Battle-tested AI marketing systems. Fortune 500 results on a bootstrap budget.

Ever since writing my 2018 thesis, Artificial Intelligence in Marketing, I've been putting my research to the test in the real world - helping implement AI marketing systems that actually work for Fortune 500 companies. I've taken everything I learned and distilled it down for my clients so you can learn from their mistakes.

AI That Sounds Like You, Not a Robot

The biggest failure points in AI marketing isn't the technology - it's directionless implementation and the loss of brand voice. My background in AI brand safety at ZeroToOne.AI means I've learned my from experience what works and what doesn't. No "AI for AI's sake." No AI generated content that sounds AI generated.

Strategy Backed by Academic Research

My thesis, "Artificial Intelligence and Marketing," has been cited over 250 times and incorporated into university curriculums. My thesis has led to me helping teach a graduate-level ML capstone course at an elite university and presenting an innovative AI application to renowned D.C. think tank, The Atlantic Council. It's this level of academic rigor that serves as the foundation of every engagement for my clients.

Go beyond manual workflows and error-prone ChatGPT prompts.

Most AI marketing efforts fail because they prioritize speed over substance, resulting in generic content and significant brand safety risks.

Generic Output.

AI tools often produce "middle-of-the-road" creative that dilutes your brand's unique point of view.

Brand Safety Risks.

Unchecked generative AI can produce biased, inaccurate, or off-brand content that damages institutional trust.

Shiny Tool Syndrome.

Implementing too many "hyped" apps creates a fragmented workflow that actually slows your team down.

I've been here before AI marketing was trendy. And I've been getting AI to work in the real world for 8+ years so you can see through the hype merchants and go beyond simple "prompt packs."

Why AI Marketing is Crucial for Modern Brands

  • Smart Systems that Move the Needle: Transition from manual, time-intensive workflows to implementing lean, pragmatic AI marketing systems that solve high-volume creative bottlenecks without the bloat.
  • Institutional-Grade Brand Safety: Leverage the same protocols I've helped develop for Fortune 500 brands to ensure your AI output is accurate, on-brand, and effective.
  • Beyond the Hype: Benefit from a strategy rooted in deep-learning principles and peer-reviewed research, not just "prompt engineering" trends.
  • Automate with Confidence At-Scale: Automate the repetitive while protecting the "human" creative direction that gives your brand its competitive edge.
  • Future-Proof Authority: I was here before it was trendy when I wrote my thesis, "Artificial Intelligence in Marketing" in 2018, which has since been cited 250+ times and incorporated into university curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about my services, how the process works, turnaround time & more.

How is your approach to AI marketing different?

Most AI consultants focus on prompts and tools. I focus on strategy, systems, and competitive advantage. My approach is grounded in my research starting with my thesis in 2018, and has been fleshed out through hands-on AI implementation in the real-world.

Can you help our team use AI without damaging our brand image?

Yes. One of the biggest risks with AI-generated content is brand dilution. I build guardrails, brand-trained prompt systems, and content governance frameworks that preserve tone, positioning, and creative integrity.

Do you implement AI tools directly, or just provide strategy?

Both. I provide high-level AI marketing strategy as well as hands-on implementation support. This includes designing AI-assisted content systems, marketing automation workflows, and brand-safe AI deployment guidelines. The level of involvement depends on your team’s internal capabilities.

Do you offer workshops or team training on AI in marketing?

Yes. I offer executive briefings, marketing team workshops, and customized AI training sessions. These sessions cover practical AI implementation, marketing automation, content strategy, and ethical AI deployment. Workshops can be virtual or in-person.

How does the process work from start to finish?

Depending on the service package, a typical project will be completed in 2-6 weeks. Complex deliverables, such as custom AI systems and/or enterprise website design may take a bit longer. To get a specific estimate, schedule a discovery call with me.
