In recent months, we’ve witnessed a rise in online community creation and participation—especially for marketers.
And we’re not surprised.
With all the noise on social media (and a major lack of in-person events), we are all craving that human connection with like-minded professionals. Private online communities provide a place “to connect and belong” and have “meaningful and respectful conversations,” noted GlobalWebIndex.
So, when we launched AI Academy for Marketers, we created a private, members-only Slack community to ensure our members feel supported along their educational journey. Within the community, members can easily connect with each other, as well as with Academy instructors and industry influencers. Members leverage the community to share best practices, resources, job listings, and to stay up-to-date on upcoming virtual events.

What To Expect from the Community
Once you become a member, the Slack community can benefit you in a number of ways.
Our team set up 10+ channels to encourage various types of conversation and networking. You can leverage these channels for:
- Networking opportunities with other like-minded professionals
- Open discussion regarding Academy course content and resources
- 24/7 access to a community of marketers piloting AI and sharing best practices, case studies and tips.
- Direct access to expert instructors
