Use Marketing Strategies to Captivate and Persuade Your Audience

At first glance, marketing and L&D may seem like an unlikely combination. But on closer inspection, both fields share two core goals: getting people’s attention and influencing their behavior. Marketing involves captivating, persuading, and creating value—all of which are key to learning design. When done well, learning design grabs participants’ attention like a great marketing campaign and engages them emotionally and intellectually to make learning stick. In this innovative volume, marketing and L&D experts Bianca Baumann and Mike Taylor ask: How can L&D pros make learning programs more effective by thinking like expert marketers?

To answer that question, Bianca and Mike explore the potential of marketing-inspired L&D. You’ll discover:

  • What makes marketing so persuasive and how to apply it to learning

  • How to craft magnetic learner personas and journeys to pull people in

  • Tactics for writing and designing content to capture attention

  • Digital tools and automation strategies to multiply your effectiveness

  • Ways to measure and optimize for maximum results

Whether you’re new to learning design or a seasoned pro, this practical guide will transform how you create and deliver training. Get ready to boost engagement, improve retention, and deliver learning experiences that truly resonate.
