Our latest Retweet Competition closed on Monday April 18th – thanks to everyone who entered. The competition was kindly sponsored by MyTrainingManager- a fantastic organisation based here in the South East that provides a range of support services for businesses, including people management, development and training advice.
We had LOTS of entries – all of whom are now following MyTrainingManager on Twitter – so watch out for regular tweets from Jen Tarjanyi!
The competition prize was a free place on any of our courses up to 2 days in length, a selection which included our Management Training, Indesign Training andExcel Training courses (among many others!)
Stephen is a Brighton based web editor and designer, and has chosen to attend our Illustrator Training course on 28/29 July
He told us: “I was really surprised but excited to have won – I chose Adobe Illustrator as it’s something I always wanted to do but as the majority of my work is as a web editor/marketer it’s not something that I could readily justify budget for.”
The competition has really helped in raising awareness of the services that MyTrainingManager provides, and Stephen was impressed with the services they offer – he added:
“I think helping business in listening to and developing their most valuable asset (people) can only be a good thing. Often I think employees may have a mistrust of traditional HR which they may feel supports the company first. I also feel that employees may fear repercussions if they are too open. So I can really see the value of a specialised mediator that has the expertise to listen and help in finding the balance of interests.”

Email marketing can be quite simple, however, as with most things there’s actually more to it than meets the eye.
Great reasons to try email marketing are:
You will get to know more customers.
Communicate more with them.
Hold on to them.
Customer trust is something of great value in any business, and email marketing enables you to make sure your emails are relevant to what your customers need or want.
It’s really flexible – you can change emails or email details easily to promote different products, services, announcements etc.
Email Marketing is also very cost-effective compared to other types of marketing.
So what are you waiting for tell us why you need the Email Marketing course and if you win we’ll give you all the tools you need to get started. We are going to be running regular simple competitions for free training as well as launching our next photography competition very soon, so keep up to date by following us on twitter, liking us on facebook and signing up to our rss feed.
