Ciao beautiful people,
How was your month? Here Taya has taken ownership of our marketing and is using us as part of her Digital Marketing course in Dublin. She needed a brand to study and work with. She decided A4R would be great for her. She organised product videos for us in the past, she also worked on our current brand image and not to mention Don’t kill the Bugs video 😊 and more.
We have also had more interest from our student journalist members. Some of them want to carry on and write feature length articles. So, watch this space for more on this.
