Digital marketing with AI course overview

Digital marketing rarely sits in a single channel. This eight-course bundle connects strategy, content, social media, search, paid advertising, email and conversion rate optimisation in one learning pathway.

Each of the eight is a full course in its own right, with eight modules of its own, so you work through 64 modules rather than eight overviews. They are ordered to build on each other: the foundations and strategy first, then the content and channel skills, then the measurement and optimisation work that decides whether any of it pays.

It suits people moving into digital marketing, marketers who run one channel well and need the rest, and business owners running their own campaigns. There are no entry requirements, you study online at your own pace, and you have 12 months of access.

What you will learn

Across the eight courses, you will learn how to:

  • Plan a digital marketing strategy that connects search, social, email and paid advertising
  • Produce content with AI tools including ChatGPT, Jasper, Midjourney and Canva's Magic Write and Magic Design
  • Build a social media strategy with clear objectives, audiences and content pillars
  • Run Google Ads campaigns across Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube and Performance Max
  • Plan, launch and optimise Meta campaigns in Ads Manager, with tracking set up through the Meta Pixel
  • Write, automate and segment email campaigns, and grow a list worth sending to
  • Lift conversion rates with better landing pages, offers, copy, retargeting and A/B testing
  • Improve organic search results through keyword research, on-page and technical SEO, link building and local search
  • Measure performance in Google Analytics, Google Search Console and each platform's own reporting
  • Bring it together into campaigns you can plan, run, measure and report end to end

Tools you will work with

The eight courses name 20 tools between them, so you finish having worked in the platforms marketing teams use every day:

  • AI content: ChatGPT, Jasper, Midjourney, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI including Magic Write and Magic Design, plus Pictory and Lumen5 for video
  • Web pages: Durable, Framer and Leadpages
  • Paid search: Google Ads, including Performance Max campaigns
  • Paid social: Meta Ads Manager, Meta Business Suite and the Meta Pixel
  • Measurement: Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile

The tools are free to set up. Running ads on Google or Meta costs whatever you choose to spend, and you decide that separately. Tool line-ups change quickly, so the exact list may vary.

Is this course nationally recognised?

No. The Digital Marketing with AI short course is a non-accredited, industry-recognised bundle, and you receive a certificate of completion once you finish all eight courses. It is not a nationally recognised qualification.

If you need nationally recognised training in marketing, Upskilled delivers the following options:

Careers that use these digital marketing skills

Digital marketing roles are rarely single-channel. The same person is often expected to brief the content, run the Google Ads campaign, send the email and explain what the numbers mean afterwards. Jobs and Skills Australia reports that generative AI adoption is still early and varies across industries. This bundle gives learners practical experience using AI within broader digital marketing workflows, while keeping strategy and judgement with the marketer.

These skills suit roles such as:

  • Digital Marketing Coordinator
  • Digital Marketing Assistant
  • Paid Advertising Assistant
  • SEO Assistant
  • Email Marketing Coordinator
  • Content Creator or Marketing Support
  • AI-Enhanced Marketing Assistant

They apply across agencies, in-house marketing teams, e-commerce brands and startups. If you want a nationally recognised qualification behind those skills, the Diploma of Marketing and Communication or Diploma of Social Media Marketing with Artificial Intelligence (11426NAT) is the next step.

Course Modules

This short course is a bundle that includes eight in-depth short courses, each covering a key digital marketing specialty:

The starting point: how the whole digital marketing mix fits together before you specialise in any one channel.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Build a digital marketing strategy and read the trends shaping it
  • Plan and produce content marketing with AI support
  • Turn website visits into enquiries and sales
  • Set up email marketing and simple marketing automation
  • Understand where SEO and paid search each earn their place
  • Use social media as part of the mix rather than in isolation
  • Report on what worked using Google Analytics

Tools: Google Ads and Google Analytics.

