Oaks Digital, a Cardiff-based digital marketing agency, has partnered with Seren Global Media for its latest Digital Academy webinar, designed specifically to address the unique challenges faced by marketers in the tourism and leisure sector.

Kicking off on Wednesday, March 26 – the free academy session will offer business owners and marketers the opportunity to upskill and stay up to date with the latest digital marketing, in an accessible and ‘jargon-free’ way.   

 An innovative start up agency –Oaks Digital was founded early last year, by Director Mark Oakman. After more than a decade in digital marketing, Mark witnessed countless businesses struggle with subpar digital products, poor customer service, and misleading sales tactics. Determined to change this, Mark founded Oaks Digital —a company built on transparency, fairness, and delivering digital solutions that truly serve clients. 

 The agency has thrived since its launch, working with many respected businesses on a local and national scale – such as Wildlife Trusts Wales, Shelter Cymru, World Accessible Holidays, and Westcoast Perimeter Security.

Seren Global Media, a PR and marketing agency based in Swansea, was founded in 2013. It is dedicated to producing high-quality content adaptable across multiple platforms in an ever-evolving media landscape. Since its launch, Seren Global Media has grown strength-to-strength, working alongside businesses with local and national prominence – such as Swansea Building Society and Child of Wales. 

 Mark Oakman, Director of Oaks Digital, said:  

“We are thrilled to be kicking off another instalment of our Digital Academy, after such a positive response from attendees as well as recently securing sponsorship from Wales’ leading broadband provider – Ogi Pro! 

“Collaborating with Seren Global Media on our next academy session allows us to bring a fresh approach and new ideas to digital marketing education. Together, we’re ensuring that businesses in the tourism and leisure sector have the tools they need to thrive in a landscape that is continuously evolving.” 

Wyn Jenkins, Managing Director of Seren Global Media, said:  

“We are delighted to be partnering with Oaks Digital on this exciting collaboration, which will allow us to expand our reach and introduce even more innovative strategies to the table, in a unique sector.  

“By combining our expertise, we will not only be educating businesses but also empowering them with the tools and insights to navigate the digital marketing space with confidence, building stronger, more meaningful connections with their audiences.”

Coronavirus: Charity Offers New Online Bereavement Training For Employers

The UK’s largest bereavement charity, Cruse Bereavement Care, has launched a new training webinar for employers to support employees through bereavement.

As the death toll from the coronavirus rises, it is vital that organisations are able to support their employees through bereavement. An awareness of the impact of bereavement and grief has never been more needed.

To support employers at this time, Cruse Bereavement Care have transformed their long-standing Loss and Bereavement workshop, into a new 2.5 hour webinar. The webinar will be tailored to the needs of each organisation, and will help attendees gain an understanding of grief and bereavement, become aware of the impact of loss, communicate with bereaved employees and develop an understanding of support organisations.

Cruse have seen a large increase in demand for its external training services since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, currently training over 2 and a half times as many companies as they normally would at this time. Many well known organisations such as Age UK (Westminster) and Mind (Mid and North Powys) have already benefitted from this invaluable training.

Andy Langford, Clinical Director at Cruse Bereavement Care, said:

“At the moment, tragically, it is more likely than ever that employees are going to be affected by bereavement. This can impact both their work and their relationship with colleagues. It has never been more important for employers to be able to support employees through bereavement.

“We are delighted that we are able to continue our hugely sought-after training, in the form of this new webinar, during what is a hugely difficult time for many companies.”

Feedback from companies who have already undertaken the training include:

“I really found the training useful especially in the current climate. It gave me an insight on what is available for anyone who has suffered a loss.” – Claire, Heathrow Rail

“Excellent training. Trainer was very clear, informative and engaging. Would recommend this to others.” – Lizzie, Mid and North Powys Mind
More information about the training can be found here.

Cruse Bereavement Care has been providing life-changing support to people across the UK for over 60 years. Our services are provided by our network of 5,000 trained volunteers up and down the UK. We are continuing to update our guidance to support bereaved people affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

Cruse is here to support anyone grieving at this time. Our new website resources are available: www.cruse.org.uk/coronavirus
