RE: UKNM: Re: Institute of Direct Marketing

[Ruth Stone]

Funny you should say that Mario as it is something the IDM recognises. The

course takes the established direct marketing discipline and adapts it for

online.  That said the course in question will also have a built in facility

for ongoing learning for precisely the reason you state - that e-marketing

is evolving continually.  The details are TS (Tops Secret not Top Shop) at

the moment but, educationally at least, they are pioneering.


Learning by doing is all well and good but pretty isolated.  By attending

and contributing to courses like ours we engender debate;

- between delegates

- about the case studies (all be they limited in number)

- to pick the best offline examples that could work at least as well online

with some adaption


as well as teaching a well-researched and highly relevant syllabus.  Failure

to deliver training in these areas will mean that when iTV does arrive,

along with VOD, there will be at least as much confusion as there is about

banner ads today.


I say speculate to formulate
