AI Upskilling for PR & Communications: Chatsworth Builds Practical AI Confidence in London

Dixon AI delivered an AI Accelerator Day in London to Chatsworth Communication, bringing its PR and communications professionals together for focused, hands-on AI upskilling. The session formed part of Stage 3, Organisational AI Literacy, within The AI Transformation Playbook, creating a shared foundation of understanding and practical capability across the team. The day resulted in delegates leaving with a common language when it comes to AI, real tool practise and the confidence to begin applying AI directly within client-facing workflows.

As a PR and communications agency operating in a fast-moving media landscape, Chatsworth works at the intersection of narrative, timing and stakeholder perception. The emergence of generative AI presents both opportunity and risk for agencies in this space. Content velocity is increasing, client expectations are shifting and teams are under pressure to maintain quality while responding at speed.

The objectives of the session were:

• To establish a common understanding of AI tools and terminology

• Provide hands-on experience across multiple AI tools

• Build practical confidence in applying AI within PR and communications workflows

• Create immediate momentum for continued exploration and learning
  

The day was delivered in person by Niels Footman. Participants worked directly on their own laptops, using a wider array of AI tools and exploring them through guided exercises. Teams explored how generative AI can support drafting, summarising, ideation and research, while also discussing the boundaries of appropriate use in a client-services environment. The emphasis remained on professional judgement: understanding that while AI can assist with execution, responsibility for purpose and final output judgement remains human.

Broader Insights.

1. In communications-led industries, AI literacy is quickly becoming a baseline professional skill. The ability to frame effective prompts, critique outputs and adapt tone at speed is now part of modern communications practice.
   

2. Shared learning moments accelerate cultural alignment. When an entire team experiences the same shift in understanding on the same day, conversations change immediately.
   

3. Judgement becomes more visible. In a sector where tone, nuance and reputation are critical, teams quickly recognise that AI can support first drafts and research, but human oversight remains central to protecting brand and client trust.
   

The organisation now has a shared reference point. Conversations about prompts, models and appropriate use can happen with precision rather. This creates the conditions for moving from literacy into structured experimentation in the next stage of transformation.
