In this module, you’ll use AI to build the strategic foundation for an effective marketing campaign. You’ll start by turning raw marketing inputs—such as brand guidelines, audience information, and product details—into SMART goals and measurable outcomes. You’ll then use AI to create customer personas that sharpen audience targeting and a company persona that keeps your messaging consistent and on brand. Finally, you’ll bring these elements together in a campaign brief and use AI to review your plan for risks, gaps, and areas for improvement before moving into execution.
