Frequently Asked Questions About Our Sessions

Why should I pay to tell you about our business? Can’t I just come and meet you for free?

We are more than happy to speak to you for 15-20 minutes about your business/project/requirements which you can book here. If you need more time with us than that, we deem this a consult and do charge for this service. We are professional consultants & trainers who have invested heavily into learning all we know so we can impart knowledge with you. We are offering an extremely valuable service that can seriously improve your business (you wouldn’t expect a free consult with your accountant or lawyer now would you?)

How do I book one of these sessions and when will the session be?

Simply enquire with us stating which of the above packages you are most interested in. We’ll raise you a quote to accept and thereafter an invoice along with some times the most relevant trainer consultant is available. Our availability is subject to your locations + agenda you wish to focus on + timing. At times our consultants and trainers are in high demand and sessions may be booked 2-4 weeks ahead of time. At other times, we may have someone available to meet with you within the week. We will always do our best to accommodate your timeframes where possible.

What are your COVID safety procedures?

Featured Case Studies

Below are a few case studies to give you an idea of the variety of businesses and industries we have worked with, and our ability to customise training solutions to each client, based on their unique requirements.

Facebook Community Boost Program as part of Queensland Small Business Week

Facebook Community Boost Program

Having completed the Facebook Community Trainers program and being selected as one of eight official trainers for Facebook in Australia & New Zealand, Yvette pitched to Facebook Australia the opportunity to participate in Queensland Small Business Week. The Facebook Community Boost program aims to provide local businesses with the most up-to-date tools, insights, and best practices for achieving success on Facebook and Instagram and give participants the ability to learn directly from Facebook’s very own Community Trainers and walk away with the resources you need to grow your business. The Training Collective were contracted by Facebook Australia to deliver x5 half day workshops in regional towns in Queensland – Gladstone, Bundaberg, Cairns, Townsville and Toowoomba. Sessions were offered free to attend, but participants did have to register to secure their spot for one, two or all three modules we were delivering in each town. The topics and content shared at each location was informed by local regional partners (Chambers of Commerce, Councils, RDAs etc).

With just a four week project lead in time and just two weeks marketing lead time, The Training Collective successfully achieved over 450 registrations across the x5 events and saw 60% of those attend. A range of media coverage was achieved and feedback from participants was excellent. See:>https://www.thecreativecollective.com.au/blog/facebook-community-boost-program/for a full run down.

Fox Head Australia
We’ve had loads of fun helping action sports brand Fox Head Australia, who are based in Melbourne but have a nationwide presence, with social media strategies and social media training. Their social networks are massive and keeping on top of them is a huge challenge.

Mick Sinclair, Marketing Manager for Fox and his team are super social media savvy, but we’ve still been able to teach them new tricks and tools to help them monitor and manage their burgeoning networks. Check out this testimonial of Mick talking about a Content Strategy full day workshop he did with us, and how it helped…

Queensland Government
The Creative Collective were contracted by DEEDI (Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation) in June 2010 to develop and deliver webinars for businesses across Queensland, the first time the Department had offered webinars. The Creative Collective have since successfully retendered four times since this time, the most recent being a series of four webinars on digital marketing topics which ran in May 2013 and a series of 6 webinars run in Small Business Week, July 2013.

Upwards of 5000 people participated in these webinars and we received a barrage of positive testimonials and exceptionally high satisfaction levels.

Australian Tourism Data Warehouse
The Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) is a central content and distribution platform for the Australian tourism industry.

The Training Collective devised a training program for ATDW staff including a combination of half days and full day trainings offered internally at the ATDW offices in Brisbane including sessions on Social Media Strategy, Linkedin, Facebook and Content Strategy. We also assisted them with the development of a module on Managing Your Social Media Risk, which is now a part of their hugely popular eKit for tourism operators.

Sunshine Coast Destinations
As the peak industry body for tourism on the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast Destinations are charged with offering regular training opportunities to their valued members. The organisation approached us with a list of proposed workshops, and we worked with them to devise a year long program with a mixture of half day and full day workshops in both hands on BYO laptop style and seminar style, on a wide range of topics, specifically targeting the tourism industry. Drawing on our extensive pool of trainers we were able to provide various perspectives and expert knowledge on topics such as marketing plans, SEO, social media, local optimisation and more!
GJ Gardner
G.J. Gardner Homes are a well-known house builder. With a growing network of franchisees across Australia & New Zealand, we were called on to deliver essential social media training to all of their Queensland franchisees during an annual conference on Magnetic Island. Working with them we were able to help individual franchisees understand the power of social media and to empower them with social media skills to encourage them to continue marketing their local businesses on their return home.

What Our Students Say

We are humbled to regularly receive a wide range of testimonials from people who participate in training with us. Don’t just believe us. Check out what our clients say below:
This was so helpful. Covered all the topics I’ve been stuck on and the session was well-structured and well-paced and presented.
SEO Webinar participant
The training I received during the WordPress for Business session has helped demystify the nuts and bolts of my website.  I now feel that I have the knowledge to make some ongoing changes to the website to help keep it relevant.  There is obviously so much more that I need to know, but this session was a great start and I look forward to further training in the future.
BYO Participant
Johannes did a great job training us thank you. He was very clear and knows his material inside out!
Lisa Bergsma
Learning heaps and really enjoying it so far. I love the depth of the course and resources available. I really glad that i have a lot of time to be able to put into it!
JARED BYRNE
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on a terrific course. Its flexibility became my saviour many times. Initially, my intention upon doing the course was to “fill in the gaps”. But I learnt more than that -so much more…. I have delved into social media, and found myself enlightened with the privacy settings! … I had used Google Analytics before, with no real understanding, until your e-lesson and webinar. Both were invaluable for great website resources and simple explanations of the complexities of the analysis. I have much greater knowledge and understanding of web marketing, both paid and unpaid, and am introducing myself to mail chimp and pay per click as time allows. It was great to bounce ideas off my mentor, who was actually fantastic at positive constructive feedback as the site progressed. Giving me time on the phone, as well as the Facebook lounge and private e-mails, kept me on track. This program has given me a great on line toolbox. You ought to see my bookmarks page!!! Thanks again for everything – well worth the price!
PAULINE BOS
I gained new insight into social media and latest online trends such as ‘influencers’ and ‘SEO’.
BYO Participant
Thank you Yvette, Zoe, Paul, Anthony and everyone involved in the program – I enjoyed every aspect of it! Beside providing me with tools with which to improve my online presence, it gave me confidence to go on. There is so much information packed in these twelve weeks, it is invaluable!
MARIE-HELENE BLACKMORE
The program has been a wonderful experience for me…way out of my comfort zone! And I wish to say a huge thanks to the GUTS team for your help, support and patience. My thanks also to Krishna, she has been fabulous to me, I owe her a debt of gratitude!
DI RIDDELL
A wealth of information has been shared – mind blowing stats for future social media, hard to get my head around reinforced our need to engage in one or several forms of social media, best of all, it was very easy listening. Thank you.
DANETTE SMITH
Using all the knowledge and tools we have learned from the course, we have totally reconstructed a new website, blogs, FB, twitter etc. We are receiving approx. 50-60 emails per day in response to posts, blogs, likes etc. We have recently re-graded our new site and have achieved 44%! And we have by far, overtaken our competitors! And all in a matter of weeks…..it’s amazing! So we are right up there on the front page of Google! Check out our new site! http://www.jetskihire.net.au. I recommend the course to anyone! Thank you all so very much!
