"We were really impressed with our Keele Digital Advisor experience which accelerated the delivery of our Q3 marketing strategy. Our Digital Advisor generated a number of excellent articles that will be going live on the website over the next month."
"The programme is very worthwhile. Finding your way in the digital world can be daunting, even when you work in it. Having a fresh voice and perspective on issues is very beneficial to my business."
"The Digital Advisor project is a fantastic opportunity to work with talented people who are able to analyse and advise in an area where you need help and support. It was a pleasure working with Alicia and I am really impressed and very grateful for the analysis work, help and advice she has given me, something that, as a sole trader, I was struggling to find the time and resource to complete."
