AI in Growth

Marketing operations, engineered with AI in the loop.

Five operating patterns I have implemented inside live performance environments. None of these are prompts. They are systems running inside ad accounts, reporting pipelines, and creative ops every day.

  • 01SYSTEM

    Creative testing at agency scale.

    The Problem

    Manual creative production caps testing volume at 5–10 variants per week, which starves the algorithm and stalls compounding.

    The System

    An AI-assisted creative pipeline that takes a winning angle and produces 30–50 brief-ready variants weekly across hooks, formats, and aspect ratios. Briefs auto-generate from past winners using Mixpanel drop-off signals as input.

    The Outcome

    CPM compression and faster winner detection. The brand exits the learning phase in days, not weeks.

  • 02PATTERN

    Reporting that writes insights, not rows.

    The Problem

    Marketing teams burn 6–10 hours a week assembling reports that nobody reads.

    The System

    Reporting layer that pulls from GA4, Meta, TikTok, and Klaviyo, then runs the data through a Claude or GPT-4 layer that flags anomalies, surfaces creative fatigue, and writes the executive summary in plain language.

    The Outcome

    Weekly reporting collapses from hours to minutes. Leadership reads actual insights, not dashboards.

  • 03SYSTEM

    Performance ops copilots inside the ad account.

    The Problem

    Senior media buyers spend 60% of their time on monitoring instead of strategy.

    The System

    A monitoring agent watches campaigns against ROAS, CPA, and frequency thresholds. When anything crosses a guardrail, it pushes a Slack alert with the diagnosis and a recommended action — pause, scale, refresh, or shift budget.

    The Outcome

    Buyers act on signal, not noise. Spend efficiency stays inside the target band without the late-night account-checking.

  • 04PATTERN

    Content briefs generated from performance data.

    The Problem

    Content teams brief from intuition. Performance teams measure after the fact. The two functions never align.

    The System

    A workflow that reads winning ad creatives, scrapes top-converting hooks, then auto-generates content briefs for the content team — formatted to their actual brief template.

    The Outcome

    Content production aligned to what's working in paid, in real time. The funnel stops leaking between teams.

  • 05SYSTEM

    First-party data activation through AI matching.

    The Problem

    First-party customer data sits in the CRM, disconnected from the ad platforms where it matters most.

    The System

    An AI-enabled enrichment layer that segments customers by behavioural signal, then pushes hashed audiences into Meta, Google, and TikTok via Conversions API. High-LTV cohorts get scaled retargeting, low-intent ones get suppressed.

    The Outcome

    Retargeting becomes a precision instrument, not a tax. CAC drops, LTV-to-CAC widens.

None of these are theoretical. Each one was built inside a live engagement, against a live P&L, under a real budget.
