How to use AI for Content & Marketing Automation

Empowering Malaysian Businesses with AI-Driven Marketing Efficiency and Growth

Overview

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses aiming to stay competitive and achieve sustainable growth. Many Malaysian businesses, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), recognize AI’s potential but face significant challenges in practical implementation, often due to a lack of in-house expertise, high initial costs, and concerns about data privacy. This two-day intensive program directly addresses these pain points by providing actionable strategies and hands-on experience with leading AI tools.

This course is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between AI awareness and practical application. Participants will gain the confidence and skills to strategically integrate AI into their content creation, marketing automation, and customer engagement workflows. By focusing on accessible tools like Google Gemini, Jasper.ai, Zapier, and n8n, the program offers a clear pathway to automating repetitive tasks, personalizing outreach at scale, and ultimately driving measurable return on investment (ROI) for their marketing efforts within the unique Malaysian market context.
