AI
AI gets the first draft and the grunt work done. Your Market Research Analyst brings the strategy, fact-checks every claim and makes it sound like you.
First drafts in your brand voice
Blogs, emails and captions drafted from a brief and your voice guide, then edited, fact-checked and given the insight AI can't supply.
One piece, many formats
A webinar or article turned into posts, an email and a short video script, each checked for accuracy.
SEO and AI search
Topic research, content briefs, and checking how you show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers.
Weekly reporting
GA4 and ad-platform exports summarised into a one-page report: what changed, why, and what to try next.
Ad copy variants
AI drafts headline and copy variants inside your claims rules. Your Market Research Analyst picks, checks and launches the tests.
Our rule: business-grade AI only, never free or personal accounts.
