Curriculum
The 12-week curriculum
Four phases. Twelve modules. One project that grows every week.
Week 1
The Integrated Marketer
How marketing actually works, from first click to final sale. CATT in depth, choosing a niche, and researching your customer properly through interviews, reviews and search data. You'll also set up the AI workflow you'll use for the rest of the programme.
You build: your capstone brief, customer profile and 12-week marketing plan.
Week 2
Content and Copywriting
What to say before where to say it. Content pillars, formats, hooks, headlines and storytelling. How to turn one idea into ten pieces, and how to use AI to draft without sounding like everyone else.
You build: a 30-day content calendar and your first three pieces.
Week 3
Your Digital Home
Every channel sends people somewhere. This week you build that somewhere: domains, hosting, WordPress and AI website builders, landing page structure, page speed, and capturing leads from day one.
You build: a live website with a landing page that converts.
Week 4
SEO and AI Search
Keyword research, search intent, on-page, technical and local SEO, and the links that matter. Then the new part: showing up when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI answers instead of scrolling through results.
You build: an SEO audit and three optimised pages.
Week 5
Social Media and Personal Branding
Which platforms matter for your audience, and which to ignore. LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube; short-form video, carousels, and how algorithms decide what spreads. Plus how to build a personal brand that keeps paying you back for years.
You build: optimised profiles and a two-week posting sprint.
Week 6
Meta Ads
Facebook and Instagram ads from zero: objectives, campaign structure, audiences, and creatives that stop the scroll. Pixel and Conversions API set up properly, budgets, testing, and knowing when to scale and when to stop.
You build: a live campaign on a small test budget.
Week 7
Google Ads and YouTube Ads
Search ads capture demand that already exists. Keywords, match types, ad copy, Quality Score, bidding, Performance Max and YouTube. Above all, reading the data and cutting waste before it cuts you.
You build: a complete search campaign and keyword plan.
Week 8
Email and WhatsApp Marketing
The channels you own. Lead magnets, list building, welcome sequences, newsletters people actually open, and deliverability. WhatsApp broadcasts and communities, done without annoying anyone.
You build: a lead magnet and a five-email welcome sequence.
Week 9
Automation and Authority
CRMs, segmentation and automated journeys that keep nurturing people while you sleep. Then the trust builders: webinars, workshops, case studies, reviews and community.
You build: an automated journey from sign-up to sales conversation.
Week 10
Offers, Funnels and Conversion
Most marketing fails at the offer, not the ad. You'll design offers with the SCOPE framework from Deepak's book Deep Offers, then build funnels around them: lead, webinar, low-ticket and application funnels. Sales pages, pricing psychology and A/B testing.
You build: a complete funnel for your capstone offer.
Week 11
Analytics and AI Automation
If you can't measure it, you're guessing expensively. GA4, Google Tag Manager, UTMs, attribution and Looker Studio dashboards. Then AI agents and automations with Zapier, Make and n8n that take repetitive work off your plate.
You build: a live dashboard for your capstone funnel.
Week 12
Get Paid, and Demo Day
Turn the skill into income: a job, freelancing, an agency or your own business. Portfolios, proposals, pricing and interviews, plus how to sell without pushing, using MAP + COAST from Deep Selling. Then Demo Day, where you present your capstone.
You build: your portfolio case study and Demo Day presentation.
