Phillip from Business Direct was instrumental in helping my new business develop a plan for digital marketing through specialized digital marketing training. I had regular meetings both online and in person where I was taught how to set up social media platforms to be used for advertising, content creation for my social media sites, email marketing, SEO & writing blogs and articles related to my business, which I could then publish on my social media pages. I started out with very limited knowledge in these areas but at the end of the training programme felt confident to create, market and publish on my social media pages. I was invited to networking events where I met business owners from a vast variety of businesses and shared knowledge and contacts. From this I was able to help promote my business to other successful business owners and learn key points from business owners about digital marketing. As a new business I could not afford to pay a marketing agency to promote and advertise my new business so was stuck with needing to advertise but not being able to afford to advertise, until I was informed of this offer, and I am so pleased I took it up. Having the MPI fund 50% of my training expenses meant as a new business I could afford to do the training which in turn helped promote my business. This was easy to apply for and access. I highly recommend applying for the Regional Business Partner Network and using Business Direct who are a registered service provider to deliver this service.

The meetings were informative and relative to what I needed for my small business. 10/10

Media PA has really helped give me direction in this vast digital landscape. I feel more prepared than ever now that I have a solid plan in hand.

Welcoming and knowledgeable, quickly answered questions for me.

They came up with some fresh ideas to improve my business, they took a different approach to most. Some lightbulb moments.
