STARK Edge AI
Built in-house and taught as part of the core curriculum, Edge AI helps you plan media, draft briefs, and read performance data faster than a spreadsheet ever could.
- Auto-generates campaign briefs from audience and budget inputs
- Flags underperforming ad sets before spend is wasted
- Summarises weekly performance into plain-language notes
- Suggests creative and copy variants for testing
What students say
"The live-budget labs made the difference — I'd built a real dashboard before I ever applied for a job."
"Small cohort meant my mentor actually reviewed my campaign brief line by line, not just gave feedback in a group call."
"STARK Edge AI cut my brief-writing time in half — that alone changed how I plan campaigns now."
Questions before you apply
No. The program is built to take you from fundamentals through to applied practice — what matters more is your commitment to the four months.
Cohorts run in-person at our Thiruvananthapuram campus, with weekday sessions and dedicated weekend lab time for campaign work.
It's our in-house AI campaign co-pilot, taught in the final track and used across the program to plan, brief and optimise campaigns faster.
We cap enrolment each cohort so mentors can review student work directly, rather than running lecture-style sessions.
You'll hear from admissions to schedule a short call, followed by next steps and confirmed cohort dates.
