With our new radio adverts we are trying to make our marketing 'a conversation', and we are trying not to take ourselves too seriously.

In other words we want to skip the hard sell and to open a conversation with our customers and potential customers. Hopefully you will engage with us through new social media tools, the traditional telephone line and or a meeting with one of our team!

Oh! Our new website? Well you're almost in it!

SureSkills Digital Marketing Training

It’s that time of year again when the speculation starts about the release of the new iPhone, the next generation Apple Smartphone.

There is a lot of talk that Apple themselves have delayed announcing the release dates and it’s no wonder why! According to iSuppli’s 2011 Q1 Report, the smartphone giant has increased its shipments of iPhones (phones like iPhone 4) in the first quarter of 2011 by 15% defying the recent trend of a declining smart phone market. With increasing sales like this I wonder will there be even further delays on the release of the new Apple phone?

Here at SureSkills we run numerous different digital marketing classes including Mobile Marketing lectures. The mobile marketing training is just 1 of 12 classes as part of our 12 Week Part Time Online,Internet & Digital Marketing Programme that we run here from our Dublin HQ at 14 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2.

Our next Digital Marketing programme is running on the 25^th of May and there are still places available.

To Apply and for further information - Call Dan Goggin today on 01 2402237 or email Dan.Goggin@SureSkills.Com  and kick start your online business today.
