1. Overview

For those of you that are accessing this survey from an external source, here is a little background:

Over the course of the last few years of working with our clients, we have found that in general, marketing and/or communications professionals interact with a wide array of stakeholders (i.e. agencies, translators, consultants, etc...) on a weekly, if not daily basis.

Often times, what seems like basic knowledge to these stakeholders(i.e. file formats, resolutions, basic copy & paste HTML embedding, etc...) is poorly understood by marketers and communicators. As a result a great deal of back and forth time is wasted on emails and meetings that could have been avoided.

We are currently exploring opportunities to create high-level web design and graphic design courses specifically designed for strategic public sector and non-profit marketing and communications professionals that have received little training on the various technological tools and applications that could potentially make their day-to-day jobs much easier.

Your help in gauging the need for such a workshop would be much appreciated.
