The coaching was incredibly useful at helping us to identify key areas of improvement within the business that we had not considered before.

That was...

I attended a Social Media workshop presented by Neil and Media Modo. He very quickly understood the stage we were at and was able to adapt his advice to make it relevant to our needs. Came away much more knowledgeable and empowered. Thank you. Yamini Clarke, NW entrepreneur
Dawn MacDonald
We felt inspired and empowered by Neil's straightforward, no nonsense approach to marketing and all his useful advice, from someone who's been there done that. We are already referring back to his workshop with a quick 'remember what Neil said' so it has definitely sunk in too! Dawn MacDonald, startup entrepreneur
