Our users

Overview

Users of E-consultancy are people who are passionate about online marketing and e-commerce and how digital channels can be used to create business value. They are largely in a management role so although they may have specialist areas of expertise or interest they must get to grips with a wide range of e-business issues and ensure the digital channels integrate with the rest of the business and marketing activities.

What E-consultancy users most appreciate and value is peer advice and sharing practical, actionable and insightful information and experience. E-consultancy is quite deliberately a niche proposition which aims to provide high value information and advice to high value e-business managers.

We have conducted feedback sessions with groups of our users and they confirm that they use E-consultancy when they need a quick answer to a problem they face - either in the form of information or advice. E-consultancy is used as a business tool, there when users need it. Almost all site activity occurs during office hours.
