AMA Across Iowa - Storm Lake Luncheon

AMA Across Iowa is a new initiative sparked by community feedback. We’re hitting the road to connect with marketers in local communities, share fresh insights, and spark new conversations. Whether you're just starting on your marketing career path, experienced marketer, or want to be part of a larger team, this series is your opportunity to rediscover what connects us. 

Presentation: Boost Your Marketing with Generative AI Tools

Whether you’re running a small business, managing marketing with a lean team, or just getting started in your career, generative AI tools like ChatGPT can be game changers. This session explores how to use AI to save time, boost creativity, and get more done – without needing a big budget or technical background. You’ll learn what generative AI is (and how it differs from traditional AI), and how it can support real-world marketing needs like content creation, campaign development, and customer engagement. We'll also address common concerns around accuracy, privacy, and copyright. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how AI fits into modern marketing and practical ways to start using it – no matter your role or experience level. Whether you're building a brand, growing a business, or preparing for your next step, this session will help you unlock new possibilities with generative AI.
