The campaign will help small businesses and communities to: ➢ Realise the benefits of digital engagement➢ Take their first steps online for those not engaging at all➢ Get more comfortable and willing to utilise digital for those reticent to engage more➢ Gain digital skills to help their businesses grow➢ Access more great opportunities for those willing to ‘go for it’
What is Do It Digital?
The campaign’s second 100 Days of Digital launched in December 2016 with 100 days to highlight digital help and opportunities: promoting and highlighting every day for 100 days a tool, service, provider or solution to help small businesses get online – mostly for free
