The marketing school for everyone handed the job with no map

We’re Alt Marketing School. We teach the human, honest, actually-useful side of marketing, to the people figuring it out as they go.

Marketing rebel (n.)

a legendary f*cking human who shows up with curiosity and heart, asks the real questions, celebrates messy progress, and genuinely roots for everyone else in the room.

why we exist

I’m Fab, founder of Alt Marketing School. I’m an Italian girl from a small country town who learned early that if you want something to exist, you build it yourself.

Marketing kept getting handed to people (creatives, career-changers, the “good with words” person on the team) without anyone ever showing them how it actually works. I’d lived that. I was tired of marketing that felt icky, gatekept, and built for people who already had a seat at the table.

Five years ago, two years before our first cohort ever ran, I tried to crowdfund the idea. It failed. The only person who backed it was my now-husband. I was talking to the wrong audience, and I was early.

I didn’t stop. I bootstrapped it, took on freelance work to keep it alive, joined an accelerator to build the first cohort properly, and rebuilt the format around what learners actually needed instead of what I assumed they wanted.

Six years, real setbacks, and a lot of stubbornness later: Alt Marketing School exists to give new and early-stage marketers the map nobody gave me. Training that’s human, honest, and built by someone who knows exactly what it feels like to be handed the job with no instructions.

your marketing fairy godmother, Fab

Who we're here for

Our people are new and early-stage marketers: 0–3 years’ experience, career changers, accidental marketers, and anyone handed marketing responsibility without proper training.

They’re self-taught, scrappy, and used to figuring it out alone at 11pm. They don’t lack talent. They lack the map.

We’re also proudly part of a wider ecosystem: alumni and experienced members who lead the way and amplify our work, guest teachers and creators who share what they know, and partners who help fund seats and keep access open.

We teach practical, ethical marketing through our Certification, our All-Access Pass, live training, real feedback, and a genuinely supportive community.

Our courses and templates now live inside the All-Access Pass, so learning stays connected instead of scattered across one-off downloads.

Before joining, I was flying the marketing plane solo. Joining AMS was like instantly getting an entire crew and ending my decision fatigue. Before, I felt so alone in some of my marketing struggles. Since, I've met people from across the world who are in the same boat as me."

I did not expect to find community in an online marketing school. I especially did not expect to feel it this quickly. No question goes unanswered. It exists entirely online and still feels more real than a lot of spaces I have been in.

I love being part of the all-access pass and community. I can dip in and out of the (super valuable) content whenever I want, but there's also a blossoming community of marketing peeps to offer advice if I need it. And best of all, the content is always being updated.

I always struggled with finishing online courses, but now I know it can be SO MUCH FUN. This gave me a renewed sense of confidence, and a community of marketers who get it.

I love that you don't feel like just a number, it feels more personal. You're always looking for ways to add more value and you make yourself accessible for advice or help.

I really appreciated how warm and welcoming the community felt. From moment one, this was truly a community. It feels like less of a class and more of a workshop or study group, in the best way.

Affordable by design

We’re affordable by design, because we chose access over exclusivity on purpose.

Our community and training fees are set to cover the real costs of delivery: coaches, teachers, operations, and learner support. Growth and sustainability increasingly come from partners, sponsors, employer-funded training, and values-aligned companies who want to help fund the next generation of marketers.

Every partnership helps us pay teachers, fund scholarships and supported seats, and keep pricing accessible.
