Autonomy ● Live now — secure your place
● AI for Marketing — open now

AI is changing how marketing gets done. Most marketers are watching it happen. You don't have to.

You already know the craft. This is about doing it inside a company where the briefs are real, the stakeholders have strong opinions, and by Sprint 4 the brand is in crisis and the decisions are yours to make. You come out producing at a level that used to require a team.

Built on iO-Sphere's curriculum — the expert network that has trained 700+ professionals at L'Oréal, The Economist, Uber, and leading UK firms.

What you actually do

Not a course. A simulation.

You join Luma's growth team. CAC is under control. By Sprint 2 the data is telling a different story. By Sprint 3 a competitor has launched and the brief has changed. By Sprint 4 the brand is in crisis — and the decisions from here have real weight. The simulation advances with you. Every time you complete a session, a new working day opens inside the company.

🏢

Inside a real marketing function

Campaigns, attribution, content briefs, channel strategy — with AI tools embedded in every task. AI stakeholders with competing priorities. Your outputs evaluated against professional standards.

⚡

AI in every brief, not a bolt-on

Every task uses AI the way marketers actually use it — campaign analysis, content creation, performance reporting, audience modelling. You build the habit, not just the awareness.

📁

A portfolio of real, assessed work

A portfolio of real submitted work and verified competency scores. Something you can point to in your next review — not a course completion badge.

This is for you if

✓

You work in brand, performance, content, CRM, analytics, or growth marketing

✓

You want to use AI to work faster and deliver more in your current role — not change careers

✓

You know AI is reshaping the marketing function and want to be ahead of it, not reacting to it

✓

You have no technical background and don't need one — just your existing marketing knowledge

This is not for you if

✕

You're looking to change careers into data or tech (see Become an AI Data Analyst)

✕

You want a list of AI tools to try — this is a structured programme, not a product directory

✕

You have no marketing experience — the simulation assumes you already understand your fundamentals

📋 Sprint brief
Reposition Luma's premium tier for a younger audience
Luma · Senior Marketing Manager role
Luma's premium product line is losing ground with under-35 customers. The CMO wants a short positioning document she can take to the leadership team next week — new messaging, new angle, backed by your thinking on why the current approach is failing.
Use AI to research competitive positioning, draft messaging options, and make a recommendation. Show your reasoning — the CMO will challenge you on it.
Your deliverable
A positioning memo (500 words) with: diagnosis of the current problem, two alternative messaging approaches, and your recommended direction with rationale.
Your submission
Positioning Memo — Luma Premium

The core problem isn't the product — it's that we're leading with features (yield, returns, stability) that don't map to how under-35 customers think about money. They're not saving for retirement yet. They're building...

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Built for marketers, not developers. The AI tools are the ones marketing teams actually use. Zero technical background required.

How much does it cost?

£499 — one payment, lifetime access. Waitlist members get early-bird pricing (just £449 at launch, saving £50). Or pay in 3 instalments of £180. No charge until launch.

Includes AI Ready foundation — normally £129, yours at no extra charge.

How long does it take?

AI for Marketing is structured as 4 sprints — each with 3–4 focused nodes. Work through them at your own pace. You advance when your output meets the professional standard, not when the clock says so.

How do I know it's right for me before I commit?

Take the free AI Readiness Assessment first — it takes about 5 minutes and tells you exactly where you stand and which programme fits. Every sprint is mastery-based: you only advance when you've genuinely got it, so there's no way to get to the end without the skills. And if you have questions before buying, email us at [email protected] — you'll hear back from a real person.

"I'm in HR so I went in thinking most of it wouldn't really apply to me, but I ended up automating parts of our HR process and building a system that flags people who might be ready for promotion — before that it was all just me trawling through spreadsheets trying to spot patterns."
