How can modern digital marketing be successfully implemented in your company?

A lot is currently happening in digital marketing: from the use of chatGPT to image generators, artificial intelligence is finding its way into almost every company. At the same time, many B2B marketing managers are asking themselves: "We're not that digital yet! How are we supposed to keep up?"  

In this online training "Strategies and Tools for Successful Digital Marketing: From ChatGPT to Marketing Qualified Lead", participants will learn how to successfully digitalise their marketing and sales activities in order to generate targeted new customer business. For example, ChatGPT as an AI tool helps them to work more efficiently.

Led by Klaus-Peter Grave from his practical experience as a marketing manager at international B2B companies and Prof. Uwe Kleinkes as a B2B expert from Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, the participants will learn from success stories how they can generate so-called "Marketing Qualified Leads" by optimising their marketing measures on the basis of useful content and AI tools.

Who is the further training aimed at?

This further training is aimed at marketing and sales managers as well as management of B2B companies who want to make their marketing more professional and generate targeted new customer business. Prior knowledge in the field of marketing is an advantage, but not mandatory. Due to the practical approach of the training and the case study of Funke Heat Exchangers the participants learn from practice and can directly implement the acquired knowledge in their own digital application example.
