Foundations
Gen AI Crash Course: AI for Brand Work

Build your first AI workflows around the tasks you already do every week.

  • What AI can (and can’t) do — real use cases applied by top-tier marketers
  • The secrets behind effective prompt engineering — the CRAFT framework
  • A live review demo on a real piece of work you’re currently running
Aha moment

Build and compare your creative-brief outputs from Claude / ChatGPT before and after learning the CRAFT framework.

02
Data Track
Turn Your Data Into Decisions

Most reports explain what happened. Few explain why it happened — and what to do next.

  • A Gen-AI-powered dashboard that brings the insights you need to life
  • An AI-assisted performance-narrative template for your brand, category, or business unit
  • Use AI to pressure-test “Why did this number move?” with hypotheses, evidence, and follow-up checks
Aha moment

Bring your ugliest, most complex data sheets. Leave with a clean, client-ready performance narrative in under 15 minutes.

03
Presentation Track
Decks That Drive Decisions

Stop staring at a blank slide. Turn scattered inputs, rough ideas, and messy data into a story people can act on.

  • Generate a slide-by-slide outline with sharp titles, key messages, and the evidence each page needs
  • Generate on-brand product visuals in under a minute
  • Pre-empt feedback with an AI stakeholder simulator
Aha moment

Bring a blank screen or a chaotic brief. Leave with a bulletproof deck outline — strategic logic and generated visuals — before lunch.

Capstone
Build Your AOP Deck

Leave with a custom AI system your whole team can use — infrastructure on your desk, not just skills in your head.

  • Co-write a full brand plan with AI as your strategist
  • Build a reusable AI assistant trained on your brand voice
  • Set up automated weekly reporting
Aha moment

Walk out with a working AI assistant configured for your brand — hand it to a colleague that afternoon.

"

After the session, I knew how to use Claude to process data — reducing to only 30 minutes of creating and QC-ing AI reports, instead of spending half a day manually navigating big data and drawing charts.

After just one session, I genuinely feel I can use Claude in a smarter and more sophisticated way — rather than just treating it like a normal chat interface the way I used to.


Mai Nguyen
Brand Marketing Specialist, Be Group

Start small. Scale when it clicks.

Start with one session. Most people know AI can help. The challenge is figuring out where it fits into the work you actually do. Session 1 gives you a practical workflow, real examples, and something useful you can apply immediately.

The problems we hear from teams
before they call us.

"

There's no quality AI training out there that actually understands the Vietnam market, brand work, and how to apply Gen AI to it.

"

My company pays for AI tools, but we've seen no real improvement in output and no commercial impact.

"

A few people experiment with AI on their own, but nothing is shared and nothing sticks across the team.

"

Generic AI courses teach prompts in theory — none of it maps to the briefs, data, and decks my team works on every day.

From first call to finished playbook.
