Special shout outs
These award nominations are no small feat. There have been many action-packed days and nights (weeks and months!) working out exactly what learning experience will achieve the best outcomes for our students. We could not have won these awards without the support of two very special people:
First up is Neil Von Heupt, our amazing lead Senior Learning Designer who joined the Social Media College Dream Team in November 2019. Since joining, Neil has completely revamped our social media short courses giving them more structure, sequence, practical application and interactivity than ever before. Our students have never been happier, and from what we can see Neil is loving every part of the experience too. Neil truly loves education and building the pathway that supports students and enables them to make their dreams a reality.
Next up is Jonathon Tanner, our amazing CEO who leads our team seamlessly with his incredible energy and zest for life. Jon is truly inspired by our students and sees Social Media College as the perfect opportunity to make the world a better place by empowering our students to make their impact, using the power of social media. Jon is our lead facilitator for the Social Media Marketing Intensive, our double award-winning program, and I trust all of his students will agree that he is an amazing educator. Jon works closely with our students to ensure we can help them achieve all of their goals and more.
Of course, however, none of this would be possible without the support of our entire team. As the expression goes, “Teamwork makes the dream work” and that couldn’t be more true in our case. Our core team are all passionate about providing exceptional learning outcomes to our students. We are also fortunate enough to work with some of the world’s leading social media experts to provide the most cutting edge content at all times.
By ‘competing’ with others and sharing what we do, we keep the learning and development profession continually improving (as it should be!), and by doing this, we create better learning.
We would like to congratulate all of the organisations involved with the LearnX Live Awards 2020.
Once again, thank you to all, and if you would like to be a part of our growing family of social media marketing experts, then please contact our amazing team to learn more about our courses.
