One of the things I haven’t quite managed to get around to in 2026 is running more of our Social & Strategy Session workshops, but I’ve got an idea brewing for next year...
"Marketing with AI, Without Sounding Like AI"
There’s been a LOT of chat recently about small businesses using AI in their marketing, and I can 100% see both sides of the argument.
AI can save a huge amount of time when you’re a small business owner trying to do everything yourself BUT we’ve all seen the generic, emoji-heavy copy, suspiciously polished graphics and posts that sound nothing like the person behind the business, or, even worse, exactly like everyone else.
So I’m thinking about a practical workshop for small, local businesses looking at how to use AI without losing your own voice or the human side of your marketing.
We’d cover things like teaching AI how you actually sound, getting better results from it, using it for ideas and content, and creating imagery, posters and flyers without everything looking obviously AI-generated.
Basically, using AI as an extra pair of hands without handing it the keys to your business 😅
Would you be interested in coming along to that? And, if so, what kind of days/times generally work best for you? Let me know below or drop me a message.
I’m still very much at the “does anyone actually want this?” stage, so honest answers would be really useful as I start planning 2027 with a vengeance 🖤
