The Marketing Team of One | The Future of AI Marketing
If you're a Startup Founder or run a small business, you're already in a marketing arms race — whether you signed up for it or not.
Your next client researches you online before they ever call, and your competitors are raising their marketing budgets this year. Meanwhile, the tools have changed what one person can do: 58% of small businesses used generative AI last year, and the ones running AI-native operations are pulling ahead fast.
Marketing used to take a team you don't have. One evening, three operators, and the AI playbook that lets one person do the publishing, the outreach, and the follow-up — consistently, without burning nights on it.
