Hi Neighbour,

Here we go again. Hope you are looking after those in your bubble and keeping safe.

If you need a bit of distraction from the confines of lockdown, this could be the perfect time to keep learning through what can be pretty tough times.

Right now many will be tuning in online, so why not brush up on skills to learn how to make an impact with your business digitally.

First impressions count. In fact, they say you only have 3 seconds to make a good one. So, slick images are crucial.

Flipping the perfect patty is quite a skill, so too is producing snappy images - local business Burger Burger can do both with ease. They’ve done away with traditional advertising and instead engaged its customers with vibrant and interactive content.

Watch their story here to find out how they get more digital bang for their marketing buck.

Then get started yourself and join us at Digital Boost to get going with our free videos and resources!
