Brand Voice and Story: Sounding Like You

This is week 2 of the 4-week series, meeting live online via Zoom. Sessions are recorded so you can sign up late and access all weeks.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot the difference between generic messaging and distinct voice
  • Use AI to find patterns in your own writing
  • Define what you sound like—and what you never sound like
  • Build your brand story using a structure grounded in narrative research

About the Marketing Smart with AI Series

This four‑week interactive series has been designed for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to move beyond experimentation into actionable, time‑saving marketing workflows — without a tech degree or tons of extra time.

Each 60‑minute Zoom session includes live demos, guided exercises, and real business use cases, so you’re not just learning about AI… you’re using it, applying it, and building marketing systems you can keep using in your business.

By the end of this series, you will:

  • Have a documented customer profile based on how your customers make decisions
  • Own a brand voice guide you can use across all platforms—or hand to anyone who writes for you
  • Leave with a 90-day marketing plan built around your customer’s buying journey
  • Know how to create marketing content that’s more effective —and use AI to create it faster.
  • Access to recordings and session guides — so even if you miss a session, you won’t fall behind.

Join us 12-1pm via Zoom for dynamic, hands-on demos followed by open Q&A.
