Generative AI tools are only as useful as the instructions you give them. Vague or poorly structured prompts produce generic outputs that require significant rework β defeating the efficiency gains AI is supposed to deliver. This module establishes a practical foundation for prompt design, focusing on the principles of clarity, specificity, and context that separate a prompt that works from one that wastes time. Through a case example that walks through the transformation of a weak prompt into a strong one, learners develop the critical eye needed to evaluate and improve their own inputs. By the end of this module, you will be able to apply foundational prompt-writing principles to SEO tasks and refine underperforming prompts to produce higher-quality AI outputs.

Learners practice diagnosing weak prompts and improving them for a specific marketing context. By the end of this module, you will be able to interpret the components of a generative AI image prompt and rewrite underperforming prompts to produce more targeted, campaign-relevant visual outputs.

Generating a compelling image is only the first step β getting it into a campaign requires optimization, compression, and upload-ready formatting that many marketers handle inconsistently or skip entirely. This module covers the full production workflow for A/B testing visuals: generating thumbnail variations with AI tools, compressing assets using TinyPNG for performance, and uploading them to a CMS in test-ready condition. The focus is on building a reliable, repeatable process rather than a one-off technique. By the end of this module, you will be able to produce, compress, and upload a set of AI-generated visual variants that meet the technical and creative requirements of a live A/B testing workflow.
