Creek & River Co. will host a free online seminar on Friday, September 4, titled 'How to Make Your Proposal Heard in the AI Era: Strategic Thinking for Creators,' aimed at creative professionals.

Have you ever struggled to explain the rationale behind your proposal to a client or during a pitch? Have you found it difficult to determine which research findings to prioritize, or felt that collected data isn't being effectively applied to your projects?

The success of a proposal isn't determined solely by the quality of the idea. What matters most is how you identify the challenge, gather relevant information, and communicate your rationale convincingly. To address this, Creek & River is hosting a seminar focused on enhancing proposal and planning skills.

This seminar will use real-world examples to clearly explain research methodologies, information gathering techniques, the effective use of small data sets, and the key factors that determine success in competitive pitches—all based on the workflow of web marketers. No specialized marketing knowledge is required. Whether you're new to planning or lack confidence in pitching, you'll gain practical frameworks you can apply to your work immediately.

- Workflow of web marketers

- Research mindset for planning and proposals
