The New Media Mentors Digital Academy is a program designed to address the needs of organizations with varying budgets, experience and capacity. The Academy covers the most important aspects of successful digital campaigns, based on our experience in the field.
The program is based on the principle that using new media such as email, social media and social action technology effectively is key to an organization’s success both on and offline. New Media Mentors' “learning by doing” model insures the adoption of new knowledge and skills.
Most Digital Academy courses are comprised:
Three interactive group webinar workshops.
Three additional 1 on 1 one hour mentoring sessions.
Downloadable worksheets and templates.
