This case study explores the impact of social media marketing on YSDI’s brand awareness and showcases the strategies, programs and challenges that define its growth potential. YSDI employs a multi-layered social media marketing approach in order to enhance their visibility and engagement in social media platforms. Programs such as the Virtual Internship where 10 teams perform specialized social media tasks which drives interaction and contributes significantly to the institute’s digital presence. Also their initiatives such as the Wonder woman project, Skill Boost Program, International Leadership Competition and Campus Associate Program create value for the diverse range of audiences which builds trust and fostering brand loyalty. The YSDI’s affiliate program further enhances their reach by balancing the word-of-mouth marketing, incentive community engagement and also driving traffic to the online platforms. Operating in a high-growth sector YSDI faces the dual challenge of navigating tough competition from established worldwide platforms all while simultaneously addressing their own resource limits.
