AI TRAINING BUILT ON REAL PR EXPERIENCE

Most AI training is delivered by people with a technology background who have never worked in PR. This training is different.

I'm Rob Phillimore, a working PR consultant and CPD-certified AI trainer. I use tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity every day in live campaigns for real clients. Everything taught in the workshops comes from how these tools actually perform in a PR context, including the places they fall short.

WHO THIS IS FOR

PR and communications professionals at any level, whether you're in-house or agency-side, a seasoned practitioner or newer to the field.

 

No jargon. No technical background needed. Just practical skills you use the next day.

If your team creates content, pitches media or manages communications, this training is relevant to your work.

Sessions are live and interactive throughout, with live demonstrations, hands-on exercises and a dedicated prompt lab where participants work through real PR tasks with guidance and feedback.

Online delivery via Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. In-person delivery at your office or chosen venue across the UK. International in-person sessions available on request.

Maximum 20 participants per session.

HOW THE SESSION WORKS

WHAT YOUR TEAM WILL WALK AWAY WITH

  • A working understanding of the AI tools most relevant to PR, including what each one does well and where they fall short.

  • The ability to write clear, effective prompts that consistently produce strong outputs for PR tasks across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

  • Practical skills for drafting press releases, email pitches, LinkedIn content and long-form copy faster, without sacrificing quality or brand voice.

  • Confidence to integrate AI into day-to-day workflows in a way that complements the human thinking that is the backbone of good PR.

THE BUSINESS CASE

PR teams spend a significant portion of each week on first drafts, pitch personalisation and routine content tasks.

 

Used well, AI tools can reduce that time substantially, freeing capacity for relationships, strategy and higher-value work.

A team of 20 saving an average of three hours per week on routine tasks reclaims roughly 3,000 hours a year. At typical in-house PR rates, that represents £75,000 to £120,000 in reclaimed capacity annually, set against a training investment that recovers itself inside the first two weeks.

Alex Evans

Rob provided clear, practical context for how AI can support my work, demonstrating both the strengths and limitations of AI.

 

His warm, approachable presentation style made it easy to ask questions and the session left me confident that there is much more to explore. Engaging Rob as an AI educator is a valuable investment.

Marian Padina

As a complete AI novice, I felt very reassured by the many tips on navigating AI platforms and prompting.

 

I would recommend Rob to anyone already using AI or about to begin using this amazing tool.

Jamie Deeks

I really enjoyed Rob's 'Introduction to AI' session. He was really helpful in highlighting the platforms that he found most reliable and I'm now looking forward to exploring AI further with the tools he has taught me to use.

In addition to AI for PR training, I provide PR consultancy services. This can be fractional PR Leadership, a strategic communications partner or campaign support. A number of clients engage me for both and find the two work well together.
