“Today’s search academy was fabulous. It motivated me to change my company’s strategy. In particular the areas of customer lifetime value, customer journey modelling, landing page improvements and setting control / exposed groups for testing were most useful. I will progress all three. I also really liked the relevancy of the case studies.”

“As a search marketer, I’d recommend this Digital Training Academy. The most useful topics for me were writing copy for search engine ads, rethinking how I segment my market, getting the bidding right. Yes, it’s motivated me to change my firm’s strategy.”

"Really positive. People are definitely engaged now."

"Just wanted to thank you for an excellent keynote presentation at the T-F-M show. Lots of great information and plenty to think about!"

"Just wanted to say I thought your keynote presentation was excellent - it's given me and probably everyone else there lots to think about for the near and long term future of the business we work in-very thought provoking"

"A thought-provoking and inspiring presentation! Thanks"

"Thank you for the great presentation, learn a lot and already applied few tips."

Web 2.0 - how can marketers harness this?

"A massive thanks for a great contribution to our workshop – as you saw in the eyes of the participants in the workshops you ran at the annual medical marketing conference, they are looking to be guided and I think that you and the team gave a great example/study into what can be done if you take its potential seriously."

We never thought to publish the feedback results of our Academies before, but when one of the magazine groups we ran public training with said it was the best they’d ever seen (they have run a very large number of these for years), we thought this might be interesting. These are the collated responses for this month’s social media academy for 40 people and are typical of feedback on our public training programmes:

Overall agreement that the training was ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ 100%
Overall agreement that the tutor was ‘good’ 15% or ‘excellent’ 85%

''I really liked going through a blank marketing plan as it made me really sit back and think what the realistic possibilities and opportunities were for my company.''

''The best bits? Both guest speakers were great and it was good to get an idea of how it works partically, rather than just the theory.''

''The best parts? The exercise on formulating a plan/marketing elements for generating a blog, using constant hints and tips at every stage - it wasn't a bleak, 'left-on-your-own' or -work with a partner process, which can really put people off trying, everyone was individually thinking through their own plans and ideas, encouraged by the rest of the class/tutors.''

''I thought the tutor was fantastic, guides us through the material very well indeed.''

''Opened up the world to me and started me thinking. I've got lots to find out and work on.''

''Most enjoy? The whole thing really - made me very determined to set up a blog for the business which I think is the vital message that came across''

''I found it immensely helpful that we were working trough a plan on blogging and how to utilise it most within our general marketing plan''

“I’ve been a digital publisher for many years, but the Digital Publishing Strategy Academy you ran for our senior management two years ago has transformed this magazine group. Congrats.”
