In 2025, social media discussions suggested that Singapore and Estonia had officially awarded teachers the title “Learning Architect.” While no official government confirmation exists, Estonia’s AI Leap 2025 program does emphasize transforming teachers into facilitators and designers of learning environments rather than mere transmitters of knowledge.

This idea is powerful, and it resonates beyond education. In marketing, too, leaders are no longer just product promoters; they are designers of end-to-end experiences.

The “Learning Architect” envisions teachers as:

• Not content narrators, but designers of learning experiences

• Not evaluators, but guides

• Not conveyors of information, but builders of critical thinking

Modern classrooms are not just classrooms; they are designed learning environments. And the architects of these experiences are visionary teachers.

This vision translates directly into marketing.

On the Building Better CMOs Podcast, Ravi Kandikonda, SVP of Marketing at Zillow, explained:

“A marketing leader does not just describe the product, but designs the end-to-end experience. Modern marketing is about building learning/experience architectures through interdisciplinary coalitions.”

This statement reflects the same mindset: marketers are no longer messengers, but experience architects.

In both education and marketing:

• People don’t just buy knowledge or products—they buy experiences.

• Trust, loyalty, and long-term value are built through well-designed journeys.

• Leaders must act as architects, guiding and shaping the environment consciously.

Although the term “Learning Architect” has not yet been formally adopted in marketing, its essence is already visible in MMA Global’s key initiatives. For example, the Consortium for AI Personalization (CAP) is pioneering the architectural design of personalized consumer experiences, enabling brands to move from generic engagement to deeply contextual and tailored interactions. Similarly, the Movable Middles Growth Framework (MMGF) translates experience design into measurable growth by focusing on the consumer segments where marketing efforts can generate the greatest impact. Together, these initiatives illustrate how the role of a “learning architect” is evolving within marketing—blending strategy, data, and empathy into scalable, future-ready solutions.

“Learning Architect,” discussed in the context of Singapore and Estonia, signals a broader transformation.

Teachers become architects of learning.

Marketers become architects of experiences.

And in both cases, success depends not on transmitting, but on designing with intention, empathy, and vision.
