Business Breakthrough University: Next-Gen Marketer Training Program
Aoba-BBT, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently announced that its 'Next-Gen Marketer Training Program with AI Marketing Strategy Camp' has become eligible for the government's specific general education training grant. With this initiative, participants can receive up to 50% of the course fees back, easing the financial burden while acquiring essential skills.
Overview and Target Audience
This program specifically caters to mid-sized business owners and practitioners involved in marketing or DX promotion, as well as those responsible for employee training. It addresses the common challenges faced today:
- - Uncertainty on how to effectively utilize generative AI for business expansion
- - Lack of strategic perspective in marketing activities, reducing AI implementation to mere technicalities

Value Provided by the Program

- - Participants will engage with generative AI tools like ChatGPT, producing real-world outputs such as executive summaries, sales promotional brochures, catchphrases, key visuals, and rough drafts for TV and web videos.
- - They can revisit lectures whenever they hit a wall in their thought processes and engage in discussions with peers and instructors, refining their outputs.
- - The program is designed to foster the next-generation marketer capable of investigative thinking, brainstorming, and mobilizing their surroundings, all sparked by real workplace challenges.
