“I was a little unsure at first about this type of workshop as normally I find it hard to follow all the 'tech' words, code and computer/web lingo, but after this day with Rob, all this changed. Rob has a great knack for making the difficult sound easy and an enthusiasm to boot. I left the workshop feeling like I had a real grasp on eMarketing, SEO, Pay Per Click and much more. There was a real mix of knowledge between the group, so the relaxed conversation style workshop worked perfectly. Definitely worth every penny, thank you Rob.” – Marketing Manager, Draycott Hotel
