The Intensive Course: AI Applied to International Marketing of EVOO is for you if

You produce excellent olive oil and want to sell it abroad, but you don't know which countries or which channels to tackle first.

You handle exports and need to identify importers and distributors, and prepare each approach in far less time.

You manage the brand and produce content for your website, social media, LinkedIn and email, and you want to multiply your output without losing judgement or your own voice.

You have your own brand and do almost everything yourself. You need a method to attract clients and follow up without a team behind you.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to use artificial intelligence?
No. We start from the beginning: the first topic explains what AI is, what it can do and what it cannot. It is designed for professionals in the olive oil sector who want to start using it with a clear method, without unnecessary jargon.
How much time do I need?
It is 20 academic hours. We recommend spreading them over 4 weeks, at around 5 hours a week, and you have 8 weeks of campus access to complete the assignment without pressure. It is a 100% online, flexible course on the ESAO Online Campus: there are no live sessions or fixed schedules, so you move forward when you can.
How is it different from a digital marketing course?
Everything is applied to EVOO: markets, buyers, positioning, content, lead generation, CRM and exports. The examples and exercises start from real situations in the olive oil sector, not from generic cases.
Will it be useful if I already have a brand on the market?
Yes. The final assignment is built around your own brand, so you will finish with a 90-day marketing and export plan you can apply to the project you already have. Along the way you will review your priority market, your buyer and their buying journey, your positioning and messaging, your content and campaign planning, and lead generation and follow-up in the CRM.
