Mirna Bard's class was one of the best classes that I have taken at UCI, in the Internet Marketing Program. I have always been a traditional student and the class that Mirna taught was a WEB-EX class which blends the tradiitonal class room setting with the online classroom. Her comments really helped me thing about what I was doing with Social Media, the Internet and growing my business. I now have a new plan of action and a new perspective. If you have the opportunity to take one of Mirna's classes, you should.

I took two classes Mirna taught at UC-Irvine Extension and found both the content and her instruction detailed, comprehensive and rooted in real-world use. And then there's Mirna's infectious enthusiasm for social media and PR, where she happily pulled the vast universe of social media and internet marketing together and pinned it down for close study and strategic deployment in our own realms. Great instruction and a mood-boost, all in one!

As the senior marketing executive at my firm, it became fast apparent that social media was transforming my discipline. An old dog with 20 years of education and 30 years experience had to learn a whole new set of tricks. Mina Bard brought me to the promised land.

In early 2011, I decided to take the “Developing a Social Media Strategy” class offered by UCI and tought by Mirna Bard. The first class was so captivating and engaging that I immediately knew that I was going to be able to take away a lot from the class. Only within next few weeks, I was able to not only learn the Social Media topic, but also design and produce a concrete Social Media Strategy at work.

Mirna has this unique knack of pointing at the key issues that organizations of all size face pertaining to designing, implementing or tracking a sustainable Social Media Strategy. During the class, she identified to us an enhanced and out of the box methodology to use social media for engaging our current and potential customers; one that I thought was strategically different, game changing.
