Advanced AI in Marketing

Facilitated by Peter Mangin, Founder of AI Innovisory

Unlock the full potential of AI to supercharge your marketing strategy.

This hands-on workshop is a deep dive into how marketers can practically and strategically harness the power of AI, particularly generative AI tools, to elevate their marketing efforts. The session equips marketers with cutting-edge knowledge, hands-on techniques, and ethical considerations necessary to use AI responsibly and effectively.

From understanding foundational technologies like transformers and diffusion models to mastering the application of ChatGPT, Perplexity and Recraft, the workshop is designed to enhance participants' confidence in using AI for tasks like:

Market analysis;
Content creation;
Trend forecasting;
Competitor monitoring; and
Customer insight development.

It also addresses the critical need for transparency, privacy, compliance, and collaboration with IT departments when integrating AI solutions.

Critical Thinking for Marketers

Facilitated by Carl Davidson, Chief Curiosity Officer at The Curiosity Company

In a world drowning in data and awash with bullshit, critical thinking just might be the most important skill marketers need.

Delivered in four online sessions, this workshop draws from behavioural science and cognitive psychology to demonstrate some of the flaws in our everyday ways of thinking, and provide some tools to sharpen your critical thinking and problem solving mindset.

In the process, you’ll see why critical thinking is rare (it’s much harder than you’d expect) and why most organisations make it much harder still.

You’ll learn why we’re all wired to think like lawyers rather than scientists, and why David Ogilvy was right about how evidence gets misused.

The workshop will then introduce a range of tools to unleash your critical thinking, nurture your scepticism, and supercharge your decision-making acumen.

In partnership with our friends at MOPED, we have arranged a special price for this workshop for participants joining us from Tauranga.
