From execution to influence. Trust, commercial rigour, and great work.
about this course
Moving from running the process to shaping the outcome is a different job, and most people learn it by trial and error on live accounts.
Over eight weeks, you’ll work through essential commercial conversations: pricing, scope, and what to do when it creeps. You’ll learn to read a client’s business well enough to know what keeps them up at night, navigate stakeholders who disagree with each other, and argue for ambitious work in a way that gets it bought.
You’ll leave able to hold a commercial conversation without flinching, protect a scope, and sell an idea you didn’t make.
Who’s it for?
For client-facing leads across creative, media, PR, design, and in-house teams.
