Simbound.com - Digital Marketing Simulation Reviews 39

I teach Digital Marketing to undergraduate students. I used Simbound in class in University of South Florida and Augustana University. Students really like Simbound and told me Simbound helped them get more familiar with digital marketing such as web marketing, SEM, SEO, social media marketing, email marketing, etc. As an instructor, I also like Simbound because it helps me engage students in Digital Marketing class.

It's a game changer. shaping the future of learning, gaming, and training

The "Simulator" offers a realistic and immersive experience, making it an excellent tool for "training, learning, and skill development". With its "interactive interface and real-time feedback", it enhances "practical understanding" in a risk-free environment. A must-try for those looking to "hone their skills efficiently"!

Simbound has provided a valuable simulation platform for our Digital Marketing and alternative dissertation modules. The simulation is clear and easy to understand. There are ample resources, including PDFs and videos, available for students. Most importantly, Louis and his team are extremely supportive and responsive. They are quick to help and provide assistance when students (or instructors) approach them with issues regarding the simulation.

Very quick response and also gives a good solution

The staff was accommodating and quick with their replies. They were very professional and nice.

I was struggling with creating a campaign and the staff was very helpful and patient with it.

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.

The simulation had a number of rounds (which we could set) allowing students to put together a marketing plan, web pages, landing pages, Ads, Email campaigns, Community management (replicating social media) and affiliation marketing.

We found that student engagement increased as did the quality of the summative assessments and overall student knowledge.

The Simbound team were extremely helpful, they were approachable, assisting with student queries, providing clear direction and training for practitioners to deliver the simulation.

I will be using the simulation from Simbound in all future assessments for this module.

Since 2020, I have chosen to integrate the Simbound simulation in my Online Business Administration Course for the French Section Master Students in Business Administration, Faculty of Business Administration in foreign languages (FABIZ)- Bucharest University of Economic Studies.

The added value of the Simbound simulation consists in:
- It implies putting students in the position of taking decisions and create Digital Marketing Campaigns;
- At each round you can add additional topics linked to Digital Marketing (website, ads, e-mail, community, affiliate marketing), so that the students focus more on each topic;
- The students can download the case, watch the explanatory videos for each Digital marketing topic, so that they can easily understand the needed steps;
- The students will work in teams, but the professor can also see the individual input of each member of the team;
- The professor benefits from support from the Simbound management team, for the best planning of the classes;
- After each round, the professor gets the results and, at the end of the simulation, the professor can ask each team to explain their adopted strategies and their lessons learned based on the reports.

I truly recommend using the Simbound simulation as a practical support for the theoretical courses.

Problem Solved Immediately. Thanks for your response

Very useful simulation for students to practice digital marketing techniques. Customer support is great too, Louis is very helpful in setting up the system and fast to respond to all the inquiries. Would recommend!

Simbound is a useful tool in our Digital Marketing class. It provides students with a risk-free environment to apply concepts such as PPC ads, landing page creation, and email marketing. Louis and his team are also very supportive and provide quick and prompt help, which is essential for teaching a large cohort.

The simulation is a very good kick start for student to try the digital tools in a risk free environment. It let them apply what they have learnt in class and see the results of their decisions. I recommend it to share it with digital marketers to start learning about websites, emails, ads and their affects. Thank you.

It's a great game and useful for understanding the world of marketing
Better.

The simulation of 5 weeks helped me gain a lot of experience of the real-world paid ads market.

I have had to play this game during class about e-commerce at Kozminski University. Game didn't give me any new informations about e-commerce. It was all about some game algorithm, not about real e-commerce.

At Avans Hogeschool Breda we have used Simbound in our marketing course for 2 years now. Students have already learned about online marketing possibilities during their study. Through Simound they experience what it is like to work in online marketing, by playing the simulation game. The students like to play the game and as teachers we notice they are involved in classes and become more confident about their online marketing knowledge. The people behind the Simbound game are very helpful and kind, which is a big plus.
