Create Ireland

More than 25 topics will be covered by the Create Programme between September 2009 and August 2010. The outline below is being developed specifically for small digital media companies that need to kick-start their business development asap. It also covers areas of growing importance - innovation, policy-making for the sector and SMEs, and R&D - in an economy that needs to be more competitive both nationally and internationally. The outline is also developed for a dynamic entrepreneurial sector that needs to get relevant support from semi-state agencies. New Create businesses to be promoted in the coming weeks will become more aware of the following topics: Business Planning - Sales Management - Branding & Marketing via Online Channels - Presentation Skills - Time & Project Management - Online Advertising/SEO - Social Media Platforms & Principles - Blogging - Starting-Up a Digital Media Company - Digital Media R&D - Proposal Management - Digital Media Stakeholders & Policies - Leadership & Partnership Management - IPR for Media - Digital Media Trends - Gaming - Programming & Database Environments - Mobile Media Content & Platforms - Design - Usability This training can only do so much for selected companies. They’ll need to be flexible in testing and proving their development over the next 12 months. Their partnership model will be important to build medium-term value beyond the downturn. It’ll be full on from our first session on September 8th.
