facebook = enrolment success

We were delighted to see client, St Patrick's Technical College, in the Advertiser Education Now section yesterday. tatu assisted them with the creation of their facebook page during the original enrolment campaign and introduced them to Hughes PR to assist with a more sophisticated ongoing plan.
