Hey y’all! Hope all is well. 

I am new to the Academy classes and was wondering which one(s) have been best for you/your organization? Which would you recommend for someone new to Meltwater and wanting to learn more!

    I think it really depends on what services you currently utilize/have access to in Meltwater and what your organization’s priorities are! For me, we mainly use Meltwater for media monitoring. So the Academy courses that pertain to the Meltwater media monitoring tools have been helpful so far in teaching me things that maybe I learned years ago but I’ve forgotten since we don’t use that aspect often/if at all and also some newer tips and tricks that I didn’t know about! I also like that there are courses that aren’t geared toward a specific Meltwater platform and are about marketing/communications in general! I’m always wanting to learn new things!

    100% agree it depends. I personally find the Explore and Media Monitoring courses very helpful. :)

    Although I don’t use every single aspect of every single aspect of Meltwater, I’ve found that taking mCourses that aren’t necessarily in my direct lane, are extremely helpful to have a better cohesive understanding what options there are, and if/how I COULD use other aspects of Meltwater to help our team day to day.

    @Maria Dehne I feel the same way! I’ve sent my team members so many messages the past few weeks with ideas for how we could improve our strategy with other Meltwater tools 😆

    I share the same feeling. Even though we aren't Klear clients, I've been exploring the possibilities and learning more about the Influencer Marketing possibilities. The platform is pretty awesome, btw!

    100% agree here, I started with those courses and then as I a became interested in other products, began exploring those courses to see if they would fit with my company goals (also my self development goals).

    @kelly.bebenek this was actually how I mapped out the courses I took for the contest. So it’s very helpful.

    I agree with you @Maria Dehne  as well. I’ve taken several courses outside of my lane and it gave me a better understanding of how to work with the different teams that perform those functions.
