Meta and CoobX Launch Growth Academy for Kazakhstan SMBs

Meta, together with CoobX and Almaty Hub, is launching the Small Business Growth Academy — a practical program for entrepreneurs, startups and SMBs in Kazakhstan. The first session on September 28 covers Meta advertising, Reels and Threads formats, affiliate ads, and AI and digital marketing tools. Participants will also review case studies from Kazakhstani and international companies.

Major platforms are increasingly teaching small and medium businesses to work systematically with digital channels and AI tools — a clear signal of where marketing competition is heading. Companies that adopt new ad formats and AI-driven promotion tools early tend to gain an edge in customer acquisition cost and campaign speed.

Check who on your team owns digital marketing and whether it's worth sending them to a program like this before the end of September. While the team levels up external marketing, internal processes deserve the same attention — in 1Cifer, every employee gets an agent that runs tasks and sends reminders on its own.
