Having a strategic plan for digital media is essential in 2024

We will train you on how to create a proven strategic 12-month digital marketing plan so that you get to break free from the daily “what do I post” conundrum. It’s not just about Facebook either. After you fill out a questionnaire we’ll meet online (or in-person if you’re local), talk about your business and goals, then we’ll dig into the types of content that would attract and resonate with your ideal customers, including where and how often.

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.

In the middle of 2023 my Renovation business was struggling to get leads for work. It was at this point that Phillip Quay told me about the training that MediaPA can provide to help with marketing. Not only did MediaPA come up with an amazing training plan they also got me some government funding to pay for half of the cost. 
I was sceptical at first but now after all of the training Topline Carpenters is now booked out 6 months in advance with leads coming in almost daily. 
Amazing programme and would recommend it to anyone wanting to grow their business leads without wasting money on google ads! 

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