conventionally associated with
mobile telecoms). A £1.5

(advertising and agency fees)

via direct recruitment (via
social channels), thus saving
agency costs

employees on social
networking and publication
techniques – to raise the
profile of Vodafone’s expertise
and participation in this space.

availability of jobs
