Set the Foundation: Align AI With Outcomes That Matter

Smarter Acquisition: Targeting, Creative, and Bidding That Compounds

Use propensity models to rank prospects by likelihood to convert and expected value, then cap frequency for low scorers to reduce waste. One direct to consumer brand cut cost per acquisition by a third by suppressing low value segments across social and search simultaneously.

Smarter Acquisition: Targeting, Creative, and Bidding That Compounds

Pair generative variations with multivariate testing to evolve headlines, visuals, and offers per micro audience. Keep human creative direction in charge while letting models learn faster than weekly brainstorms. Share a product line you market, and we will suggest three testable creative angles.

Retention and LTV: Personalization That Pays for Itself

Churn Prediction You Can Act On

Next Best Action Across Channels and Moments

Upskill Marketers to Speak Data and Model

Stack and Integration: Build for Compounding ROI

For every platform, write a clear hypothesis, baseline metric, expected lift, and time to value. Sunset tools that fail to deliver within agreed windows. Transparency earns credibility with finance and keeps your stack lean, focused, and profitable.
