SUMMARY:AI Pathway Grow Smarter: Workshop Series #2
DESCRIPTION:AI for Demand Generation: October 14\, 2026\nCreating more content won’t grow your business. Creating the right content will. \nUse AI to build a focused\, differentiated demand generation engine from awareness through nurture without sounding generic. \nCreating more content does not always create more customers. Successful marketing starts with understanding your audience\, delivering the right message\, and consistently showing up where your customers are looking. This session will show you how AI can help you do that more efficiently while keeping your marketing authentic and aligned with your business. \nYou will create a practical AI assisted marketing campaign tailored to your business. \nWhether you are promoting a new business\, growing an established company\, or looking to improve your current marketing efforts\, you will leave with practical tools and a campaign you can continue building after the session. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ai-pathway-grow-smarter-workshop-series-5-topics-5-dates-tickets-1995683462960?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=IwY2xjawTpaaZwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4Dw4sv3uY2OTJeGywCXAx4Ehnlan6m7O-kISzEOx7rbyS2W0UzGpex1FTgBg_aem_scEEmyjx2e8e2xQIbt7kow

SUMMARY:AI Pathway Grow Smarter: Workshop #1
DESCRIPTION:AI for Market Strategy & Product-Market Fit: September 24\, 2026\nAI won’t fix a fuzzy strategy. It just produces polished noise faster. \nUse AI to get sharp on who you serve\, why they buy\, and where you stand against the competition before spending a dollar on marketing. \nYou’ll build a Product-Market Fit Snapshot for your own business that you can immediately begin testing. \nWhether you’re launching something new\, struggling to attract the right customers\, or looking to grow an established business\, this session will help you replace assumptions with evidence and leave with a clearer strategy for moving forward. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ai-pathway-grow-smarter-workshop-series-5-topics-5-dates-tickets-1995683462960?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=IwY2xjawTpaaZwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4Dw4sv3uY2OTJeGywCXAx4Ehnlan6m7O-kISzEOx7rbyS2W0UzGpex1FTgBg_aem_scEEmyjx2e8e2xQIbt7kow
