AI training client testimonial

Emma makes AI feel genuinely useful. The training sessions were practical, collaborative, and were tailored to address what I’m dealing with day to day — not hypotheticals. She really gets how busy people actually work, and that comes through in how she teaches.

Two Ways to Accelerate Your Growth

Strategic Marketing and Communications

I'm a marketing consultant and fractional CMO working with professional services and energy companies as well as ambitious creative agencies who want to make the most of the business opportunities that come their way.

AI Training and Keynote Speaking

Every firm has people who are keen, people who are curious or ambivalent, and people who'd rather not get involved at all. I help you set the direction, make it safe, and bring your team with you.

I’m Emma

With 25 years in journalism, marketing and communications, I've been writing stories since Ceefax was peak tech. I'm based in Aberdeen, Scotland, and am a CIM fellow, chartered marketer and a CPD-accredited AI trainer. I love an 80s cultural reference and my best ideas come during dog walks, wrangling jigsaws, and baking (sourdough game fast imPROVING).

"Emma's approach [to AI training] is non-techy. She shows how to get the most of AI tools without fuss and confusion. Highly recommended."
