3-DAY TRAINING FOR MARKETING NEWBIES

From Aesthetics to Analytics:

A 3-Day Mentoring Series to Transform Your Raw Marketing Talent into ROI-Driven, Values-Anchored Assets for Your Business

September 14 - 16, 2026
02:00PM - 05:00 PM, PHT

Is this your painpoint, too?

You hired a brilliant Gen Z marketer. They know the trends, they make beautiful graphics, and they understand social media better than anyone in the room.

But despite the aesthetic feeds and the increasing views,

you are left asking: Where are the sales?! How does this align with our company’s targets?!

When digital natives operate without a strategic business foundation, they tend to work on fleeting metrics- chasing the algorithm without understanding the bottom line. It’s not their fault; they just haven’t been shown the bridge between creativity and commerce.

Welcome to A2A!

A Marketing Mentorship Series for Gen Zs. Running from September 14 to 16, this intensive 3-day program serves as your company’s outsourced Senior Marketing Director and Lead Trainer for your newbies.

This training will serve as the “adapter” to connect your boardroom and your digital natives. We will take your team’s raw, aesthetic creativity and ground it in solid, revenue-generating business fundamentals.

They won’t just listen to theory- they will return to the office with a customized marketing engine built specifically for your brand!

What Your Team Will Learn

Precision Targeting: We will move them past targeting a single generic "user" to mapping out your entire buying audience.
The Conversion System: We are now way past the traditional marketing funnel! We will teach them to build a modern "Hook, Handshake, and Hype" system that turns casual scrollers into repeat buyers and loyal advocates.
Smart Software Auditing: Stop bleeding money on random software subscriptions. Your team will learn a strict 4-point checklist to evaluate which marketing and AI tools are just shiny new objects, and which ones are actually necessary for your business.
Business Analytics: We will mute the confusing digital noise and teach them the real "Vital Signs" of healthy and sustainable marketing. They will learn to compute key metrics and present their 1-page monthly reports that clearly connect with business expectations.

Her patience and professionalism are highly commendable, especially during our seminar where we encountered several on-the-spot changes. Despite these challenges, she was able to adapt quickly and handle the situation with grace, showing her flexibility and dedication as a speaker.

What stood out most was her ability to deliver meaningful and relevant insights even with the limited time given. She ensured that the participants not only understood but also absorbed the key points of her talk. Her clarity, confidence, and engaging delivery made the session both informative and impactful.

Overall, Ma’am Gretchen is an excellent speaker.
She has the remarkable ability to connect with her audience while ensuring that her message is clear and valuable. Working with her was a privilege, and I would gladly recommend her to any future event or engagement.

I can easily apply all the concepts that I learn from this. As a newbie in digital marketing, I appreciate how the worksheets provided me with a starting point for Tito Steef. I will always keep this in mind: P.E.R.A.: Plan-Execute-Review-Assign. If there are future deep dive classes, I will sign up again!

You guys displayed remarkable patience in conversing with us, listening to our stories on what we’re doing and how we’re doing things in line with our spiritual family’s mission of making disciples. It was a delight how the baselining process was done.

You guys managed the project extremely well - handled the work breakdown systematically and efficiently phased things in a workable timeline.

And, I appreciate so much the time given for user experience and feedback. And making yourselves available for tech support as we move towards adoption of the Mission Machine (thank you coining this as well!) for use by our “feasters” in the Feast Ortigas District of the Light of Jesus Family community.

On behalf of our District Head - Bro Obet Cabrillas, thank you and great job GSB!
Truly you are GSB - God’s Special Blessing to our community!
God bless all of you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was both a privilege and a pleasure partnering with Gretchen Veran of Get Smarter and Better (GSB) during our KLIK Mobile Education (KLIKme) Pilot Program in 2023-2025. As KLIKme serves out-of-school youth and adults in 9 partner-communities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, guiding our learners to successfully complete the DepEd ALS Program is only an interim goal. They need to start earning soonest. So we were delighted to discover GSB! Through the 12-session online course on Digital Marketing that Gretchen designed for KLIKme, over 50 of our learners gained immediate practice with tools they could apply to their own products and services or offer to potential clients.

Beyond providing skills training, however, Gretchen's sessions offered our learners a lot more. Each weeknight class provided fun interaction, a helpful sounding board for questions, and genuinely personal concern and encouragement in an area that was surely intimidating to former HS dropouts who never dreamed they could use their gadgets to create something useful -- and possibly earn from it! For this, we at KLIKme are truly grateful to Gretchen and GSB. Your service is clearly not just about sharing digital-age knowhow. It is about extending hope. Till our next collaboration!
