Event marketing · masterclass format · Yeongdong, Korea

Working masterclasses for the people who run the event, not the people who only present it.

  • A printable artefact — playbook page, cadence map, or attribution model — leaves every cohort.
  • Sixteen programs across pre-event, during-event, and post-event motion. Pick one, not a bundle.
  • Cohort critique is scheduled, not opt-in. Most of the value lands in week three.

Week one artefact

Audience segmentation worksheet

A four-axis map: role authority, account fit, event readiness, prior signal. Yours to keep.

Week three critique

Peer teardown, scheduled

Six cohort members read your draft and write specific notes. Nobody has to volunteer.

Final week ship

Named, signed-off artefact

Playbook, cadence, model, or map — labelled with cohort dates and lead facilitator.

What you take away

Four things every masterclass treats as non-negotiable.

Working artefact, not a recording

Every masterclass ships a printable, named artefact: a worksheet, a playbook page, a cadence map, an attribution model. If we cannot tell you in advance what you will leave the class holding, we have not designed the class yet.

Cohort critique, scheduled and named

Most of the value comes from your peers tearing apart your draft in week three. We schedule the critique, structure it, and name the round. Nobody has to volunteer to go first.

A short list of what we do not do

Each program lists what is not covered on its first page. Paid acquisition copywriting is not us. CRM administration is not us. Speaker delivery coaching is not us. We will refer you to specialists for those.

Region-aware, not region-bound

Korea is base, and most case studies sit here. The frameworks travel — about 40% of past cohort members have come from outside KR, mostly Japan, Singapore, and the Netherlands.

The flow

Six steps from intake call to alumni open office.

  1. Step one

    20-minute intake call

    We ask what program is on your desk, what you have tried, and what failed. About one in six callers gets told a different program will fit better; one in twenty gets told that none of ours will.

  2. Step two

    Cohort assignment

    We slot you into the next cohort that matches your seniority and timezone. If a cohort is full or mismatched, we hold your seat for the following one rather than crowd a class that is already running well.

  3. Step three

    Pre-class diagnostic

    A short questionnaire and (for some programs) a sample artefact upload. The instructor reads every diagnostic before week one and uses it to seed cohort discussions.

  4. Step four

    Live cohort weeks

    Sessions run live; recordings cover scheduling slips. Critique rounds are not optional. The middle weeks are the ones that move your draft from a sketch to something you would show your manager.

  5. Step five

    Final artefact and certificate

    You ship your artefact, the cohort signs off (or doesn't — a polite no is sometimes the most useful feedback), and we issue the named certificate. The cohort channel stays open for 90 days.

  6. Step six

    Quarterly alumni open offices

    Alumni are invited to a 60-minute open office every quarter, hosted by a Training Director. No agenda, no slides. Bring the question that came up six months after class.

From recent cohorts

What participants say after they ship the artefact.

"The four-axis worksheet from Pre-Event Audience Mapping is the only thing from any training I have actually pinned in our Notion. We cut our invite list by a third and our show-up rate moved up about ten points the next quarter."

Heejin K. Field Marketing Lead , mid-market SaaS · survey
★ 4.7/5

"Solid material on the Field Activation Playbook track. Wish the agency-side adaptation had its own dedicated module — the instructor was upfront that it does not."

Daniel Singapore

"The 21-day handoff template from Post-Event Pipeline Discipline is now part of our SOP. Our sales counterpart went from complaining about lead quality to asking when the next event is."

Jung-ho K. Head of Marketing · survey
★ 4.8/5

"Two sessions ran longer than scheduled in Pipeline Discipline. Worth it but plan around it."
