"My teenage daughter kept telling me ‘Dad you need to do more with social media’  - and while I knew that she was right, I simply didn’t have the time. We used our UofG Knowledge Exchange Award to hire a UofG student as a PR intern. She has since boosted or social media presence with regular updates on Twitter and Instagram and looked into the production of animations for us as well." Professor Ralf Kaiser, winner of Best Collaboration (Business) Award 2019
