About this course

For marketing, business, and commerce students and grads. This intermediate course bridges the gap between a business degree and what agencies and companies actually need on day one — the practical 'AI on the marketing and ops floor' skills that get you hired and make you immediately useful.

You'll use AI for real market and competitor research, build a content engine that produces campaigns and copy at scale, analyze performance data and automate recurring reports, and assemble a small marketing/ops mini-assistant that handles repetitive work. The edge it gives you: you arrive able to do the output of a small team — research, content, reporting — and you can point to a working assistant you built. Every lesson produces a usable asset, and you finish with a portfolio showcase: a sample campaign, an analytics report, and your mini-assistant — proof you drive results, not just describe them.

8 lessons

01

AI Market & Competitor Research

Use AI to map a market, profile competitors, and pull out positioning gaps — then verify the findings so you're not acting on hallucinations. You'll produce a verified competitive-landscape brief for a real or chosen brand.

50 min 📖
02

Customer Insight and Audience Personas

Turn reviews, surveys, and social chatter into sharp audience insights and personas with AI. You'll deliver a data-grounded persona set and a messaging angle for each.

50 min 📖
03

Building a Content Engine

Set up a repeatable system that turns one idea into a full content set — posts, captions, email, ad variants — on-brand and at scale. You'll ship a one-week content batch produced through your engine.

55 min 📖
04

Brand Voice, Quality Control, and Editing

Train AI on a brand voice and build an editing pass that keeps output sharp and on-tone instead of generic. You'll produce a brand-voice guide + prompt that any teammate could reuse.

45 min 📖
05

Analytics Without the Headache

Use AI to interpret campaign and web analytics, spot what's working, and explain it in plain language to a manager. You'll deliver a clear, insight-led performance summary from real or sample data.

55 min 📖
06

Automating Recurring Reports

Build a repeatable workflow that turns raw numbers into a formatted recurring report every week or month. You'll produce a report template + workflow that saves hours and looks senior.

50 min 📖
07

Build a Marketing/Ops Mini-Assistant

Assemble a small custom assistant that handles repetitive marketing or ops tasks — drafting, summarizing, answering routine questions. You'll ship a working mini-assistant you can demo.

60 min 📖
08

Capstone: Campaign + Assistant Showcase

Package a sample campaign, an analytics report, and your mini-assistant into one portfolio showcase with the results and process documented. This is the proof that gets business grads hired into real marketing and ops roles.
