Is this program for you?

Yes.

This program is for you if:

  • You have taken your first steps in marketing, analytics, or project management.

  • You can learn independently and deliver tasks to completion.

  • You want to test and use AI tools.

  • You're looking for concrete experience, not just theory.

  • You're interested in entrepreneurship, leadership, or want to be a co-founder of a real business.

  • You expect very intensive work and a fast pace of development.

  • You love solving problems and aren't afraid of challenges.

  • AI and technology fascinate you — you want to learn and experiment.

  • You have a proactive mindset and analytical thinking.

  • You know English at minimum C1 level (you read, write, understand business context).

  • You know the basics of Excel/Google Sheets.

  • You're characterized by communication skills, independence and efficient time management, openness to feedback, and a huge desire to develop.

No.

This program is not for you if:

  • You value clear, ready-made instructions and prefer work where you rarely act independently.

  • You're looking for work with fixed hours "from-to" and prefer tasks to be predetermined.

  • You've had no contact with digital marketing so far and don't feel the desire to change that.

  • You prefer a calm work pace and don't feel comfortable in a very dynamic environment.

  • You expect every step to be thoroughly explained and processes to be strictly structured.

  • You're not a fan of Google Sheets/Excel or delving into numbers and data.

  • You avoid intensive feedback and value more formal communication channels.

  • Technologies like AI are not in your area of interest and you don't plan to delve deeper into them.

  • You don't feel you have space for very high commitment to an intensive development program.

  • You know English, but don't feel comfortable enough to freely use it in a business context.

Case study

How we work every day

  1. 01

    Problem identification

    Having a client in the B2B financial ecosystem, we noticed that their target clients often don't understand the mechanisms of inflation, investing, or taxes.

  2. 02

    Solution proposal

    We proposed creating micro-applications and calculators as lead magnets that instantly allow visualizing different financial decisions and educate audiences.

  3. 03

    Results

    Thanks to our ideas, use of AI, and rapid prototyping of such tools, the client stood out in the market and built trust with their target audience.

  4. 04

    What does this mean?

    This is an example of our way of working: taking initiative, connecting the dots between technologies, and finding added value for clients.

This approach — innovative, fast, and always with concrete business results in mind — is the foundation of what you'll learn during the program.
