Promoted product

UC Berkeley AI course

Why it worked

The creator leverages a significant life event (becoming a lecturer at a prestigious university) and frames it as a call for collaboration, inviting their audience to participate in shaping the course content by suggesting guest speakers. This creates a sense of community and shared purpose.

Summary

The creator announces they will be a new faculty lecturer at UC Berkeley teaching a class on building and launching products with AI. They are seeking guest speakers with large social media followings or content creators who would be good speakers for the class.

Product placement

UC Berkeley: it APPEARS as the location and the name of the institution where the speaker will be a lecturer. Removing it would change the context of the video. AI: it ACTS as the subject of the class the speaker will be teaching. Removing it would change the subject of the class.

2026 New role: Faculty Lecturer @ UC Berkeley 🐻

Transcript

I'm gonna be teaching a class at UC Berkeley this fall around launching products using AI. I'm super excited because I'm gonna be the youngest faculty instructor, maybe in the entirety of Berkeley, but at least for sure in our department. And this has been my dream role since I was a kid, but I need some help. So the class is all about building products with AI, but a big part of it is also launching your products and actually getting users on there. And for that, I wanna bring social media experts on social media to give some guest speeches. So if you're someone with a big following who would be interested to coming in person to UC Berkeley to deliver a speech, please reach out. Or if you know any content creators that you think would be great speakers for UC Berkeley, please tag them. I know some of the people following me are also Berkeley students who might have signed up for the course, which is kinda strange, but yeah, maybe I'll see you guys in the class. A lot of the same content I'm teaching in the class is gonna be stuff I'm posting on here, so if you're interested in that as well, hit follow.
