Humour
Heisenberg and Schrödinger are out for a drive when they get stopped by the police. The policeman asks Heisenberg, “Sir, do you know how fast you were going?” and Heisenberg says, “No, but I know where I am!” Confused, the officer says, “Sir, you were doing 80 mph,” and Heisenberg throws his hands in the air and huffs, “Great, now I don’t know where I am anymore!”
The policeman thinks something is going on and orders the pair out of the car so that he can search it for contraband. He looks under the seats, in the glove compartment, in the back, and then walks around the car and opens the boot. He stares into it for a moment, turns to Schrödinger and says, “Sir, did you know there’s a dead cat in here?!” Schrödinger rolls his eyes and snorts, “Yeah, we do now!”

Social Animal – “The course cleared the fog…..now I have a certain amount of clarity.”
Highly recommended! Came for an SEO training session to take back info to share with the wider Pilgrims Hospices team, where I work. The Giant team is at the forefront of search and social – and they are warm and welcoming with it. Each course is full of tips and practical information with plenty of chance to ask questions and try out your skills. See you again soon guys!
I recommend GIANT campus to everyone who would like to improve their knowledge about social media marketing. The training is very good and helped me enormously to understand how to market my own company in a better, more effective way. I will be signing up for more courses in the near future!
