Overview

“AI Image & Video Generation for Marketing Teams” is designed for roles such as Marketing managers and heads of marketing, Performance and digital marketing specialists and Product and brand managers and shows step by step how to use AI Image & Video Generation productively, safely and transparently in Marketing – from the fundamentals to advanced workflows.

AI image and video generators are changing how visuals are produced for campaigns, presentations, product pages and training materials. In this hands-on day you will get to know the key tools, including Midjourney, image generation in ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly and Runway, and understand how they differ in style, handling, licensing terms and purpose. You will practise structured prompting for subject, composition, lighting and style, and learn to vary, edit and adapt results for different formats.

Using these images responsibly matters just as much as creating them. You will clarify which usage rights apply to AI-generated content, where the risks lie regarding personality rights, trade marks and copyright, and when labelling is advisable or required. You will also develop methods to keep visual language and corporate design consistent across many assets, for example with style references and prompt templates. Finally, you will set up a repeatable workflow from idea through approval to publication.

Marketing teams now cover more channels, audiences and formats than ever, often on the same budget. Generative AI is fundamentally changing the work: AI assistants support market research, persona development and positioning, draft campaign concepts, landing page copy and ad variants and analyse campaign data. AI agents and automation take over routines such as adapting content for different channels, reporting or enriching leads. The value does not come from mass production but from faster testing, better personalisation and more time for strategy and creativity. Clear brand guidelines as the foundation for prompts, careful handling of customer data and editorial review keep content accurate, legally sound and on brand.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Practical scenarios from your field

Audiences and personas

An AI assistant condenses market studies, customer feedback and sales notes into personas with needs, objections and buying criteria, then derives key messages and value propositions for campaigns.

Campaign concepts

From the brief, goals and budget, AI develops several campaign ideas with a central idea, channel mix, messages and KPIs, which the team evaluates, combines and refines.

Ad and copy variants

AI creates variants of headlines, ad copy, subject lines and calls to action within brand guidelines and prepares A/B tests whose results are then analysed.

Campaign reporting analysis

Exports from ad platforms, web analytics and CRM are combined, anomalies explained and recommendations drafted, so reporting meetings can focus on decisions rather than data gathering.

Competitor monitoring

AI summarises publicly available information on competitors, such as website messaging, product launches and pricing communication, and highlights differences from your own positioning.

Marketing automation

Workflows enrich new leads, segment contacts, draft personalised nurture emails and notify sales as soon as a lead meets defined qualification criteria.

Prerequisites

Design experience is helpful but not required. You should have a basic familiarity with digital image formats and your organisation’s corporate design. You work in marketing or at an agency and understand the basics of campaign planning and digital channels.

Technical requirements

You will need a laptop with an up-to-date browser. Access to at least one image generator such as ChatGPT, Midjourney or Adobe Firefly is ideal; trial access is provided for selected exercises.

Data protection & compliance

Marketing use of AI must comply with the GDPR and ePrivacy rules on tracking, consent and personalisation; customer data belongs only in approved tools. Unfair competition law applies to advertising claims, copyright and trademark law to generated content, and the EU AI Act's transparency duties to AI-generated media.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use AI-generated images commercially?

That depends mainly on the provider’s terms of use and your subscription plan. In addition, purely AI-generated content generally does not enjoy copyright protection under German and most European law, which limits exclusivity. On the course you learn to check licensing terms, recognise risks around trade marks and real people, and document how assets were created.

How do I achieve a consistent look for my brand?

Consistency comes from a system: you translate your corporate design into fixed prompt components, use style and subject references, and define colours, framing and lighting moods as binding rules. A review step and a library of approved reference images then ensure that several people in the team can produce coherent results.

Do I have to label AI-generated images and videos?

The EU AI Act sets out transparency obligations, particularly for deepfakes, meaning realistic depictions of people, places or events. Platform rules and advertising standards also apply. On the course you clarify when labelling is mandatory, when it is sensible on a voluntary basis and how to establish a consistent practice across your organisation.

How do we keep AI-generated content on brand?

Start with well-documented brand guidelines covering tone of voice, sample copy and banned terms, and provide them as context to AI assistants. Combined with reusable prompt templates and editorial approval, this produces consistent copy. In the course we build such templates together for your channels.

Who owns the rights to AI-generated content?

Purely machine-generated content is generally not protected by copyright in many jurisdictions, including Germany, whereas works substantially shaped by people can be. You also need to check that outputs do not infringe third-party rights such as trademarks or well-known imagery. We discuss practical rules for approval and labelling.

How much does “AI Image & Video Generation for Marketing Teams” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 6 hours of live training with a trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. For every location we suggest a date roughly four weeks ahead. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and get back to you within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.

Can the course be tailored to our team?

Yes. Tailor-made courses cost approx. €4,500 more, depending on the topic and by arrangement. We agree content, examples and exercises with you in advance.
