P17 BYOD: L&D Strategies from the Marketing Playbook
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Tuesday, October 22
Jamaica A
Whether you're a learning professional or a marketer, you're competing for the same thing: attention. Without it, you can't get people to think and act in new ways. There's one big difference, though. Marketers have been much more successful. Savvy marketers understand that tapping into the psychology of emotions sparks engagement in today's hyper-distracted world. That's a mindset learning professionals need now more than ever before.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll get a hands-on introduction to the marketing tools and techniques you can use to enhance any L&D project or strategy. You'll look at real-world learning programs from a new perspective and learn how L&D can tap into the benefits of content marketing, campaigns, insightful analytics, and other proven marketing techniques. You'll also get started using these approaches yourself, including crafting a content strategy for your learning programs, building learning-focused drip campaigns, designing polished graphics to support your learning programs, building a personalized curation system, and more. By the end of this workshop, you'll have built valuable practical experience applying time-tested strategies marketers have been using for years to capture attention and spur people to action.
In this session, you will learn:
- How marketers speak to the lizard brain and why you should, too
- Techniques for building a custom content strategy for your organization, enabling you to rethink your learning programs
- Ways to create attention-grabbing, professional-quality marketing visuals and videos
- How to build automated, learning-focused drip campaigns based on specific timelines or learner actions
- What best-practice examples can keep you inspired well beyond the end of this workshop
