Digital marketing event benefits North Devon companies

Accord hosted a digital marketing event in North Devon on Tuesday 10 November. Co-hosted with Google, it offered attendees the opportunity to meet with digital experts in search marketing, web design, performance analytics, email marketing and programmatic.

This was the first time that Google and Accord have worked together in North Devon and the response from local businesses was exceptional.

In the relaxed café surroundings, over 50 individuals from 27 companies seized the chance to ask key questions, discuss their ongoing digital challenges and share top tips. Inside Asia Tours, Petroc and Living Needs were all in attendance, along with many others from a wide range of sectors.

Accord’s digital marketing experts spoke one-to-one with attendees about their website performance, mobile, tracking and digital strategy. The event was also a unique opportunity to speak to representatives from Google about search marketing using Google’s products and partner websites.

Following the event, Accord West Director Simon Gear said, “Thirty South West businesses, eight Accord Digital Experts, two Google Product Specialists made for a busy and productive evening. Response post event has been fantastic; I am certain we will be doing this again.”

Feedback from attendees has been positive:

“A fantastic event hosted by Accord this evening at Tea on the Taw. A great social networking opportunity, the hosts were informative and gave an insight into a range of opportunities for us to explore at North Devon Theatres all with a relaxed atmosphere and surroundings. I made some great connections and a new friend! The Google talk was particularly beneficial to me and I’m excited to get the ball rolling with a potential funding application off the back of it. Oh and the cakes and quiches were an added touch, yummy!”
