Rohim Mohammed
The Simbound simulation: University College Birmingham
"The Simbound simulation was used as part of an assessment strategy for a module on SEO and Digital Advertising. We chose the Simbound platform as it resonated well with what we were trying to achieve: exposing students to the world of SEO, how it works and can be managed by simulating market conditions and the environment. Students found this simulation extremely helpful saying how they found its application powerful in addressing the theory being taught in lectures."

Serena Pasqualetto
Bridging the gap between theory and practice
"I have been using Simbound in my Digital Advertising laboratory. I have always struggled with making my students fully grasp the logic behind Paid Search. With Simbound, they were able to understand a bit better what it means to set up a search campaign for an e-commerce website and how to optimize it to improve profitability and gain more revenue. With some preliminary study and context, I think Simbound can be a nice tool to integrate in an e-commerce marketing course."

“All of the students in my course appreciated the simulation and the insights resulting from using it.”
