If you want to know more about the benefits of PR and marketing activity, Aro’s workshop is essential. It was full of interesting, interactive content, definitely not death by PowerPoint! Before Aro’s workshop I knew very little about what marketing and PR offered in terms of measurable business benefits, but now I feel a lot more confident and informed. I particularly appreciated the time given for questions and the Aro team sharing their own experiences.
