Marketing courses to help firms avoid 'stagnating '

Businesses that cease marketing because of the recession will run the very real risk of stagnating or even regressing.

That 's according to Solihull-based agency Astute Media, who are running a special offer on their online social media training courses in January.

The two courses - both priced at £125 plus VAT - are:

• Creating Visual Content Effortlessly (24 January, 9.30am to 1pm)
• Content Marketing Training (25 January, 2pm to 5.30pm)

For every course booked and paid for, Astute Media will donate £25 worth of food to a local foodbank.

Each half day course has a maximum of six delegates and is described as “a truly immersive learning experience ”.

Jeremy Bailey (pictured), managing director at Astute Media, said: “Whilst we are not saying as an agency, you should be increasing your marketing spend, we are saying consider very carefully where you are spending your budget, measure the results, remembering social media and Google must become your new best friends!

“Not every business wants to, or has the budget to engage with an agency, for those that do not, then please take advantage of one or both of these courses.

“These courses are also suitable for those businesses who have their own social media resource, but want to ensure that they enter the New Year fully up to date with all that is happening on social media.

“For any businesses that want to talk through any marketing strategy or activity they are thinking of implementing, then we are available to talk these through with you even if it does not result in us working together. ”
