01 / YOUR TRAINER
Hi, I’m Garth.
I’m a Cape Town based creative director, AI consultant and trainer. I’ve spent my career developing ideas and making work for brands, and now I help creative teams explore how AI can make their thinking, craft and day-to-day work stronger.
Over the past two years, I’ve trained close to 800 people. I’ve worked with teams and brands including Retroviral, Joe Public, King Price, Dis-Chem, The Foschini Group, Bootlegger, Tradeway and others. Some of that work earned Cannes Lions virality attention through Retroviral.
My sessions are built around people and the work in front of them. We bring real briefs, make things together, compare tools, and talk honestly about what works, what needs a human eye and where a workflow could improve. Your team leaves with useful experience they can carry straight into their next project.
Practical, one-off workshops or a deeper four-week programme built around your team.
