Training Formats

What is the best training format for my team?

We believe there is no simple answer to this question, as each organization is different. However, we’ve conducted hundreds of trainings over the years and gathered experience on which formats work. You can select your format based on the setting, the length, or the depth of the session. We’re happy to talk to you to identify the right format for your team.

As a starting point, here are formats that we have found highly effective:

In-Person

Our workshops were initially designed to work by getting the trainers and trainees in a room together. Our experts would hold the session in your offices or a chosen location. This is ideal for longer sessions or bigger teams.

Remote

We’ve also evolved most training formats to work remotely. In keeping with the new normal, we’re also used to delivering workshops including interactive elements and practical portions remotely.

Lunch & Learn Sessions

Workshops can be tailored in length based on the needs of your organization. Lunch & Learn sessions are good for executives or for teams that need a high-level view on a topic.

Half-day
Training

These workshops are better suited for areas where theory and practice need to go hand in hand. Teams usually learn a concept and apply it immediately to their brands.

Workshop
Series

For true change management, organizations often request us for workshop series. Here we can cover both external and internal topics. For example, your current team setup and identifying the ideal org structure, etc.

Senior Management Sessions

We often tailor digital topics for senior leadership by looking at high-level fundamentals. Plus, we coach senior leaders on what ideal digital teams look like and which KPIs need to be reviewed to truly measure performance.

Brand Manager Workshops

For workshops with brand managers, we go over both theoretical principles and best-in-class applications. Managers can understand how to communicate with their teams and agencies to have better control over marketing goals.

Adjacent
Functions

Organizations need to have an integrated understanding of marketing to effectively drive change. Therefore, we also train non-marketers on digital marketing essentials. For instance, Controllers can benefit from understanding KPIs. Traditional sales teams can benefit from understanding how digital channels affect the consumer journey and conversion.
