What first drew you to the web industry?

I've worked in the public relations and event management business in Ireland for the past 25 years. I set up my own company, The Special Event Company, ten years ago offering a bespoke event management service to corporate, private and non-profit sectors. I wanted to update my skills and broaden my knowledge of how digital marketing complements other traditional marketing communications.

What was the main benefit of the course on your career?

I completed the Post Graduate Diploma with the Digital Marketing Institute last year. This course far exceeded my expectations. It was a really comprehensive and so well worth doing. The lecturers were excellent, all specialists in their field, i.e SEO, email marketing, social media, web analytical, Google Adwords etc.

Since completing the post Grad course, I now have much more confidence in developing social media and on line presence for events for my clients in the non profit sector. I have better knowledge of the digital landscape and the latest tools and techniques. I intend to do a further on line course with the Digital Marketing Institute in strategy and Planning next year.

Would you recommend the course?

I highly recommend the Digital Marketing Institute's Postgraduate Diploma course. Take your understanding of digital marketing to the next level and do the Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Marketing course. You'll be glad you did.
