Community building is a fast-growing but still relatively new practice in the business world. For community professionals, it's not uncommon to feel a bit lost.
Your day-to-day work can feel reactive. You may have the go-ahead to build a brand community or the idea that it would benefit your organization, but you’re not sure exactly how to get started. As you start planning, you’re often working with with limited information and no big picture.
If this is you, you may be saying to yourself:
Does any of that feel familiar?
If this is you, it’s not your fault you're feeling lost, and you’re not alone. Most community professionals struggle with the same challenges today. We've been there too.
The good news is that we can answer all these questions (and more) together over just six weeks of foundational work.

This course is ideal for community professionals looking to level up their career and anyone who is feeling stuck in their community strategy.

What makes the course so valuable? We offer frameworks and models for everything that you do in your community work with loads of examples of how other businesses are successfully building communities. While you might already "get" community management, this course will give you the tools you need to translate that knowledge into an organized framework that will cement your success.
"This course made it possible for our team to establish a vision for our community... It took us beyond the content we needed; it took us deeper than choosing a platform. The CMX course essentially showed us that community was our product, and it gave us the vocabulary to develop a flexible and sustainable strategy."
- Melissa Emler, Community Strategist, Change School

The Commitment
Failed community strategies cost companies hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in wasted time and resources. This course is only $1499 and will set you and your team up for long-term success.
This class isn't easy work. It won't be a breeze. If you’re not serious about advancing your career in community and doing better work in your role, this course isn’t for you. There will be expectations that you'll complete your work in order to get credit for the course, and you won't receive a completion certificate unless you complete all the work.
If you’re ready to dedicate yourself to learning a proven model for community and executing on what you learn, this course will lead you down that path.
Made for Individuals, But We Build for Teams
Each training seat is for just one special community builder. If you would like to train your entire team or your executives, please reach out to David directly at david@cmxhub.com for our team pricing options, which will enable your entire team to receive completion certificates and, if needed, enable us to create custom content for you.
