The project researched and created business culture and social media guides with the use of text, audio, animation and video.

What they said..

Dr. Aleksej Heinze from Salford Business School led the project and said, “A primary aim of the project was to disseminate these guides as far and wide as possible using a cost effective and sustainable approach. We put into practise the techniques that we teach, working with industry and the results exceeded all of our expectations.”

Alex Fenton of EDinteractive and Salford Business School was the lead technical developer on the project and said: “As course leader for our Search and Social Media Marketing CPD short course, it is vital that we can practice what we preach. We launched the site just a few short months ago and using organic, sustainable search optimisation and content marketing techniques, the materialsare being used by over 1500 visitors per day and it is growing steadily. Our partners and collaborators have worked really hard on a budget and achieved incredible results. We have to extend our thanks to everyone involved and the excellent judging panel for recognising our project.”
