Testimonials

“Rich Graphics’ social media training helped me to better understand what a powerful role social media could play for my company. His live, hands-on approach made it simple for me and my colleagues to master our use of social media efficiently and effectively. Richard was engaging and approachable – ready to help or answer any questions we had while he actually walked us through setting up many valuable social media tools and features. We left the training session ready to apply these new skills and knowledge – and felt confident of both their function and our abilities.”

- Laura Oakley, Executive Meeting & Conference Service Manager, Atlantica Hotel

“Building a strategic plan to launch our social media presence took on a greater meaning after attending the Hands-On Live Social Media Training in April 2010. Richard Black & Kathy Colaiacovo led us through a high-level course in the benefits of using a business page on Facebook and the use of Twitter. Their broad knowledge of businesses, branding and marketing were wonderful and enabled them to answer (and interpret) questions without hesitation! I appreciated being able to discuss some unique business requirements with someone face-to-face who was well-versed in social media – and continue to use the information for our business plan. I would recommend this as a professional training course to anyone about to embark into the wild world that is online marketing.”