A full AI content production course: plan it, write it, design it, voice it, film it, and build the page it lives on.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Write prompts that return accurate, on-brand results
  • Draft blogs, captions, ad copy and scripts with ChatGPT and Jasper
  • Generate images and graphics with Midjourney, DALL·E and Adobe Firefly
  • Design and repurpose assets in Canva using Magic Write and Magic Design
  • Produce voiceovers, narration and audio for your content
  • Turn scripts into short-form video with Pictory and Lumen5
  • Build landing pages with Durable, Framer and Leadpages

Tools: ChatGPT, Jasper, Midjourney, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI, Pictory, Lumen5, Durable, Framer and Leadpages.

The planning course that stops social media from being a series of last-minute posts.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Set objectives that tie social activity to business goals
  • Map your audience and the stages they move through
  • Choose the platforms worth your time and leave the rest
  • Define content pillars and a posting rhythm you can keep up
  • Plan and schedule a content calendar in advance
  • Decide where paid promotion should support organic work
  • Measure performance and report what it means

This course sets the direction the content and advertising courses then carry out.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Understand how the auction, targeting and bidding actually work
  • Build search campaigns around keywords and search intent
  • Run Shopping campaigns for products
  • Reach new audiences through Display
  • Advertise on YouTube
  • Use Performance Max and the other campaign types
  • Set budgets and choose bidding strategies that match the goal
  • Write ads and supply the assets each format needs
  • Read the results and optimise what you are spending

The final module pulls the campaign types back into a single plan you can run.

Tools: Google Ads, including Performance Max campaigns.

Paid advertising across Facebook and Instagram, built properly in Ads Manager rather than by boosting posts.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Set up Meta Ads Manager and Meta Business Suite
  • Put tracking in place with the Meta Pixel so results can be measured
  • Develop a campaign strategy around clear objectives
  • Structure campaigns, ad sets and budgets
  • Choose audiences, placements and creative formats
  • Create ads that earn attention and action
  • Manage the pages and assets behind the ads in Meta Business Suite
  • Measure campaign effectiveness and optimise performance

By the end, you can take a campaign from objective to measured result without leaving Ads Manager.

Tools: Meta Ads Manager, Meta Business Suite and the Meta Pixel.

The one channel you own outright: a complete email playbook, from first list to reliable revenue.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Plan campaigns that suit your audience and your offer
  • Build automations that keep working while you do something else
  • Set an email strategy tied to the customer journey
  • Grow a list with ethical, effective tactics
  • Write and design emails people actually open
  • Test subject lines, content and timing
  • Set up the automations worth having first, including welcome, abandoned cart and re-engagement
  • Segment a list so the right message reaches the right people
  • Measure opens, clicks and conversions, and improve them

Segmentation and personalisation run right through the course.

The course that makes the traffic you already have go further, instead of buying more.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Understand what conversion rate optimisation is and where it pays off
  • Develop a conversion strategy rather than a list of tweaks
  • Build web pages that hold attention and lead to action
  • Create lead magnets and offers people want
  • Write copy that persuades without overclaiming
  • Retarget visitors who left without converting
  • Nurture prospects by email until they are ready to buy
  • Run A/B tests and measure what actually changed
  • Map the journey from first click to conversion, not just the landing page

The same techniques apply whether the visitor arrived from an ad, a search result or a social post.

Organic search from the ground up, covering the technical, content and local sides of ranking.

Across its eight modules, you will learn to:

  • Understand how search engines crawl, index and rank pages
  • Research keywords and read search intent
  • Optimise page content, headings and metadata
  • Fix the technical basics, including site structure, speed and crawl errors
  • Build links ethically
  • Win local searches through Google Business Profile
  • Plan content that ranks and converts
  • Structure blog content around keyword research so it has a chance of ranking
  • Track rankings and traffic in Google Analytics and Search Console

Local search gets a module of its own, which matters if you sell to a city or a service area rather than the whole country.

Tools: Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile.
