You will understand a wide range of ways you can leverage ChatGPT in relation to a social media marketing strategy. You will experiment with different prompt engineering techniques to enhance the quality of their prompts and resultant replies. They’ll learn how to use it as a research, review and feedback mechanism, not just an ideation or copywriting tool.

While these won’t be topics we’ll have time to discuss in depth, participants will leave with an understanding of the key tools they can utilise.
