AI Readiness for Marketing Teams
Most marketing teams already use AI. Few have figured out how to turn it into a system that a lean team can run but excels at scale. That requires knowing what to automate versus what to keep human, and whether to build their own tools or buy the new AI versions of HubSpot, Salesforce, or Semrush.
Our consultants start with how your team actually spends its time, then builds the plan: the workflows to automate, the tools worth paying for, and the review steps that keep quality high as your output grows.
How Your Team Can Benefit
Workflow Audit
A map of your team’s recurring work, from research and briefs to reporting and campaign ops, with the hours each task takes and where AI can safely take a share.
Tool Stack Review
An assessment of the AI tools your team uses or is considering against what you actually need, including overlap, data-handling risk, and cost.
Guardrails & Governance
Written rules for what AI may draft, review structure, fact-checking, and prompt guidelines. Review steps your compliance team needs, especially in regulated industries.
Brand Knowledge Base Plan
Documentation for positioning, product details, proof points, and voice guidelines so AI tools produce work that sounds like your company.
Training Plan
Role-by-role training for your writers, marketers, and managers.
Measurement Framework
How to judge AI adoption by hours saved, quality held, and pipeline produced, rather than by the number of tools in use.
How the Engagement Works
Interviews
We meet with your marketing leaders and the people doing the work, role by role.
Assessment
We audit workflows, tools, and content quality, and identify the tasks where AI helps and the ones where it creates risk.
Plans and Guardrails
We deliver governance rules, knowledge base plan, and a phased rollout your team can start the following week.
Training
Working sessions with each role, using your briefs and campaigns
Check-In
A regular review against the measurement framework, discussing what is and isn’t working to correct course.
Are we the right partner for you?
We are a strong fit when
- Leadership wants an AI plan, and you’d like it built by marketers rather than a software vendor.
- You work in a regulated industry and need review steps your compliance team will sign off on.
- You want to measure AI by pipeline and hours saved, not by tool adoption.
- You’d rather your team own the process than outsource it to us.
We are not a fit when
- You’re looking for complete human-free automation. Our plans assume people stay in charge of quality.
- You need enterprise IT procurement or model engineering. We work at the marketing workflow level.
- You want a slide deck of AI trends rather than a plan for your own team.
Common questions from hosting & maintenance clients
How are your engagements structured?
Month-to-month, no long-term contract. Month one covers the audit and strategic planning; ongoing maintenance starts from month two.
What happens in the first month?
We audit your current hosting, speed, security, plugins, and every conversion path, then fix what the audit found. You start month two on a clean foundation.
What’s included each month?
Managed hosting, security monitoring, tested updates, daily backups, performance tuning, conversion path monitoring, and a block of developer hours for edits and new pages. You receive a monthly report covering all of it.
Who maintains our site?
In-house engineers, not an offshore ticket queue. The same people work on your site every month, and they coordinate directly with our SEO and content teams when a campaign needs a new page or template.
What KPIs do you report on?
Form completions and conversion rates, Core Web Vitals, uptime, and security events. Custom KPI tracking is also available.
