How will the programme help my business?
Here is what some of the past participants have said about their experience of the programme:
‘I thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills and gained more confidence using Social Media platforms to promote my business. Chris was a fantastic leader and I felt really motivated at the end of each session… I’ve had a fabulous response to my ‘stories’ and ‘work in progress’ posts on Instagram and Facebook and my audience is continuing to grow.’ Lisa Le Brocq, Owner, Lisa Le Brocq Jewellery Design
‘I really enjoyed the course provided by Chris Morris and Jersey Business. It is so relevant for today’s businesses to avoid becoming entropic, to compete and find new markets. It can also save me money as I use my marketing budget much more wisely, understanding how Facebook responds with advertisers for example.’ Ginny Moss, Owner IDology
‘I thoroughly enjoyed the course and feel I’ve come away with valuable knowledge I would find difficult to research on my own. The instructor had a clear lesson plan and executed it concisely. A great course that I highly recommend.’ Glen Perotte, Owner Glen Perotte Photographer
‘The course was really useful for a more junior memeber of my team to develop and grow their skills. We worked together to use the projects as an opportunity to content plan for the business and put the things we were learning into context for our own roles. From my perspective it was good to get a refresh on the latest trends and best practices.’ Sarah Sacriste, Head of Marketing, Voisins Department Store
