On Monday 28 June I’m running a workshop with the IoD for people who manage marketing teams but don’t have a marketing background. I’ll be sharing 4 questions you should ask your marketing team (and 2 you definitely shouldn’t) during a 45 minute session and taking questions at the end.

It’s free to attend and open to everyone, not just IoD members.

If you’re interested in investing in your own marketing education, I’ve also launched a Digital Marketing Strategy course with the university of Vaasa in Finland. It’s taught entirely online and in English, so you can learn at your own pace.

By following the course you’ll build a marketing strategy for your organisation and be ready to implement it once you’ve finished.

It’s academically developed, but intensely practical and shares a method I’ve used with over 100 clients in various sectors.
