Welcome to "Generative AI – Prompting Principles", this is an entry level training focusing on how to use generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude by creating effective prompts. This training focuses on basic to intermediate prompts that can yield immediate and effective results in the field of marketing.
We’ll start basics of prompting: getting set up with your own ChatGPT account and understanding the significant role of well-constructed questions to get the most useful responses. We then introduce more advanced frameworks and strategies such as Few Shot Prompting, Chain of Thought, Tree of Thought and Prompt Chaining. We’ll explain advanced ChatGPT functionality like Custom Instructions, Plugins and Advanced Data Analysis and explain how these capabilities can be applied to marketing outcomes.
An integral part of the training is the emphasis on viewing AI not as a replacement, but as a helpful co-pilot in your marketing ventures. The training concludes with a practical demonstration of crafting a variety of AI prompts including persona creation, message mapping and data analysis. While we’ll touch on some point solutions and other tools, this training will primarily focus on prompting within a chat tool like ChatGPT.
