At our June training workshops in Dundee and Aberdeen we covered how to build and engage online audiences through content using our newsroom formula for a compelling content mix.
This is what attendees had to say about the sessions:
“We found the information helpful and adaptable to our business. Time, and pace was perfect. We look forward to future workshops.”
“I found the session hugely informative; it made me think about how our business structures content currently, and what could be done to improve client engagement.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and did indeed take away a few top tips. Thought the format and content went really well and great live examples and participation from the room to keep the conversation relevant and flowing.”
