Small businesses in Nundah are being given the chance to learn how artificial intelligence can grow their online presence, without spending a cent. A free, full-day masterclass in AI-powered social media strategy is coming to the suburb on 26 June, as part of a Brisbane City Council initiative to help local businesses improve their digital skills.
Helping Locals Adapt to Changing Technology
The Nundah session will run on Thursday, 26 June, led by Brisbane consultancy Social Mediology. Each workshop is capped at 15 people to keep it hands-on and is open to small business owners of all experience levels, including beginners.
The program teaches businesses to use AI to connect with their audience, covering market research, customer personas, and a 90-day social media plan. Participants will also learn to create content in their brand voice and take home reusable templates and tools.
A Focus on Community-Based Business Support
Brisbane City Council is backing the workshops to support small and home-based businesses in the digital space. Eligible applicants must be in the Brisbane LGA, have a current ABN or ACN, bring a laptop and attend the full day.
The program aims to boost the local economy by equipping business owners with practical tools they can use immediately. It’s open to all, with no AI experience needed, and suits sole traders, retailers, creatives, and service providers.
How to Apply
Applications for the Nundah workshop, and sessions in Eight Mile Plains, Keperra and Carina, close Sunday, 11 May. Applicants will be notified by Friday, 16 May via the Council’s business events page.
Social Mediology is led by Kate vanderVoort, a digital strategist with over 30 years of experience. The company has helped more than 3,000 organisations across Australia use AI in practical, ethical ways.
What Participants Can Expect
The sessions feature hands-on demos, group activities, and real-time content creation with AI tools. Participants leave with a ready-to-use strategy and custom materials.
The workshops aim to make AI more accessible for everyday use, helping small businesses boost visibility, save time on content, and build confidence with digital tools.
