Overview

This course connects Claude Code with the everyday processes of Social Media. Participants work on realistic scenarios and leave with prompts, workflows and checklists they can use straight away.

Claude Code is not only for professional developers. Business users with no programming background can use it to analyse data, clean up Excel and CSV files, generate reports or build small internal tools, all in plain language. You describe what should happen, and Claude Code writes and runs the necessary scripts itself. This course variant shows you how to put these capabilities to work in your daily job without needing to understand code, and how to check the results reliably before anyone relies on them.

You will work through realistic office scenarios: merging exports from several systems, producing analyses with charts, generating documents and mail merges automatically, or turning repetitive file chores into a single command. Working safely is a central theme: which data may be processed, how you stay in control of approvals, and when to involve your IT department. The result is a set of useful helpers that take load off your team while remaining transparent and easy to hand over.

Social media teams work at the pace of the platforms: constantly changing formats, trends and algorithms, and a community that expects quick responses. Generative AI becomes a daily sparring partner. AI assistants build content calendars, draft posts, captions, hooks and short-form video scripts, adapt content for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube and suggest replies for community management. Automation gathers comments and mentions, summarises sentiment and creates reports. Image and video tools help with visuals and subtitles. The human touch remains decisive: authenticity, a feel for timing and crisis sensitivity cannot be automated. Used wisely, AI frees time for interaction, creative formats and a strategy based on real data rather than gut feeling.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Practical scenarios from your field

Content calendar

An AI assistant turns communication goals, topic clusters and seasonal moments into a content calendar with format ideas, platform allocation and posting frequency for the team to adjust and approve.

Platform-specific posts

One core message becomes several variants: an expert LinkedIn post, an Instagram caption with hashtags and a hook for short-form video, each in the appropriate tone.

Short-form video scripts

AI drafts scripts and storyboards for Reels, Shorts or TikToks with a strong opening, clear structure and call to action, and creates subtitles and descriptions.

Community management

Comments and direct messages are sorted by request and sentiment, reply suggestions prepared in the brand voice and critical posts highlighted for personal handling.

Social listening insights

Automations collect mentions and comments; AI summarises recurring topics, questions and sentiment trends and provides ideas for new content and product feedback.

Automated reporting

Metrics from platform exports are combined, top and bottom performing posts analysed and a monthly report with insights and recommendations drafted.

Possible hands-on projects

Post variation generator

A web app that takes a core message and generates platform-specific variants with character limits, hashtag suggestions and a preview.

Content calendar board

A simple kanban tool for topics, drafts, approvals and publication, filterable by platform and owner, with reminders for upcoming posts.

Reply snippet library

An internal tool with approved reply snippets for frequent community questions that uses AI to suggest and personalise the right snippet.

Prerequisites

No programming knowledge is needed; confident use of Excel, files and folders on your own computer is sufficient. You manage social media channels professionally and know the main platforms and their formats.

Technical requirements

Your own laptop with admin rights, Git, a Node.js runtime and an up-to-date editor; a Claude subscription or Anthropic API access is required for the exercises.

Data protection & compliance

Social media activity is subject to advertising disclosure and imprint rules, copyright and personality rights for images and music, and the EU AI Act's transparency duties for deepfakes and AI-generated content. Personal data from comments and messages must be processed in line with the GDPR.

Frequently asked questions

How is Claude Code different from traditional code completion?

Code completion suggests the next few lines, whereas Claude Code acts as an agent that handles whole tasks: it searches the repository, plans changes across several files, runs tests and commands, and corrects itself based on the results. You define the goal and review the outcome instead of steering every single line yourself.

Is Claude Code secure enough for enterprise use?

By default, Claude Code asks for approval before editing files or running commands. Permission rules, sandboxing, managed settings and hooks let you define precisely what the agent may do. During the course you learn to configure these mechanisms to match your security and data protection requirements and to assess risks such as prompt injection.

Does Claude Code work with my language and tech stack?

Yes. Claude Code is language-agnostic because it works with files, terminal commands and your existing build and test tooling. Whether you use Python, Java, TypeScript, Go, SAP-related code or infrastructure as code, what matters most is a well-written CLAUDE.md describing your commands and conventions. Each course variant adds the relevant domain focus.

Do AI-generated posts need to be labelled?

Under the EU AI Act, deepfakes in particular, as well as AI-generated text on matters of public interest that has not been editorially reviewed, must be disclosed. Platforms also have their own rules for labelling realistic synthetic content. In the course we draw up a clear labelling policy for your team.

Doesn't AI content feel generic?

It does when AI is used without context. With your own experiences, customer voices, data and a clearly defined brand voice as input, drafts become far more distinctive. AI provides structure and variants; you contribute the personal perspective and a feel for your community.

How much does “Claude Code for Social Media Teams” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 2 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
