Thank you so much for such a thought-provoking course! I have been working in the communication sphere for six years, but I managed to find out some interesting details. I am pretty sure that the course is of great value not only for entrepreneurs but also for PR experts. It is worth highlighting that the course is well structured, and it helps to drill into all the information consistently and not to get confused.
