This freebie isn’t one of mine, but it’s SO valuable I just had to share it with you. This is the FREE Growth Strategy Playbook from Growclass.

It’s incredibly thorough, and even if you aren’t a Growth Marketer, there is a lot you can learn from here.

It includes:
➡️ A cheat sheet on “What is growth marketing?”
➡️ How to build a growth strategy
➡️ A growth strategy template
➡️ … and more!

• OUR FIRST COURSE REVIEW! 🎉

  • Here’s the first post about AI Boost for Professional Communicators and Marketers, a course I took and evaluated for you! You’ll see the full report card and my review in this post.

  • This course is a deep dive into leveraging AI to enhance marketing and communication workflows. It combines up-to-date content, interactive learning, and 1:1 sessions with the instructor to equip professionals with the skills to apply AI tools effectively. I gave it an A because I felt it was super useful, and I walked away with many resources. I built two GPTs as a result of this course!

  • Check it out here, and if you’re interested, I got you a discount code! Use SHIVANI15 for 15% off the price of the course.

• Are you in Toronto on February 16th? I’m speaking at an event at Creator Club, all about learnshiv! Grab tickers here to hear from some inspiring young leaders and myself.

• Here are some links to last week’s videos that reviewed parts 1 and 2 of my free content marketing plan:

  • Part 1

  • Part 2

One of my absolute favourite people to follow on LinkedIn is Lashay Lewis. She posts such actionable content every day about BOFU content marketing. I save almost every post from her because it’s always content I can implement immediately.

Some of her recent posts were about:

• Seven elements of BOFU content

• How to help SaaS teams find alignment

• How to improve SEO for SaaS content teams

Give her a follow, and you won’t regret it!

Thanks for reading the second newsletter! Next week, we will finish posting deep dives into the content plan (hopefully reels and blog posts) in collaboration with Skill Series.

I also hope to have some reels done where I dive into the AI Boost course, particularly reviewing it in general, its report card, and some takeaways!

Have a great week, and stay curious,

Shiv 💁🏽‍♀️
