For marketing teams of 3 to 15 at established firms
Your team already uses AI. Can you point to one hour it gave back?
I build the systems that give those hours back: the monthly report that assembles itself, the drafts that clear compliance on the first pass. We start with ten days of measurement, because the fastest way to waste eighteen thousand dollars is to build the wrong thing first.
The call is free. The Marketing Time Audit is $4,500 and comes off the price of your build.
The answer keeps being "hire someone"
Another salary, another three months of onboarding, for work a system should be doing by now. The budget conversation goes nowhere and the backlog stays.
Nobody in the building can grade the work
You can buy AI expertise or you can borrow it. What you can't do is evaluate it, because the person who would know if it was any good is the person you're trying to hire.
You bought the tools already
Seats sitting at almost zero usage, bought in a hurry and never wired into anything. Nobody wants to say it out loud, so the renewal quietly goes through again.
The board is asking and you need an answer
The pressure is real, and it comes from above you. What's missing is a number you can put in front of them, and a plan that survives the follow-up question.
You're not behind on AI. You're missing a number.
Closer to a home inspection than a consulting project. You pay a small fixed fee before a much bigger decision, you get a written report you keep, and what you do with it is your call. Nobody can tell you what to automate until somebody adds up what your team actually does all week. That's the job.

Published averages against your headcount. Rough by definition, and still the first real number most teams ever see.

What that costs you
$84,774
That's 1.3 full-time hires you're already paying for, spread invisibly across everyone's week. It never shows up as a line item, so it never gets fixed.
people × 10.2 hrs/week × 48 weeks × your hourly cost. The 10.2 hours is the measured weekly average marketers spend on routine manual tasks, from DoubleVerify's 2025 Global Insights survey of 1,970 marketing professionals. The default rate and 48 working weeks reproduce their own published figure of roughly $17,000 per person per year. The hires comparison divides that cost by a $65,000 salary, which is an assumption rather than a finding, so change either number to match your own. The audit replaces the whole estimate with your real figures.
Document 01
Then, where your ten hours actually go
The average tells you the size of the problem. This tells you the shape of yours, task by task, with the rows a system should own marked in blue.
Your version is built from what your tools show actually shipped over 90 days, against what your team says each piece takes, with the waiting time read off the timestamps. The method is printed on the document, so your CFO can check the arithmetic.
What the hours turn into
The audit picks one. Then I build it.
These are working systems that run inside the tools you already own, not documents describing them. Your ranked list decides which one is costing you most, and that is the one that gets built first.
Interview to content
Your expert talks for forty minutes. Nobody then spends the following week turning that into six different posts.
9.5 hrs a week back
Catching problems before review
The same three mistakes stop reaching your reviewer, so the round trip never starts and the timeline stops slipping.
8 hrs a week back
The monthly report
Nobody loses the last Thursday of the month to copying figures between tabs for a deck.
7 hrs a week back
Customer feedback sorting
Nobody reads three hundred tickets to work out something the product team already knew.
6 hrs a week back
One asset, every format
Nobody rewrites the same approved paragraph five times because five channels each want it shaped differently.
4 hrs a week back
Whatever your list turns up
The odd job your industry demands and no software covers. If it earns its build cost it gets built, and if it doesn't it gets cut.
Depends on your week
Hours come from the sample audit. Built in accounts you own, documented, and running without me. See how each one works, or read four builds that already happened.
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them
The audit is how we start, not what you are buying. What you are buying is the system at the end.
Free
You tell me what your team keeps redoing by hand. I tell you whether an audit would find enough to be worth it.
If it wouldn't, I say so on the call and we stop there.
$4,500
Ten business days of measurement. You end up knowing which system is worth building and what it will return.
Refundable in full, and credited against step three.
$12k to $18k
The system itself, built in accounts you own, documented, and running without me. This is the part that gives the hours back.
Your $4,500 comes off this, so the audit costs nothing if you build.
The Marketing Time Audit
You get your number and the order to fix things in. Defensible to your CFO and to the board, whether or not you ever hire me to build any of it.

What lands in your inbox
It arrives as five documents
The time map
Where your team's hours go, traced task by task, with the rows a machine could take over marked and added up.
Settles: "I can't prove the problem is real to anyone above me."
The kill list
Every candidate system ranked by hours returned against build effort, so the order is obvious.
Settles: "I don't know where to start, so I start nowhere."
The blueprints
Written so any competent developer can execute them. Including one who isn't me.
Settles: "What if I get locked into a vendor who's the only one who can maintain this?"
The tool review
What you already pay for, what it covers, what's redundant, and what to cancel with dates.
Settles: "This is another cost, not a savings."
The recorded walkthrough
Me walking your leadership through the findings on video, so you can forward it instead of re-explaining it. The person who signs off usually isn't on our call.
Settles: "I'd have to sell this internally and I don't have the time."
refund
Read it, decide it wasn't worth it, keep your money
No conditions, no forms, no argument about what counts. You keep the documents either way. I'd rather eat ten days than have you tell people you paid me for something you didn't use.
After the map
If you want it built, you own it
If you want the top item built, that's a separate decision, made once you have the blueprints in hand and not before.
Do nothing, and none of this gets worse in a way anyone notices. That's the trap. The hours stay buried in everyone's week, the renewal goes through again, and next year you have the same conversation with the same board, except the number is bigger and you still can't name it.
