OMM Show Schedule It may go something like this but we like random, so it could be the other way round... tune in on Wednesday at 7:30pm and sit back and enjoy the last in this current series of Online Marketing Magic. Thank you: • We will be talking to Mark about the global success of a local company SpinVox and how the technology is helping businesses of all shapes and sizes. • Shaf Rasul will be hitting our TV screens soon as a Dragon, ready to fry any weak contestant who thinks there is any chance of him releasing his hard earned cash without them having a solid grasp of business and a business plan to match. • Time to reflect on what we have been talking about over the 4 weeks and how folk can best get started with a bit of Online Marketing Magic of their own!!
