In the final term you run social channels for a real brand alongside the studio's own growth team.

Who this course is for
- You're already the person friends ask to "do their Instagram", and you'd like to be paid for it.
- You want a job in a year, in Haldwani or remotely, without a degree deciding it.
- You run a small business — a café, a homestay, a boutique — or your family does, and nobody's doing its social media properly.
- You're a parent: every business in Haldwani with a signboard now needs someone doing this. It is the most locally employable track at the academy.
This is not a course in becoming an influencer. It's the job of growing other people's channels.
What you'll learn
- 01Platform Playbooks — Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and beyond: how each feed ranks, rewards and punishes.
- 02Content Strategy — pillars, calendars, hooks and formats: a system for showing up daily without burning out.
- 03Short-form Video — Reels and Shorts from idea to post: scripting, shooting, cutting and captioning at speed.
- 04Community & Brand Voice — comments, collabs and consistency: turning an audience into a community that returns.
- 05Analytics & Iteration — reach, retention and conversion metrics, and the weekly loop of reading them and adjusting.
- 06Live Brief Term — run social channels for a real brand alongside the studio's own growth team.
How the year runs
Months 1–3 — Foundations. How feeds work, from the inside. You post daily on a practice account from week one and learn to read your own analytics before you're allowed to advise anyone else.
Months 4–9 — Specialisation. Strategy, short-form video, community, analytics — each applied weekly to real accounts, including the studio's own. You shoot, cut and caption Reels at production speed, and you present numbers every Monday.
Months 10–12 — Live Brief Term. A real brand's channels, with the studio's growth team reviewing your calendar and your results. The case study you leave with has a client's name on it.
Mentors who ship
Mentors run the studio's own social channels and its clients'; the examples in class are last week's posts.
Careers after the course
