A Wilmslow digital marketing expert has been shortlisted for a prestigious national industry award.
Dawn McGruer, founder of Water Lane-based Business Consort Digital and Social Media Academy, is in the running for Marketer of the Year at the Chartered Institute of Marketing Excellence Awards, which takes place on 12 April at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
Also shortlisted in the category – which recognises the impact an individual has on an organisation, their creativity and originality – are experts from organisations such as Thomson Reuters.
Dawn, who is also head trainer at Business Consort, said: “I’m extremely passionate about the world of digital and social media, and I’m committed to keeping up to date with new innovations, so to be the only North West-based business recognised by such a prestigious industry body as the CIM is fantastic.
“We offer courses accredited by both the CIM and the Digital Marketing Institute to more than 20,000 students across the globe, therefore it’s essential that my team and I have our fingers firmly on the pulse when it comes to emerging trends and changes in user behaviours.”
