What people are saying about our training and workshops

After attending the TLD Social Media Seminar I have a much, much clearer idea of the strategy to use for my business when it comes to incorporating social media into my P.R campaign.The venue is fantastic and makes for a very “comfortable” environment to learn. Keren's moral view is also refreshing when it comes to social media for business and shows you don’t need to bombard people with information they don’t necessarily want or need to create a fantastic network.  - Adam Cox Corrective Exercise Specialist

I recently attended a workshop organised and given by Keren of Top Left Design on Social Media for Business. Keren's knowledge in this field is exemplary and she was able to deliver this in a clear, concise and easily understandable manner. I have already began to put knowledge acquired at the workshop to use and they have already started showing results. - Yemi Osunkoya, bespoke wedding dress designer

As a writer, I was looking for ideas on how to make better use of blogging for my business. The Top Left Design seminar was excellent. Keren is a charming host and a fluent and accomplished presenter with a relaxed style all of her own. She explained the 'who' and 'why' as well as the 'how' of blogging and I especially liked how she encouraged participation without interrupting the flow of information. We all had an interesting and enjoyable time - even the food was well thought out. Highly recommended.
- Brendan Staunton, Copywriter

It's been absolutely fantastic. I think there's been lots of ideas that we can take away and put in to practice almost straight away just by tailoring a few things that we're already doing. The girls have given us some really great ideas and some excellent cupcakes! - Lou Cook, BRAL Limited

I’ve really enjoyed today's workshop. It’s been extremely informative and very practical with a lot of helpful tips and advice on how to maximise social media. I found it extremely useful indeed.

I have to confess to having been a bit of a sceptic where some of the social media outlets were concerned but I’ve been convinced on a number of them. Excellent. - Jack Spiegler, Davenport Lyons

It's been fantastic. I've learned lots about LinkedIn. I always thought I was understanding it but actually there's a whole lot more. - Andrew Ewbank, Head of Marketing, Hodge Jones & Allen

Alicia provided me with some bespoke training in blogging and web updating. The session was well planned and covered all the issues that I needed help with. I found Alicia to be professional, well organised and friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who needs some training in social media - thanks Alicia for all your help - really useful! - Rosalind Astaire, Weight Management Coach

Alicia's input has been very effective in getting me set up with Linkedin. Her support has been pitched at just the right level and has been really well focused to my particular areas of work and specialisms. Thanks Alicia, really appreciated. - Sue Benson, Educational Consultant

Keren delivered her presentation to a mixed audience, ranging from technophobes to web designers; it is my opinion that she held all present equally enthralled by the clear and informative content of her talk and by her honest approach to sharing her companies guidelines to impactful web sites. If you have the opportunity to attend one of her seminars. Grab the chance, you will not be disappointed! - Mark Keatley-Palmer

Great presentation! Very informative, useful and understandable. I took a lot of notes! I am very impressed with all your work and the numerous websites which you showed.

I trust you. I think everyone else in the room feels the same way now too. You converted the audience into raving fans.  - Very Happy Phil

How refreshing it was to attend a seminar with a potentially technical and complex subject matter, and to be presented with a straightforward user friendly approach which even the worst technophobe could have understood. Highly informative and effortlessly delivered. - Thomas Gilder
