Come Boost Your Business With A Workshop By Emma Gribben
Emma Gribben who lives and breathes ‘digital’, studied BSc Hons in Communications, Advertising and Marketing and upon graduation completed the PgCert Digital Media Communications receiving a Pass with Distinction.
Emma’s passion for digital was ignited when she took up a role at Armagh-based Linwoods Healthfoods. Here Emma set up the digital marketing activities for the brand, including a new website which picked up the ‘Best Retail Website in Ireland 2013‘ at the prestigious Eircom Spiders Awards. As a result of the wonderful exposure of working on global digital campaigns, Emma sought out a new adventure in Dubai where she worked as a Digital Marketing Manager for the world’s largest free zone DMCC.
During her time in Dubai Emma realised her passion to start her own business and said: “In April 2015 I started Digital By Emma. With a personal approach to every project, I worked as a Digital Marketing Consultant, Trainer and Mentor with brands, agencies, start-ups and SME’s to boost their digital activities.
“I am a trainer with Google across three of their programmes; Google Digital Garage, Google Digital Academy and Squared Online. I often delivers digital marketing workshops throughout Europe and I’m passionate about educating businesses about the many ways digital marketing can help them reach new customers and generate sales.”
Emma added: “Digital marketing changes at the speed of light, with new developments announced daily so it is something that businesses have to continually invest in.
“There’s no doubt about it, when you implement a digital strategy you will see results for our business. The great thing about digital marketing is that you can see the impact it has straight away – you can tell if a campaign is working within a day of going live.”
