How I Think About Using AI Inside a Marketing Service

When I talk about an AI-assisted business, I am not necessarily talking about developing a new model or an app. My interest is in applying AI to a service a business already needs. I want to begin with the work delivered to the customer, then examine where AI can help perform it.

Distinguish the tool from the service sold

The full-stack idea I discuss contrasts selling a tool to an existing service business with operating a service business that uses the tool itself. The customer can be buying the completed work rather than a piece of software to manage.

I use that distinction to think about marketing services. I am not proposing that using AI removes the expertise needed for every profession; my own example focuses on marketing deliverables that can be prepared and delivered online.

Identify the concrete marketing deliverables

I list ad copy, social posts, video scripts and email sequences as examples. Those are identifiable pieces of work a client may need, rather than a vague offer to sell AI.

The attraction for me is that much of that production involves text and can be supported by an AI system. That is an argument for examining the workflow, not proof that every deliverable or client engagement can be completely automated.

Compare the workflow with what I previously did manually

When I started my marketing agency, I personally wrote copy, built pages, prepared lead lists and handled follow-up. In the businesses I describe in this recording, I use AI for video scripts, landing-page structure, ads, sales pages and email sequences.

Those are the specific production tasks behind my argument about leverage. The historical example does not establish a fixed staffing replacement ratio or the cost and capability of every tool available today.

Choose a service and a buyer instead of only admiring the technology

The next decision is which service to offer and who would buy it. I name possibilities such as content services, lead generation and funnel building, and different types of businesses that might use them.

I describe people becoming overwhelmed by that choice and not beginning. I want the technology discussion to lead to a specific business application: something to deliver for a particular customer, rather than remain an indefinite search through all the possible tools.
