Bristol Social Marketing Centre
One of our CTP Members, Professor Alan Tapp, delivered a keynote speech at the Bristol Social Marketing Centre on Thursday 27th May. The event was titled “Thought Leadership in Social Marketing” and was hosted by Bristol Business School from the University of the West of England.
By all accounts the event was a great success, and we congratulate Professor Tapp on his talk.
10-Week Evening Seminar Programme
From March to May of 2010, the CTP teamed with PTRC to deliver a ten week seminar programme entitled “Successful Development of the Smarter Choices Agenda”. The seminars were held in London, and covered the background of transport psychology, behaviour change, research and evaluation, and applying the Smarter Choices programme to business cases.
Presentations were given by CTP Members including Lynn Basford, Dr Ian Walker, Dr Adrian Davis and Professor Alan Tapp. Guest speakers included Jacqui Wilkinson from Beyond Engagement, and Paul Buchanan from Colin Buchanan Consultants.
The seminar series was a great success, and plans are currently being drawn up for future seminar series. If you would like any further information on the courses, please do get in touch and we’ll be more than happy to answer any queries you may have.
