Change for Good Crash Course:
Social Marketing Fundamentals

Apply the fundamentals of marketing for behavior change to health and social issues.

If you work in the public or social sector, you are likely charged with the massive task of tackling complex problems with miniscule resources and a vague directive to make a difference. The social marketing process can focus and streamline your efforts, saving you time and money, by offering a systematic approach that incorporates insights from behavioral science and the business world.

The Change for Good Crash Course is a unique online training that gives you the knowledge and skills you need to design an effective social marketing strategy for your program. The web-based format allows you to progress at your own speed, quickly gaining an understanding of how social marketing works and taking the time you need to apply the lessons to your own issue.

Here are what some participants have said after taking the course:
