Training

As an approved trainer with FAS and Enterprise Ireland, Marketing on Demand provides tailor-made training on a variety of marketing and communications related topics.

Training can take place one-to-one (in-company) or to small and large groups.

Marketing on Demand has successfully delivered training for several years for Enterprise Ireland, FAS, , Skillnet, and DIT amongst others.
We have designed and delivered training for pilot programmes, which were subsequently rolled out nationwide due to positive feedback from participants.

Our training is straight-talking, light on theory and involves the use of real-life case studies from our own experiences.

Consulting and Advice

Most people would not invest in ad hoc financial planning without a holistic view from an expert financial adviser. The same applies to planning marketing. Marketing activities should not be decided upon in an ad hoc or reactive fashion. They should be linked to business objectives, in terms of timing, budget and desired output.

We can help you get ‘the best bang for your buck’ by producing a workable, target-driven marketing plan linked to your business objectives. Alternately, you may appreciate getting an expert eye cast over your existing marketing plan.

“It was an excellent meeting and it keeps me on my toes”
Dan Gallagher, MD, EHA Software

Their genuine interest and understanding for our business, I believe, has been a crucial factor in our subsequent successes."

Marketing Communications

With extensive backgrounds in most forms of marketing communications, from television and radio through to direct mail and brochures, Marketing on Demand will give you honest advice on what form of marketing communications is the most relevant and most effective to reach your target market. We do not sell these services so you can rest assured that our advice is independent and only given with your business in mind.

We are happy to work with your existing agencies. Alternately, over the years, we have identified agencies (design, online, print) who, time after time, produce excellent work at value for money. We only work with other suppliers whose standards, prices, and customer commitment reflect our own.

Examples of our work range from a monthly staff newsletter for an organisation with 1000 + employees through to full colour magazines and annual reports with print runs of 25,000.

We can write copy, liaise with design, print, fulfilment and post agencies, keep budget control and keep the project on time.
