AI and Digital Marketing talks, without the jargon

When people hear the words "artificial intelligence", they either switch off or start worrying about their job. I get it. The first time I came across ChatGPT was on TikTok, and I had no idea what I was looking at either.

So that's how I talk about it. No buzzwords, no slides full of theory. I show real tools, real examples and the small changes a business can make on the Monday morning after the event. Here at Tuminds we train businesses every week, so the examples come from actual客 work, not a textbook.

Talks can be a 20 minute keynote, an hour with questions, or a half-day interactive session where everyone brings a laptop and leaves having actually built something. Tip: tell me who is in the room and what they're struggling with, and I'll shape the content around that.

  • Keynotes and after-dinner talks for conferences and awards nights
  • Breakfast briefings and network meetings (Chambers, BIDs, membership groups)
  • Hands-on workshops where delegates use the tools during the session
  • Panel appearances and Q&A sessions on AI, social media and digital marketing
  • In-person across Scotland and the UK, or online for remote audiences

Tell me about your event and I'll tell you what I can do with it.

Send me the date, the audience and roughly how long you need, and we'll take it from there.
