Here’s the Real Truth

We’ve all been sold on the promise of AI being a game-changer for marketing - prompt libraries for social media, GPTs for content creation, and automated tools for everything under the sun. But are we really saving time? Is your bottom line moving? How are we actually shifting the needle? 

Have you noticed how almost every marketing message and social caption sounds the same? It’s no coincidence. We can sniff out AI-written content from a mile away.

It’s Time To Go Beyond The Buzz

There’s no denying it: AI is transforming the way we market. From automating repetitive tasks and analysing huge data sets to personalising campaigns at scale and predicting customer behaviour, AI offers immense potential. But the real opportunity isn’t in letting AI take over - it’s in learning how to use it as a tool to amplify human creativity and strategy.

In the not-for-profit sector, where every dollar matters and every moment counts, leveraging AI strategically can mean the difference between stagnation and growth. This two-day workshop is designed to help you move beyond the hype and harness AI in a way that amplifies your unique strengths while delivering measurable results.

-----------

What Sets This Workshop Apart?

    You can forget prompt libraries and one-size-fits-all tools here – this workshop focuses on elevating your marketing strategy and showcasing your value in an AI-driven workplace. We’ll tackle real-world problems faced by our workshop partner organisation, Good360’s marketing team, covering eCommerce, brand management, design, reporting, and customer relationship management, while also addressing the unique needs of Good360’s stakeholders – donor organisations, partners, charities, and customers. 

    Together, we’ll develop solutions that not only streamline workflows and amplify your marketing team’s efficiency but also strengthen relationships with stakeholders and maximise the positive impact for the communities you serve.

    You can’t afford to miss this workshop if you’re navigating:

    • The uncertainty of AI’s role in maximising impact while keeping costs down.
    • The challenge of identifying where human skills can best complement AI, to drive meaningful change and engagement in your campaigns.
    • The pressure to maintain a creative and strategic edge amidst limited resources and a rapidly evolving landscape.

    Who Is This Workshop For?

    • Marketing Professionals in NFP, Social Enterprise and/or For-Purpose Organisations: Marketing Managers, Directors, and Strategists who want to integrate AI tools effectively into their campaigns.
    • Program Leaders: Those responsible for maximising the impact of their organisation’s initiatives through better audience engagement.
    • Resource-Conscious Decision-Makers: Individuals tasked with achieving greater results with limited budgets.

    Who This Event Is Not For?

    • AI Enthusiasts: Those looking for a general introduction to AI without a specific focus on NFP marketing.
    • Tech-Only Professionals: Individuals seeking advanced technical AI training without interest in strategic applications for impact-driven organisations.

    -----------

    Together, We Will:

    Over two immersive days, your team will gain the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate the rapidly changing AI landscape. This workshop isn’t about adding to their workload - it’s about empowering them to achieve more with less. Here's what you can expect:

      Equip your team with actionable AI-powered strategies to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable time to focus on creative and strategic priorities that drive real results.
