Ashley was an absolutely amazing leader for our team! She inspired our team to do better and value each other more than ever before, and her understanding of digital channels helped make the most of everyone's talents. The processes she put in place fostered more collaboration in the team, which was particularly crucial in a working from home environment.

Ashley Grey is an expert in the various platforms of Social Media. It was amazing how she was able to easily teach us, with such easy to understand methods in all of the various platforms of Social Media. She was very thorough and comprehensive. She is patient, kind and respectful . Although she was very serious about teaching us everything she possibly could, she was always upbeat and made the learning fun.. She also made sure she was approachable for any out of class questions and still makes herself available for any queries to past pupils.I gained the complete knowledge for the implementation of Social Media in business from The European Institute of Communications along with an imaginative and creative style of management . She is a priceless member of staff. This Institute has constantly some of the best graduates in the country so I could not have picked any where better in my search to obtain such brilliant and scholarly teachers. Thank you Ashley
