What's it all about?

An internal pilot program designed to demystify "vibecoding" and rapid AI prototyping. The goal was to move participants from theoretical AI knowledge to building functional, working prototypes in a high-energy hackathon environment.

The Challenge:To design a narrative and curriculum that felt accessible yet technically empowering, ensuring participants didn't just "learn" about AI, but felt confident enough to build with it immediately.

The Solution:

Narrative & Curriculum Design: Developed the "Vibe Lab" story and educational journey, focusing on intuitive AI prompting and rapid prototyping workflows.
Operational Architecture: Wrote the program proposal (timeline, budget, and curriculum) and managed the end-to-end rollout strategy for the pilot.
Agile Measurement: Designed a rigorous feedback loop to measure participant sentiment and technical confidence in real-time, allowing for rapid iteration between sessions.

“Agnes, you should create content!”

After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try...

But there was a huge problem

113 posts later, I realised it was sporadic. I had no clear strategy and often ran out of ideas. How did people figure it out? I needed clarity, but what should I do?

I reached out to a Social Media Manager in my network to exchange services.

But there was another problem...

I reached out to a video editor in my network. We collaborated—creating a case study together.

Growth was slow.

I saw that short-form video was taking off and I wasn't leveraging the opportunity...

Cross-functional collaboration

Video scripting & recording

Hook optimization

One of my videos caught the attention of...

Ali Abdaal (IG: 976K followers)

He reposted my video on his Instagram stories.

We also experimented with a lead magnet and funnelling traffic to an email newsletter for further nurturing...

“I wonder if creating content on LinkedIn is similar to Instagram...”

Well... there's only one way to find out!

I got my hands dirty. But...

68 posts later, it was a snooze fest. Impressions were low, engagement was a sad single-digit. It was basically crickets.

I did get lucky, though!

Chris Do (LI: 562K followers)

He left a comment on my post which pushed my post onto his followers' feed.

Despite getting some followers and engagement from Chris' exposure, it didn't do much and was not a replicable strategy.

So I sat down and analysed the data.

Here's what I found

Revising my content strategy

Tracking analytics

I decided to share my experience at my last job.

Topic: UI/UX design & product-market fit

Target audience: Software builders & aspiring founders

Followers & connections were friends from University.

Most were inactive on LinkedIn.

Or they couldn't relate to what I was posting about.

I started getting questions and requests for calls.

Eventually, I offered my time on an hourly basis.

My posts also caught the attention of...

I got to have coffee with them.

“It never ceases to amaze me what digital marketing can do. I've got to meet amazing people with shared interests and inspiring stories. This experience has solidified my passion for marketing.”
