About the Event
A Month of Content in One Sitting: Social media posts, images and video with AI
You know you should be posting regularly. But it's 9 pm, the day got away from you again, and the blank screen is winning. This session fixes that.Join us for the September Bendigo AI Thinkspace - part two of our three-part "AI for Marketing Your Business" series - where we'll show you how to turn one sitting with AI into a month of social media content that actually sounds like you.Together we'll generate a bank of post ideas for your business, pick the winners, and draft them in your own voice - then watch AI create images and video from nothing but a written description, and learn how to brief it so the results look right for your brand.This is a hands-on session designed for beginners - no marketing background or technical skills needed. Bring your laptop and a free account with any AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot), and you'll leave with real posts drafted for your own business, ready to publish, plus practical prompts to take home.Come for one session or join us for the whole series - each month builds on the last, covering content creation, understanding your marketing numbers and turning enquiries into customers.As always, don't forget to bring along your ideas and challenges for us to discuss and showcase some innovative examples.
