Mike Cooke, chief executive officer of Brandon Hall Group - a research and analyst organisation focused on developing research-driven solutions to drive organisational performance within executive management, learning and development, talent management, sales, and marketing functions - "It's evident that Blatant Media has a compelling learning solution. Blatant Media¹s clients have reported their solutions to be reliable, flexible, and easy to use.
