Use Marketing Strategies to Captivate and Persuade Your Audience
At first glance, marketing and L&D may seem like an unlikely combination. But on closer inspection, both fields share two core goals: getting people's attention and influencing their behaviour. Marketing involves captivating, persuading, and creating valueβall of which are key to learning design. When done well, learning design grabs participants' attention like a great marketing campaign and engages them emotionally and intellectually to make learning stick. In this innovative volume, marketing and L&D experts Bianca Baumann and Mike Taylor ask: How can L&D pros make learning programmes more effective by thinking like expert marketers?
To answer that question, Baumann and Taylor explore the potential of marketing-inspired L&D. You'll discover:
- What makes marketing so persuasive and how to apply it to learning
- How to craft magnetic learner personas and journeys to pull people in
- Tactics for writing and designing content to capture attention
- Digital tools and automation strategies to multiply your effectiveness
- Ways to measure and optimise for maximum results
Whether you're new to learning design or a seasoned pro, this practical guide will transform how you create and deliver training. Get ready to boost engagement, improve retention, and deliver learning experiences that truly resonate.
