Which format should we start with?

Most teams start with the 60-minute AI Strategy Sprint to get a senior read on where AI fits. Teams ready to upskill move to a half or full-day workshop. Teams ready to embed AI into the workflow move to a full integration engagement. We will recommend the right entry point on the discovery call.

How is this different to a generic AI workshop?

Most AI workshops are taught by trainers, not operators. We have run brand and marketing teams for two decades. Every recommendation comes from someone who has had to ship the work, not just talk about it.

Will my senior team actually engage with this?

Yes. The program is built for the people who have been avoiding the tools. We do not start with prompts. We start with the work, the brand, and the gaps in the current workflow. Senior marketers stay in the room because the conversation is at their level.

What if half the team is already using ChatGPT and half is not?

That is the most common starting point. The training is structured to bring everyone to the same baseline quickly, then split into stream-specific work for content, paid, SEO and EDM.

How do you protect brand voice across a team this size?

We build brand voice protection into every prompt, every workflow and every quality assurance check. We document it so it holds up regardless of who is sitting at the keyboard.

Which AI tools do you teach?

The ones that earn their place in a marketing team your size. Typically a primary writing model, an image and creative tool, a research and SEO tool, and the automation layer that connects them. We do not push tools you do not need.

How do you measure whether the integration is working?

We define success metrics in the proposal: time recovered per role, output per channel, brand voice compliance, and where relevant, channel performance. The 30-day check-in is structured against those metrics.

Will this disrupt the team while we are in market?

No. Workshops are run in half or full-day blocks. Integration is staged so the team is never offline. We work around campaign calendars, not against them.

How quickly will I see output gains?

Most teams see meaningful time recovery and output lift inside 30 days. The compounding gains, where the team moves from using AI to thinking with it, typically show by day 60.

AI Integration and Training for Marketing Teams

Your team is using AI. The output is generic, the voice is slipping, and nobody is governing it.

Your marketing team is pasting prompts into ChatGPT and hoping for the best. The work is faster but reads cheaper. Your brand voice keeps slipping.

Your senior staff are avoiding the tools entirely and losing time. Your junior staff are using them without governance and putting the brand at risk. Nobody is solving for the gap in the middle.

You know your team needs to be using AI properly. You also know most of the people selling AI training have never run a marketing team and cannot show you how to scale output without losing what your brand is built on.

AI training for marketing teams

A senior-led training program built for in-house marketing teams. Choose a 60-minute AI Strategy Sprint, a half-day workshop, or a full-day intensive. Onsite, virtually, or hybrid.

60-minute AI Strategy Sprint

A focused working session for marketing leaders who want senior thinking fast. One hour, one strategist, one priority.

You leave with:

A clear read on where AI fits inside your team's current workflow
A short list of tools worth your team's time, and the ones to ignore
Two or three prompts built live in your brand voice for the work the team does most often
A next step the team can run on Monday morning

Built as the lightest entry point. Useful before scoping a full workshop, between campaigns, or when a single decision is holding the team up.

Half-day or full-day workshop

A deeper, hands-on training program for marketing teams ready to build real capability across the function.

You leave with:

A clear view of the AI tool landscape, demystified for marketers
Prompt design that produces work in your voice, not generic copy
Use cases mapped to the workflows your team actually has, across content, paid, SEO, EDM and reporting
Governance and brand voice protection your senior team will trust
Hands-on practice on the tools you have decided to adopt

Built for marketing teams of 5 to 50.

AI marketing integration

A senior-led implementation engagement for marketing teams past the training stage and ready to embed AI into the workflow properly.

You leave with:

An audit of your current marketing workflow and where AI earns its place
A tool stack matched to your team size, your budget and your output targets
A custom workflow across content, paid media, SEO, EDM and reporting
Brand voice and quality assurance frameworks your senior team has signed off
Team enablement so the integration sticks after we leave

Built for marketing teams who already know they want AI in the workflow but need senior thinking on how to deploy it without breaking brand or quality standards.

Why we are the right partner

Two decades inside Australia's most competitive brand and marketing teams, now applied to the AI moment your team is in.

We are not a tech consultancy. We are a senior-led brand and marketing collective that has done the integration work for ourselves and for client teams across hospitality, retail, professional services and consumer brands. We know what works on a Monday morning, not just what looks good in your boardroom.

You get:

A senior strategist on every engagement, not a junior trainer reading slides
Specialists assembled around your team and your workflow
Brand-safe AI adoption that does not damage your voice, your quality or your senior team's confidence in the work
A 30-day check-in after we leave to make sure it sticks

Who we built this for

Your marketing team is between 5 and 50 people and you want them using AI without losing your voice
You are a CMO, marketing director or business owner and you want your team upskilled properly, not handed a list of prompts
Your senior staff are avoiding the tools and your junior staff are using them without governance
You run a hospitality, retail, professional services or consumer brand and you move quickly
You want a partner who understands how marketing teams actually run, not just AI

How it works

Step 1. A 20-minute discovery call. Bring a current AI question your team has not solved yet. We work through it on the call.

Step 2. A short proposal with fixed scope and fixed price. AI Strategy Sprint, workshop, integration, or a combination.

Step 3. We deliver, senior-led, with the people on your team who do the actual work.

Step 4. A 30-day check-in to make sure the integration holds after we leave (workshops and integrations).
