The eCommerce.org.nz website is operated by Netmarketing Courses.
We Train Kiwi Organisations
We specialise in online training – we don’t offer digital marketing ourselves because we believe our time and expertise is better directed to training those who do.
Background
Netmarketing Courses is based in Auckland, New Zealand. Thanks to the joys of doing business online, we provide our courses to students across New Zealand and increasingly around the world (we’ve had participants from Switzerland, France, the British Isles, the US and of course Australia). We’ve had more than 2500 take our courses since we began offering the courses in early 2010.
The courses are written by the principal of Netmarketing Courses, Michael Carney.
Michael is a highly experienced marketer with an insatiable passion for whatever’s new, different, exciting or interesting in the world of communications (and especially in the digital space). Michael has been in the marketing game since 1971, online since 1987 — and can be variously described as a digital marketing trainer, adman, media director, strategist, researcher, copywriter, consultant, playwright and dad.
He is probably best known for his many years as Media Director of a number of leading NZ advertising agencies, including MDA Mackay King (now Saatchi & Saatchi) and HKM Rialto (since merged with Colenso BBDO). More recently he worked in strategic roles with MediaCom New Zealand and Grey Worldwide and was Strategic Planning Director for the Media Counsel before setting up Netmarketing Courses.
Michael is also the author of “Trade Me Success Secrets: How To Buy and Sell Effectively on NZ’s Favourite Auction Site”, now in its second edition; and is currently working on a new book, “How To Use Facebook For Business”, due out in August this year.
Michael was chairman of the NZ Marketing Association’s Network of Digital Marketers from 2009 until March 2013. He is also a professionally-accredited Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketers (UK).
Find Us On Facebook
Although we do of course operate a number of Facebook pages we don’t use them as a primary marketing tool, given that our target is businesses who aren’t operating effectively in social media (79% of NZ businesses fall into that category, according to the MYOB Business Monitor for November 2012).
Nevertheless, you’ll find us on Facebook at:
And various other pages that we use for training purposes.
