WHO IT'S FOR

A busy owner with ideas to act on.

You know your business and have ideas for promoting it. Finding the time, getting the work done or knowing which tools to use keeps holding you back. This course is for you, and for small marketing teams carrying the same pressure.

If AI is moving quickly and you worry about getting left behind, we'll help you build practical confidence at a pace that suits you. Learn to use the platforms more effectively, develop your thinking and get support with the work between an idea and its execution.

We'll understand your goals, the work that takes up your time and the systems you already use before recommending the best-fit plugins, connectors and workflows. Examples may include ChatGPT, Canva and Metricool, with connections to your documents, spreadsheets or CRM where useful.

We can also explore Make or Zapier when an automation would help. The recommended setup depends on your business, budget, available integrations and permissions.

OPTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION

Want us to build it?

Have a clear idea of what needs to improve, but little time to set it up? We can build one agreed time-saving workflow in your own tools and show you how to use it.

Get the time-saving setup done.

We start with a job that keeps pulling you away from the business, then scope one clearly defined workflow connecting up to three existing tools through supported integrations. That could be preparing a regular report, organising content approvals or making the scheduling handover easier.

You get a fixed quote, tested setup and a practical handover. We agree what the system should do and where you want a review, so you can use it with confidence and get back to the work that needs you.

Available after training or as a standalone project. Larger builds, custom integrations and additional workflows are quoted separately.

STARTER IMPLEMENTATION · ONE WORKFLOW
From £1,500
  • Scoping and agreed workflow design
  • Setup across up to three existing tools
  • Testing, review points and failure notifications
  • Written guide and a 60-minute handover
  • 14 days of fixes within the agreed scope after handover

Training fees, software subscriptions and usage costs are separate. Any ongoing maintenance is agreed separately.

Frequently asked questions.

Tell us what is taking up your time and what you want to make happen. We'll help you choose the right training and support.

Tell us about your business ↗
Is this suitable if I'm still finding my feet with AI?

Yes. Bring your business knowledge and a willingness to try. We tailor the day to your starting point, help you understand what the platforms can do and practise using them on work that matters to you.

Is this about making lots of AI-generated social posts?

The focus is the useful work behind your marketing: developing ideas, researching, preparing briefs and drafts, organising tasks, scheduling and reporting. Your expertise and personality shape the message. Generating images or filling a feed with generic posts is not the purpose of the course.

Do we need to know how to code?

No. The course focuses on practical workflows and tools your team can understand and use. We tailor the pace to your experience and identify where a simple built-in feature will do the job.

Will you recommend the right plugins and connectors?

Yes. We start with your ideas, goals and the work that takes too much time. Then we recommend suitable platforms, plugins and connectors, checking the tools you already have, the costs and what your accounts support.

Will we have a fully automated system after one day?

Training includes guided practice and a simple workflow prototype where access allows. Live deployment, wider integration and production testing are scoped separately through our implementation option.

What does implementation from £1,500 include?

One agreed workflow across up to three existing tools using supported integrations. It includes scoping, setup, testing, a written guide, a 60-minute handover and 14 days of fixes within the agreed scope. We confirm the exact scope and fixed price before work starts.

Can we book implementation without the course?

Yes. If you already know what you need, we can discuss a standalone implementation project. We'll still check the workflow, available integrations and intended outcome before quoting.

Are software costs and ongoing support included?

Software subscriptions, platform or AI usage charges, hosting where needed, and ongoing maintenance are separate. We identify expected running costs before you commit. The initial implementation includes 14 days of fixes to the agreed setup; additional changes and ongoing support are quoted separately.

Will AI publish or contact customers without a check?

We agree where human approval belongs in the workflow. Content quality, permissions and the effect of each action are part of the training and implementation scope. You'll know what runs automatically, what needs a review and how to pause the system.

Can the whole course fit into one day?

We agree priorities during onboarding and focus on a real marketing idea and a useful time-saving task. The six topic areas guide a bespoke day; the depth depends on your starting point, tools and access.
