Digital Marketing Workshops

Digital Marketing Training Workshops

Learn it. Apply it. Implement it.

Practical short courses for SMEs and non-profits — covering SEO, social media, digital marketing and the changing role of generative AI.

Digital marketing has changed. Your training should too.

Search has evolved beyond traditional Google results. Social media has become an important part of how organisations communicate and build relationships. Generative AI is also changing how people discover information and how businesses approach their marketing.

Our small-group courses focus on understanding your organisation, your audience and your existing digital presence — then turning that knowledge into things you can actually implement.

Workshops

Focused, practical training rather than digital marketing theory for its own sake.

People per group

Small enough for questions, discussion and examples that relate directly to your organisation.

Training built around your situation

Small groups allow us to make the training relevant to the people in the room. We can adapt the discussion, examples and practical exercises to your organisation's experience, needs and available resources.

Training is tailored to your organisation, taking into account your business model, target market or audience, existing digital presence, current level of digital knowledge, available time and resources, and what you actually want to achieve.

1

Understand the tools, channels and changes affecting digital marketing.

2

Apply

Relate the concepts to your own organisation, audience and digital presence.

3

Training New Zealand businesses since 2013

Formal digital marketing training began in early 2013, when business owners and leaders of non-profit organisations in the Whanganui–ManawatÅ« region approached me for training in social media and online marketing.

The approach from the beginning was to combine technical knowledge with an understanding of the organisation, its operations, its target market and what could realistically be applied.

Since then, customised training programmes have been delivered for businesses and organisations in New Zealand and the Philippines, with online sessions also delivered for organisations based in the USA, Australia and China.

The technology has changed enormously since 2013. The need for clear, practical and relevant guidance hasn't.

Human-led. AI-assisted.

AI can make digital marketing faster. It can help with research, ideas, analysis, content development and repetitive tasks.

But technology doesn't know your customers, your community, your organisation or your goals the way you do.

You bring the knowledge of your organisation. We bring years of digital marketing experience. AI assists where it genuinely adds value.

Training for your team

Courses are available for groups of 2–5 people from your business or organisation. Customised training can also be discussed if you have a specific need.
