PROOF OVER PROMISES

What actually happened when a brand ran on my strategy + AI systems.

✓ Real resultsSubscription DTC · Meta · with Opascope

$620K → $2.7MM
a month, in 90 days

Opascope's largest client, a monthly subscription product, was spending $620K a month on Meta when I joined. Ninety days later it was at $2.7MM, scaled almost entirely through ad creative: my playbook for scaling across width, depth and weight, with AI doing the research, briefs and production under my strategy.

The numbers undersell it: they leave out subscription LTV and the lift the Meta creative gave the brand's Google account.

WHAT I BUILD WITH AI

And the tools behind them

Custom tools managed by the agent

The ads are the part you see. Behind them I build the software that runs the daily work: research, briefs and client review in one studio, with the agent plugged into every screen. Your team clicks, the agent does the legwork, and everything it learns feeds the next round of ads.

Research

Inspiration Library

Every winning ad, sorted by how it was made.

A steady intake of top ads, watched and tagged by AI by framework, look and hook, with a mood board per client that the agent reads as its brief.

Creator Briefs

Briefs creators actually read.

Scripts, hooks, shot lists and inspiration on one clean share link. The agent drafts it, I tighten it, creators tick boxes as they film.

Delivery

Delivery Review Links

Client feedback that goes straight back to work.

Clients approve, ask for changes or pin a note to the exact spot. Every comment lands in the agent's queue as the next fix.

“I'm a creative strategist first, an AI builder second.”

And that order matters. Generic AI tools are built by developers guessing what marketers need. Mine come from ten years in the weeds of what actually drives performance, trained on your research, your brand and your past winners, with my taste on every output before it ships.

Professional Photography

I ran a professional photography studio in Chicago: headshots, portraits, and brand work. Composition, light, and what makes a frame worth stopping for: that trained eye now goes into every ad I ship.
