Good but the part of AB testing is really neither motivating nor exciting forn IMCA

Very Enjoyable

It's amazing! I think is one of my favorites in this whole specialization! the videos are super insightful !

All courses within the Social Media Marketing Specialization have been brilliant. Easy to follow, with step-by-step progression and if you're completely new to Social Media Marketing, you'll find the concepts are taught in a clear and concise way. I totally recommend it.
