Benefits and structure

In the updated 2026 course, you’ll learn creative performance as one integrated system — from understanding people and the market to insights, hypotheses, creative, media, testing, and the next iteration. You’ll learn how to combine old-school advertising, strategy, and design principles with today’s creative performance practice: platforms, algorithms, AI, and the changing nature of consumer attention.

After the course, you’ll be able to independently research the market, uncover insights, develop a strategy, create concepts, plan media, manage production, launch campaigns, evaluate progress, and optimize your actions.

The course will culminate in a hands-on project with a real client and a real budget, helping you put everything you’ve learned into practice.

Is this course for me?

The course is for those who feel that understanding just one side of marketing is no longer enough — for those who want to see how strategy, creative, media, and data come together; how to turn an idea into a testable hypothesis; and how to use results to understand not only what worked, but why it worked and what to do next.

The Creative Performance course is suitable for individuals who:

  • have a dull product that needs to be marketed effectively in a competitive market;
  • need to establish communication strategies from the ground up;
  • must oversee the entire process of strategy, creation, production, media and optimization.
  • find themselves having to generate insights, messages, scenarios or ideas when their team falls short;
  • aspire to function like an orchestra as an individual;
  • are interested in utilising artificial intelligence (AI);
  • come from a management background: whether as project managers, brand managers or marketing managers;
  • have self-studied and now wish to organise their knowledge and apply it practically.
