Using AI To Boost Your Creativity & Help Your Content Creation
The creative process is deeply personal, and in many instances your time can and should be spent playing, exploring and fostering a sense of discovery in order to improve your creative work. This course will dive into the basic functions of AI in relation to sparking your creativity and creating content; it’s not about using AI to improve operational efficiencies. You’ll learn how you can use free AI tools to increase your creativity, generate ideas, explore concepts, create rough design mockups on the fly, and gain insights and feedback – all while maintaining your own authenticity.
Going Global: An Overview of the International Promo Marketplace
As the world becomes more interconnected, distributors’ clients are also growing their global presence. In this course, you’ll explore how the North American promo market differs from the promo markets in the EU and U.K.; areas of opportunity for U.S. and Canadian distributors and suppliers overseas; and smart ways to start building international relationships. You’ll also learn about the best overseas networking events and tradeshows to attend, as well as pitfalls to avoid as you grow your international client base and supplier network.
