The content is great, it's old no update and no course resource

Bien explicado, pero todo fue muy de sentido común, es útil solo para personas que realmente no tienen ningún tipo de conocimiento previo ni conocimiento en redes sociales.

The course covered a lot of fundamental information about branding in the gaming industry. However, I do wish that it was a little bit more hands on. I feel that some of the websites that were discussed could have been linked in a resources tab and that there were more demonstrations on how to navigate said websites. Appreciated the entry-level information, but I do wish it had gone a little bit more in depth and been more engaging.
