Conducted by experts from eMarketingEye and Google, the workshops will provide the audience with latest industry insights on how to maximize revenue from digital marketing. They will cover a variety of Digital Marketing topics related to SEO, PPC, Social Media and measurement along with the latest industry trends and updates, backed up with case studies and interactive Q&A sessions.

Launched earlier this quarter, the EME Digital Academy was created with the objective of sharing the company’s knowledge in digital marketing with the industry. Following the downturn in the tourism industry caused by the security situation in the country, eMarketingEye decided to tap into its vast experience and unparalleled expertise in the digital marketing space to give back to the Sri Lankan Hospitality and Travel industry in order to help it bounce back from the drastic slump in bookings. As the first step, at the “Sancharaka Udawa” exhibition, eMarketingEye conducted a workshop on ‘Sri Lanka’s Digital Bounce Back Strategy for Hospitality’, which was based on a comprehensive impact analysis conducted based on over 100 hotels in Sri Lanka. The ‘EME 5 Step Approach’ was formulated to give the Hospitality and Travel industry the ultimate digital recovery strategy to accelerate growth. Beyond the upcoming workshops, the Academy plans to expand the workshops with the help of key partners to reach out to audiences across other industries in Sri Lanka and abroad.
Expressing his views, Rajitha Dahanayake – CEO of eMarketingEye stated, “As a pioneer in digital marketing in Sri Lanka, it is our duty to enhance the knowledge levels in the Hospitality and Travel industry. This is especially important since the industry is still recovering from the drop in business following the unfortunate attacks in April and the subsequent uncertainty across the country. Given this backdrop, it is clear that the EME Digital Academy is a much-needed and timely initiative for Sri Lanka as tourism is one of the country’s biggest revenue earners. The Academy provides a platform for companies, initially in the Hospitality industry and subsequently in other industries, to obtain the most up-to-date knowledge on the rapidly-changing digital marketing space courtesy of world-class experts from eMarketingEye together with our global partners.”.
