Abstract

This exploratory study examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing creativity and operational efficiency in marketing among Master’s-level working students with business management backgrounds at Erasmus campuses in Paris and Lyon. Through a one-day intensive course focusing on practical AI applications in marketing, the research evaluates participants’ exposure to AI technologies and their perceived effectiveness. Qualitative analysis of post-training feedback from 42 participants revealed that 95% could successfully integrate AI tools into their current professional roles, demonstrating significant improvements in three key learning domains: cognitive understanding (knowledge acquisition), psychomotor skills (practical application), and affective responses (attitudes and motivation). Participants reported increased confidence in employing AI technologies to develop creative marketing strategies, streamline decision-making processes, and enhance customer engagement initiatives. The study highlights the critical importance of incorporating AI education within business curricula, particularly in international programs like Erasmus that cater to career-oriented students seeking both academic advancement and workplace relevance. Findings suggest that targeted, short-duration AI training programs can substantially contribute to developing AI literacy and practical competence among future marketing professionals, while also identifying key challenges in tool adoption and ethical considerations that require attention in pedagogical approaches.
