Training Overview
Designed for those leading teams and managing clients.
You're already using AI in your day-to-day work. This course helps you use it better, and lead others to do the same.
Designed for account managers and directors, it covers the strategic and practical sides of AI in a PR agency setting. You'll learn how to apply AI to your day-to-day work such as campaign planning, messaging development and audience insight. You’ll also learn how to have confident client conversations about AI policy and disclosure, and how to maintain quality when your team is using AI across their work.
We also cover the essentials for successful AI use in a PR agency: managing expectations, spotting problems in AI-assisted output, building AI into team workflows without cutting corners, and navigating the governance and reputational risks that come with getting it wrong.
You'll leave knowing how to use AI to add genuine value to your clients.
Focus: Applying AI with confidence across campaign work, team management and client relationships.

Learn AI from PR Pro
Our trainer combines 15+ years of strategic communications experience at leading agencies and global brands with hands-on AI development skills - actually coding, building systems, and deploying AI tools rather than just theorising about them.
With a practical certification in machine learning and AI from Imperial College, his work focuses on real-world implementation: showing communications professionals what works, what doesn't, and how to transform workflows without the hype. He runs a respected learning platform testing AI tools specifically for communications practitioners, taking a "we tried it so you don't have to" approach.
Available as a 90-minute webinar (demo-led, interactive and practical) or a half-day online workshop (three hours, hands-on, with extended exercises and tailored action planning).
This course is delivered online so that the trainer can share the screen and tools with delegates.
Practical Training for Every AI Platform
All sessions are designed as tool-agnostic (transferable across Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) with specific guidance for Microsoft Copilot environments.
Note on Microsoft Copilot
All the sessions above are designed to be tool-agnostic, covering principles and techniques that work across AI platforms.
For organisations using Microsoft Copilot, we can specifically look at:
- Demonstrations and exercises which are tailored to Copilot interfaces (Word, Outlook, Teams)
- Copilot-specific guidance on integration with Microsoft 365 workflows
- Honest assessment of Copilot strengths and limitations vs. other tools
