Harnessing AI in Marketing and Communication

Harness the potential of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to transform our approach to marketing and communication. With its help, marketers can rapidly produce original text and visual content, while automating processes and enhancing efficiency.

On this four-week course from the University of Adelaide, you’ll learn how you can harness AI for your marketing and communication. From brainstorming ideas to crafting compelling content, you’ll discover how developments in AI are transforming the industry.

Practise using AI for content creation

While many businesses see boosting visibility as the primary goal of marketing, success cannot be achieved without targeted and impactful content. In Weeks 2 and 3 of the course you’ll learn how to use AI to generate impactful text- and visual-based content.

Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to develop content that resonates with your target audience, increases engagement, and drives meaningful results.

Discover how AI can contribute to measurement, analysis, and planning

Moving beyond content creation, the fourth and final week of the course will look at marketing processes more generally. You’ll learn about the role chatbots and AI data tools can play in measurement, analysis, and planning within marketing and communication.

You’ll review some existing examples of AI-driven processes, while also discussing potential future developments in the industry.

By the end of the course, you’ll be prepared to take on the future of AI in marketing and communication.
