The NextGen Marketer Series
Backed by over 50 years of marketing education, ADMA courses blend proven fundamentals with practical AI skills you can use right away.
Marketing has entered a new era. The industry is changing fast. We need to equip marketers for what comes next.
AI has fundamentally changed how we work. Tasks that once took hours – analysing data, creating content, testing variations – can now be automated.
But technology alone won’t make marketing more effective.
This new era calls for a new kind of marketer. A well-rounded professional who’s fluent in marketing fundamentals, works confidently with modern tools and uses data to help guide every decision.
That's where the NextGen Marketer series comes in.


Marketing training built to meet industry needs
We asked hundreds of marketing leaders which capabilities matter most in this new climate. The message was clear. Marketers must be able to:
-
Connect marketing activity directly to business goals
-
Analyse marketing data and turn insights into strategic action
-
Deliver integrated campaigns across complex customer journeys
-
Apply AI and emerging technologies to streamline workflows and improve outcomes
So ADMA designed a series of courses specifically to meet these needs.
