Had such a brilliant course at the IDM, learnt so much just in one day that I've been able to put into practice back at my workplace. Would highly recommend attending the blogs and social media writing course if you need some guidance or just some new content ideas!

This course provided a fascinating, practical and relevant guide to building effective copy. It was informed by performance data, which helped me to see the real-life importance of strong copy. I'll be using these skills frequently in my job!
