"Getting to the bottom of what makes social media its own culture has been one of my greatest takeaways from the JNM curriculum at St. Joseph’s. Learning how audiences work is significant to how professional social media marketing campaigns work, and it’s definitely a lesson that has stuck with me throughout my time at St. Joseph's."
