Testimonials
 Digital Marketing Level 2: Anwar's Story
Anwar runs Anwar Suliman Photography Services. He completed Digital Marketing Level 2 through the Advancing Digital programme in February 2023. The three-day course was taught by Momentum in Shalesmoor, Sheffield.
“I’m Anwar Suliman. I’m a photographer specialising in events and studio photography. I heard about the course through Business Sheffield who signposted me to Advancing Digital.
“It appealed to me because I knew how to do traditional marketing, but digital marketing was a bit new and scary.
“The tutor, Max was really good and explained everything well. It was a mixed-age group of people in the class, who could interact with each other and learn together.
“The course taught me all the different processes, all the way through, and how to utilize all the apps and tools in the marketing process.
“I think the course will help me progress my career further. Once I’ve learnt a bit more about social media, I’ll put it all together to make a comprehensive marketing strategy.
“I’d definitely recommend it to other small business owners, because I think it will really help them get on and promote themselves better.”
