I should be able to type this recommendation really quickly. After all, I say these words verbally almost every day and have done for years! As a marketing coach and business support adviser, I need to know about social media, and have a particular interest in how a business wishes to be perceived online as part of their full marketing strategy. Anything beyond that I refer to Amanda! We have the same ethos and she is the only person I know who knows the latest rumour/buzz/timewaster in social media, as it happens. She has her finger on the pulse constantly which means she is the ideal person to deliver Social Media Training. Hundreds of my clients and close contacts have appreciated Amanda’s broad knowledge and her charming training style, not to mention her quick (and dry!) sense of humour which makes people feel good about being sociable online. An absolute gem and a must if you’re looking for truly ‘social’ media training

I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda
