paid advertising challenges within the highly regulated financial services industry. The courses are designed to provide an increased level of support and training to small and medium-sized companies in this industry.
“Small businesses in financial services need an online presence, and I’m thrilled DigitalGroundUp can provide courses to help SMBs conquer Facebook fan pages, advertising, and more,” said Reva Minkoff, Founder and President of DigitalGroundUp. “Our collaboration with Facebook will provide education and support for financial services to comply with regulations and grow their social following.”
At launch, DigitalGroundUp and Facebook will provide online courses on topics such as cost-per-click bidding, A/B testing, regulations for advertising financial services, driving mobile adoption through Facebook for financial services companies, ad targeting, and more. Additional courses will be added on a regular basis, and DigitalGroundUp will continue to work with Facebook to update its content to stay up-to-date with all new releases and announcements.
As part of the ongoing collaboration with Facebook, DigitalGroundUp users can ask questions from DigitalGroundUp and the Facebook support team as necessary. The collaboration ensures the financial services business leaders will receive answers to industry-specific questions, providing a new level of specificity and access.
“At Facebook, we strive to deliver exceptional resources and customer service for businesses of all sizes,” said Neil Hiltz, Head of Global Financial Services Strategy for Facebook. “Through our collaboration with DigitalGroundUp, we can help financial service SMBs achieve success on Facebook.”
DigitalGroundUp’s educational resources for financial service companies are available for a $99/month, and is currently offering a free 30-day trial, no strings attached.
