January 22 | The Gemini Content Lab: A Live Marketing Asset-Building Workshop
- đź“ŤÂ Online
- 🕛 12:00 – 1:00 PM CT
- 🎤 Presenter: Brittany Wren
Ditch the theory. This is a 45-minute, hands-on “live-build” workshop where we turn real ideas into polished marketing assets. If you’ve tried AI but are frustrated that your content sounds robotic or generic, this session will show you how to fix it. We will take a real topic and source materials (like a project description, an event flyer, or just a messy page of notes) suggested live by an attendee.
Using Google’s Gemini, I will demonstrate—step-by-step—my “structure, draft, and refine” process to create a high-quality, authentic piece of content right before your eyes. You’ll leave this lab knowing exactly how to stop staring at a blank page and start using AI as a true co-pilot to get your marketing done.
