Join our principal Ida Cheinman for this upcoming ACEC National online class on how to create a marketing differentiation for your firm.

As the lines between “human” and “artificial,” “real” and “fake” are getting more and more blurry, trust, people and relationships have come back to the forefront.

Your competitive advantage will not come from competing with AI to deliver more, faster. It will come from differentiating on what AI cannot do: building trust and relationships, humanizing your brand and communications, and creating emotional connections with those your firm wants to attract. Because even in the B2B environment, we’re still doing business with humans.

The program will provide practical, actionable insights and a new toolkit (and am******on) you can take back to your firm. You are guaranteed to walk away inspired and with a practical roadmap to get started!
