Claude for Marketers - the self-paced course

The self-paced course · Refined from 30 live workshops

Stop using Claude as a chatbot. Start running it as your complete marketing system.

Most marketers are getting maybe 20% of what Claude can do. This course closes the gap - so you finish with a real, working marketing system on your own machine, not just notes from another course.

The problem

You've tried Claude. It was useful. It wasn't transformative.

You've written prompts. Drafted intros. Pulled headlines. It saved you a bit of time - then you went back to doing most of the work yourself.

Here's what nobody told you: the version you've been using is the surface. The chatbot. Copy in, copy out, you do the formatting, the file-wrangling, the thinking-in-between.

The other 90% is Claude working with your actual files, on your actual computer, in your actual brand voice - reading briefs, pulling data from spreadsheets, building decks in your templates, and saving finished work to your desktop. End-to-end. With you approving the work, not typing every step.

You haven't seen that version yet because nobody's shown you how to set it up.

That's the whole job of this course.

The solution

The Claude for Marketers Masterclass

A complete, self-paced course that takes you from "I've used Claude as a chatbot" to "Claude is running as a marketing system on my machine."

Refined from 30 live in-person workshops with marketing teams - content, social, paid, video, brand, and agency-side. Not theory. Not "what AI is." Not a prompt library. A system. Yours. Running.

By the end, you'll have -

Who this is for

Honest about who should - and shouldn't - buy.

This masterclass is for you if you're -

  • A marketer who tried Claude, got average results, and quietly stopped using it
  • Tired of every Claude session starting from scratch, where nothing ever sticks
  • An in-house marketer carrying too much, with no budget to hire
  • Pretty sure you're getting a fraction of what Claude can actually do
  • Still using Claude as a chat window - and haven't yet seen what changes with folders, context, and connected tools
  • A solo marketer or small-team lead who wants to multiply output without adding headcount
  • Someone who learns by doing, and wants to build the thing, not just understand it

This masterclass isn't for you if you're -

  • After a prompt library - there are plenty, many free. This teaches a system, not shortcuts
  • Already deep in Claude Code or building custom MCP servers - you've moved past most of this
  • Hoping to watch passively - every module asks you to build something as you go
  • Needing it fixed by Friday - it's 10–12+ hours, not a 90-minute overview
  • At a company where IT has blocked Claude Desktop - worth checking before you buy

What you'll learn

Five pillars. One working system.

01

Get the mindset that protects your career

Why now - the honest version, not the hype. The shift to the "hybrid marketer," the 10/80/10 principle that compounds your skill instead of eroding it, and the clearest explanation you'll find of where Claude Chat ends and the real work begins.

02

Set Claude up to work the way you do

The foundation everything else sits on. Brief Claude like a sharp intern, build the folder structure and context files that make every output sound like you, and get the trust-and-safety basics right so you can let it act with confidence.

03

Build it once, use it forever

Stop re-explaining yourself every time you open Claude. Capture your processes as reusable Skills, connect your existing tools so Claude works across them, and run the Marketing Plugin to turn a single brief into competitor analyses, content plans, and campaigns.

04

Get real marketing work done, start to finish

The actual deliverables, demoed end-to-end: content in your voice, competitor briefs, reports and decks in Excel and PowerPoint, prospecting and outreach. Brief in, finished work out.

05

Put the repetitive stuff on autopilot

The most underused feature in Claude - and one of the most powerful. Set recurring work to run on a schedule (a Monday-morning briefing, a weekly competitor scan, content repurposing) so the system keeps working when you're not at your desk.

You get lifetime access to the course, and updates plus new modules (Claude Code and Claude Design are already on the way) run through the end of 2026, without paying again.

What you'll actually build

A few of the things marketers build in the course -

These are examples, not a checklist. Whatever corner of marketing you work in, the system bends to it - the final module is building a workflow around one of your real recurring tasks.

Content

A content engine in your voice

Stage a brief and a style anchor, point Claude at the folder, and get a long-form draft plus a social pack - edited in-session, exported to .docx, nothing published without your yes.

Research

Competitor analysis on demand

Drop a folder of PDFs and screenshots, get a structured competitive brief back. No connectors, no risk.

Reporting

Reports and decks, in minutes

Real Excel files with working formulas, and PowerPoint decks built from your data - the workflow a head of marketing watched replace four hours of her week.

Outreach

A prospecting & outreach workflow

Find lookalike companies and contacts, build distinct buyer personas, and draft a personalised email for each - straight to Gmail drafts, sending only on your approval.

Automation

A morning briefing that writes itself

A scheduled task that pulls from your tools overnight and lands a briefing in your folder before you start work.

Don't see your exact job here?

That's the point. Once you've built the system, you point it at whatever you do most - reporting, social, paid, brand, lifecycle, agency client work - and it adapts.

