Facebook, DigitalGroundUp Team Up On Interactive Courses For Financial-Services SMBs

Facebook continues to take steps to aid small and midsized businesses with advertising and marketing via the social network, but companies in the financial-services sector face unique challenges due to their heavily regulated industry. With this in mind, Facebook announced Thursday that it is teaming up with DigitalGroundUp -- which describes itself as an interactive technology platform that teaches digital marketing via experiential online courses -- to develop a series of courses to help those companies take full advantage of Facebook’s resources, while remaining fully compliant.

DigitalGroundUp said the initiative will launch with courses on topics including cost-per-click bidding, A/B testing, regulations for advertising financial services, how companies in that sector can drive mobile adoption via Facebook, and ad targeting, with more subjects to be added on a regular basis.
