"I used to stick to basic tools like ChatGPT, but this course really opened my eyes to the full ecosystem. What I loved is that it’s built for marketers, not techies. Jodie walks you through everything from strategy and creative right through to ethics and governance. Seeing the live demos and hearing inside stories from other leaders made it super practical. I didn't just learn theory. I walked away knowing exactly how to turn AI into a strategic partner, rather than just treating it like a chatbot."
