WHAT AUDIENCES SAY ABOUT LETIZIA

“We recently worked with Letizia on a challenging Educational Digital Project targeting Healthcare Providers (HCPs). She is brilliant on many levels. Few people have the knowledge and passion for making a difference with HCP through communication and digital marketing as Letizia. Her online lecture was very insightful and full of powerful content supported by customized research. Letizia’s engaging and interactive teaching style highly contributed to our audience’s learning experience and satisfaction.”

   – 4DD Team

We had the opportunity to attend a course on “Marketing Analytics” specifically designed for our Fundraising department. The team enjoyed it a lot, as Letizia was able to transform a challenging subject in something easy to understand and interesting to discuss. We benefited a lot both from the theoretical interactive lectures and the business-related discussions the course has triggered. Letizia selected and prepared very relevant case studies and guided us through engaging discussions showing her expertise in mastering the subject and the dynamics of teaching an online course.”

“We were delighted to have Prof Letizia Affinito present a webinar on ‘Creating a positive impact on patients and physicians actions through Social Media patient engagement strategies’ for our Fellowship participants.
We received excellent feedback from our attendees who found the webinar to be beneficial to their current roles and particularly enjoyed the examples of good media sources for engaging patient in the communication process.
