Lennox Hill: Turning a Marketing Agency’s Dev Team Into Confident AI Coders in a Single Two-Hour Session

Brief

Lennox Hill, a Perth digital marketing agency, had already seen moderate benefits from tools like ChatGPT and wanted to go further, standardising how their development team works with AI coding tools. We ran a two-hour hands-on workshop covering Cursor, an AI-powered IDE that lets AI agents directly read, modify and create files in a codebase, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the standard that lets AI systems connect to custom tools. Developers left with a practical playbook for using Cursor day to day and a clear path to building their own company-wide AI coding infrastructure.

Problem

AI coding platforms like Cursor and Claude Code have seen massive adoption across development teams, and organisations that aren’t embracing AI coding are starting to fall behind. With so many AI coding options now available, it’s genuinely difficult to know where to start and separate the hype from what actually delivers results. Lennox Hill wanted to standardise how their developers interact with AI, giving the whole team the training and support to use these tools to their fullest potential, rather than leaving each developer to figure it out on their own.

Solution

We ran a two-hour session with Lennox Hill’s development team focused on practical Cursor skills, ensuring developers left with the knowledge to immediately start getting value out of the tool. We covered the different agent types within Cursor, giving developers a playbook of when to use each one.

We also covered how Lennox Hill can extend Cursor with their own company-wide Cursor rules and custom MCP tooling, identifying existing third-party MCPs the team could start using immediately, such as the Atlassian MCP for interacting with Jira tickets and the Figma MCP for turning designs into code.

• Built on 3 years of real experience: AI Advancements has been using AI coding tools to deliver over 60 client projects across Perth, so the training reflects what actually works, not just what’s hyped
• Practical from the first hour: the session focused on hands-on Cursor skills developers could apply immediately, not a theoretical overview
• A playbook, not just a demo: developers left knowing exactly which Cursor agent type to reach for and when
• A path beyond the workshop: recommendations for licensing, company-wide Cursor rules, and a custom company MCP code library gave Lennox Hill a concrete next step

Result

Developers left the workshop with all the practical skills required to immediately start coding with Cursor and using MCP servers. We provided recommendations for user licensing, establishing company-wide Cursor rules, and creating a custom company MCP code library. The Lennox Hill team gained the foundational knowledge to build their own AI systems and MCPs, extending their AI coding capability and giving them the confidence to build their own internal solutions going forward.
