The 7th of May was a trully special day when we celebrated the successes of the students undertaking the unit that I teach and lead at Bournemouth University as well as share our knowledge and experience with students and small and medium businesses in and around Bournemouth. The half day event featured presentations from students who successfully completed the Digital Communication Strategies Unit assessesed by industry representatives from LV, RNLI and Adido, presentations from Matt Desmier and Dr Dan Jackson and informal talks with SMEs in and around Bournemouth about their digital projects, challeneges and experiences.
The feedback from the judges and participating SMEs has been overwhelmingly positive and I am really proud to see our students work being appreciated. Hearing the judges stress how “strategic” and well measured the three projects showcased were was a strong support that our teaching approach both meets industry needs and responds to current professional trends. I am so thankful to my colleagues, Juliette Hecquet and Anna Feigenbaum, with whom I teach the unit for their input and support as well as to all my colleagues at BU, especially to Ian Jones, Liam Toms and Dan Jackson for helping me to organize the event.
A quick summary of what happened on the day is here:
