    Why learn brand voice when AI can do it?

    Writing skills come first

    Learning to create a distinct voice, and modulate that voice to create a dynamic user experience, is a crucial skill. Even when using AI to modulate tones, content designers need a breadth of knowledge to get exactly what they need. Those skills come first – and that’s what we teach.
