Live workshops and on-demand courses for marketers

Learn by doing. Leave with AI workflows that work on your marketing.

Keeping up with AI shouldn’t be a second job, or one you work out alone. At CXL you build AI marketing workflows for your customers and channels in live online workshops, with instructors and other marketers around you when you get stuck.

For marketers who already use ChatGPT, Claude or Codex and want them doing real work.

What students say after building with us

Derek Miller
Built on a live GTM campaign at work

“I completed my campaign engine setup for a small c real-world GTM campaign that I was working on for my job this week and presented it to my boss today… and he loved it!”

Co-Founder, Feral MKT

“That alone used to take me a whole day working in AI-assisted mode (more days without AI), since I had to write all the copy from scratch because I didn’t like what Claude used to give me. This time it took me about an hour.”

Fractional CMO & GTM Strategist

“I fixed the site and Crunchbase last week and reran Build 1 this morning with the same questions, tools and judge. Accuracy went from 53% to 71%, and wrong answers went from three to none.”

Senior copywriter, elective healthcare agency

“I was really impressed with how it handled the copy, including adding a medical compliance check due to the industry I work in … I loved all of the quality checks and scoring, since I usually do that type of QA work manually.”

Tegan Heneke
Freelance Marketing Executive

“Currently I’m pulling reports from GA4, SourceWhale and Linkedin manually and giving it to Claude to create a dashboard for me so this (if I can get LinkedIn connected) will change that (Yay!)”

E-commerce & Brand Strategist

“I built a visual plugin on top of your Marketing Brain, two actually: Visual Brain for the brand’s visual direction and Product Visual for product image storyboards … I put my own brand through it and it already gives me something I can work with.”

Marketing Brain

Attallah Wilson
Attallah Wilson
Marketing Communications Manager, TXI

“Connecting my systems made the biggest difference. Pulling deals straight from our HubSpot CRM, plus Semrush data on our content, gave the ICP and the messaging real evidence instead of guesses.”

Director of Messaging

“Being able to identify valuable work to be done, build a workflow/agent to do it effectively and consistently, and deploy it across my team will be a skill that sets my team and I apart within the org.”

Workflows

Murillo’s marketing brain demo
Murillo
Marketing agency for health clinics

Ran the brand book through it: every claim about the buyer came back tagged hypothesis or blank.

Marketing Brain

Ekaterina Speckbacher
Growth Marketing Manager

“I built it on my own data, so I had to hide them. It worked pretty smoothly. I’m lucky that we use HubSpot for everything, so the integration was straightforward.”

Reporting agent

Shekhar Vaidya
Head of Digital Marketing

“Fix the brand’s own pages first (one sentence on one page is wrong on every tool), then earn the unbranded recommendations.”

Ignacio Basello
Content Strategist

“This course got me to take writing instructions seriously and tailor them to how I work. Before, I was mostly just chatting with AI. Now I’m trying to build actual workflows.”

Workflows

Enmanuel Saavedra
Took the personal OS workshop

“Months ago, I took the workshop of the second brain (personal OS) at CXL in the past and helped to all my team to adopt it as well. It was a game changer.”

Earlier workshop

Maddy L
B2B ABM marketer, SaaS

“A challenge that we have internally: if somebody asked me for a campaign I ran three years ago … we do not have a single source of truth/location to satisfy that question … I like that this brief could help with our internal challenge”

“Biggest learning: the review forced me to stop claiming things I hadn’t proven yet.”

ChatGPT answers questions. Here you build a system.

You build it on your own customers and channels, a practitioner reviews it, and you demo it working before it counts.

2. Make it yoursBetween sessions you adapt it to your own customers, channels and tools.
3. Get help when it breaksInstructors and other marketers in the cohort community help you fix what breaks, until it runs on your own work.