Testimonials

What marketers say after the live Claude for Marketers workshop

I came in not really sure what Claude could do beyond the odd caption or email draft. I left with three workflows I now use every week - a competitor brief, a content repurposing flow, and a reporting setup. Whatever corner of marketing you sit in, you'll walk away with things that genuinely fit how you work.
Nikki
Head of Marketing, SaaS
Robert is a genuinely brilliant teacher. He takes big, intimidating topics and breaks them into steps you can follow, then walks you from the idea right through to doing it yourself. I left having built my first reusable Skill - a brand-voice checker I now run everything through. I've sat through plenty of 'AI for marketers' sessions that left me more confused than when I arrived; this was the complete opposite.
Andrew
Content Marketing Manager, SaaS
What made it land is that Robert is a marketer first, not a tech evangelist. He understands the actual work we do, so every example was relevant and nothing felt like hype. By the end I trusted I was learning this from someone who's been in my shoes - and that's rare in the AI space.
Laura
Founder, Agency
I'd been treating Claude like a slightly better search engine. Robert showed me how to actually work with it properly - files, context, connected tools - and it just clicked. The first thing I rebuilt was my monthly performance report, which used to swallow half a day; now it takes minutes. I walked out confident using Cowork the way it's meant to be used, not just poking at a chat box and hoping.
Alison
Head of Marketing, Professional Services
The resources alone were worth the day. Cowork was brand new to me - working in folders and files isn't how most marketers think - and Robert gave us templates and a clear way to structure everything so Claude could support my real job. I went home, set it up the same night, and had my campaign-brief workflow running by the end of the week.
Adrian
Brand Manager, Agency

About Robert

Why I'm the one teaching this

Robert Gillespie speaking on a panel at a Chartered Institute of Marketing event

Hi, I'm Robert.

I've been a marketer for 25 years - leading teams, leading strategy, and learning what good actually looks like long before AI entered the picture.

For the last few years I've used a mix of AI tools to do that work, but in the last six months I've gone all in on Claude - teaching marketers how to use it properly at companies, at events, and one-on-one. In just the last few months I've run 30 in-person Claude for Marketers workshops with 300+ marketers, across B2B, consumer goods, professional services, and agencies.

I've been trusted to work in the AI-marketing space with teams at companies like Adobe and JP Morgan Chase, invited to deliver a keynote for the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and recently invited to write a weekly column on Marketing with AI for Inc. And almost 13,000 marketers read my Substack newsletter, Marketing with AI.

I'm not a developer or a researcher.

I'm a marketer who got obsessed with what Claude could actually do for our work - and that 25-year career is exactly why I can teach it without the tech overwhelm that kills most "AI for marketers" content. I know which marketing problems are worth pointing it at, and what a good output looks like when it comes back.

Every module here has been tested in front of real marketers. The bits that used to confuse people in a room are taught a bit slower now. The bits that landed are sharper. You're not the first person to take this course - you're just the first to take it on video.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

I'm not technical. Will I understand this?
Yes. No coding, no scripts. The only thing you install is Claude Desktop (one click). The most technical thing you'll do is create a few text files - every step is shown on screen.
I tried AI before and it didn't stick. Why is this different?
Because most "AI for marketers" tools are chatbots - type, get output, copy-paste, repeat. That doesn't compound. This teaches you to build a system once and use it every week: your context loaded, your skills installed, your scheduled tasks running.
I don't have time for another course.
It's self-paced. No cohort, no live calls to keep up with. Watch a module when you've got 20 minutes, build the thing it teaches, come back when you've got another 20.
When do I get access?
The cart opens Monday 8 June. Course access opens Monday 15 June at 1pm UK - you'll get an email with your login and a kick-off message.
What about the live session?
There's a live office-hours session in late July for all buyers. It's recorded, so you get full access even if you can't make it live.
How long do I get access - and will it stay up to date?
You get lifetime access to the course. On top of that, updates and new modules run through the end of 2026 - every time Anthropic ships a major Claude feature, the relevant module is updated or added (Claude Code and Claude Design are already on the way). You don't pay again.
Can my company expense this?
Yes. You'll get a receipt suitable for expense claims. Need a VAT invoice with your company details? Reply to your confirmation and I'll send one.
What's the difference between this and your in-person workshops?
The in-person workshop is a two-day format at £2,000 per person (£5,000+ for a private company session). The course is £349 - same knowledge base, refined further, plus content I never had time to cover live. The room gives you me in person and a fixed day. The course gives you the same learning at your own pace, with lifetime access and updates through 2026.
Is there a payment plan?
Not for the early-bird - that price is already the discount. I'm considering offering a two-payment option at the full £349 price after launch.
What about refunds?
All sales are final. I don't run paid ads, so anyone buying has been reading or following my work for a while. The course is built for people ready to do the work. If you're unsure it's right for you, email me at robert@robertgillespie.me before buying - read the "who it's not for" list above first, it's the fastest way to tell.
Cart open until 15 June (or the first 50 spots)

You've read this far - you probably already know if it's for you.

If you've felt the gap between "I've heard of Claude" and "Claude is running my marketing function," this is the bridge. 30 workshops' worth of teaching, refined into a self-paced course. Lifetime access. Nine bonuses. A live session. Updates through 2026.

After 15 June (or once the first 50 have sold) it's £349, and I won't roll the price back for individual buyers - the whole point of the early-bird is honouring the people who got in early.
