Two cohorts a year. That's it.
The next one starts in March 2027, the one after in September.
Who it's for

You, probably.

  • You stumbled into marketing, and have been figuring it out by yourself ever since.
  • You're self-taught and scrappy, but your knowledge is scattered and you want the actual system.
  • You second-guess every strategy before you hit send, or quietly overthink the whole thing.
  • You're done with the icky, growth-at-all-costs playbook, and want to market in a way that feels like you.

If you nodded at even one, you're exactly who this is for. Not because you're behind. Because you've been doing this on your own for too long.

"It was the most engaging course I've taken, hands down. Before the course, I was changing my elevator pitch every other week. Now, I have a much clearer grasp on my business purpose."

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

I'm really busy. What's the time commitment?

Aside from your Tuesday session, you're looking at an extra 2 to 3 hours of work each week. You'll spend it on one marketing plan, built piece by piece, so the frameworks go straight into your own work.

What do I need to do to get my certificate?

Attend at least 75% of the live workshops and submit your draft marketing plan, a 10 to 12 page document covering the building blocks of a strong strategy. If you miss multiple sessions, a coach will check in and talk through your options.

What happens if I can't make a live session?

Every session is recorded. The magic does happen live though: you implement in real time, experiment with fellow students and get to know the teachers.

I'm new to marketing. Is this right for me?

If you're a beginner with a brand or company you'd like to work on, then yes. If you're looking to break into the industry, you'll get extra mentoring during the orientation call to help you make the most of the plan.

How many students are in each class?

Each cohort runs as two classes, a morning one and an afternoon one, with no more than 20 students in each. You pick the class that fits your day, and you get the same coaches and the same certificate either way. There's a private community space for feedback, help and accountability, plus optional office hours and co-working sessions with AMS graduates.

Do you offer scholarships?

Yes. There are 16 scholarship seats in every cohort of 40, through our marketing for good scholarship. Apply through the form, and our team reviews each request individually.

How long will I have access to the content?

For life. Revisit it any time you want a refresher.

What's the refund policy?

We honour full refunds up to 7 days after your payment date. After that, or once the course begins, we can always transfer your registration to another cohort. All other refunds are reviewed case by case.
