This initiative is part of OMD’s strategy across the region
which is focused on moving the company from a reliance on purely ‘transactional
media’ to delivering ‘marketing performance’ for their clients.
The
programme titled “OMD Facebook Challenge” was a custom learning path within
Facebook Blueprint programme spread over 2 months, offering three
levels of product immersion (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced). The programme was
designed to further accelerate OMD’s delivery of innovative solutions via the
Facebook and Instagram platforms and drive further beta tests both locally and regionally.
