Turn Your Marketers into Champions with New Modern Marketing Training Solutions from General Assembly

General Assembly
August 14, 2024

Marketing is one of the most agile fields in business. Is your team prepared? With our new upskilling portfolio of marketing training solutions, taught by real-world practitioners, they will be. Give your marketing team the edge to cut through today’s noisy digital environment with must-have modern marketing skills and tools. 

The Launch of a New Era in Marketing Training

We’re excited to launch a portfolio of marketing training solutions to give every modern marketer the skills and frameworks required to build innovative marketing strategies that drive results. Starting with a solid foundation of digital skills, modern marketers trained by General Assembly will be able to harness creativity, execute seamlessly, and use their mastery of data analysis to draw conclusions and make optimizations. 

Because in a rapidly evolving digital world, marketers must maintain constant know-how on the latest tools and trends to succeed in their roles. But it’s not just about staying on top of emerging technology—it’s about collecting, analyzing, and making sense of data in order to drive results. And as AI is integrated into everyday workflows, enterprises of all kinds have the opportunity to not just upskill—but completely uplevel their marketing teams’ output and effectiveness. 

If you think your marketing team is fine maintaining the status quo, consider these points: 

Marketers need training opportunities to stay ahead of the curve

60.7% of CMOs/marketing directors aren’t being given the chance by their employer to upskill. 50.2% of middle management and 38.6% of junior marketers don’t currently have upskill opportunities (Marketing Week). 

Data analysis isn’t just for technical roles

36.9% of marketers report that a lack of data and analytics skills is the top skills gap in their department (Marketing Week)

AI is already having an impact

Marketing leaders report that due to the use of AI, they’re seeing a 5.1% increase in sales productivity, a 6.1% increase in customer satisfaction, and a 7% decrease in marketing overhead costs (The CMO Survey).

General Assembly Equips Modern Marketers with Cutting-Edge Skills to Drive Innovation and Bottom-Line Results

With tools, tips and tricks, and tech available just a click away, “marketing” has never been easier…right? Wrong.

With a flooded competitive market and endless noise, marketers must break through the buzz with a message that resonates—over and over again. And with technology rapidly changing the way creative and content is developed, marketers must know, understand, and leverage AI in smart, savvy ways for maximum efficiency.
