Become a more impactful marketing leader for the AI Era in 3 weeks

How we build B2B marketing teams has fundamentally changed in the last two years. It’s hard to keep up while working at fast-growing startups with lean teams, all while balancing managing and executing. This course will fast-track your marketing skillset and your marketing plans for this new era.

You’ll learn how to use AI to your advantage (not to create AI slop). and how to craft campaigns that combine the right "fuel" (content & creative) and "engine" (distribution channels). You’ll see what leading teams are doing, learn from marketing leader guests, test AI tools (and even vibe-code something), and get ideas and projects reviewed by Emily Kramer. You’ll walk away with a 2-page marketing plan, new connections with peers, and a modern POV on marketing strategy.
