As I shift focus within AI for marketing, I just wanted to look back at why AI for video marketing hasn’t panned out the way I thought it would. (Or, at least, hasn’t panned out yet!)
I think it’s two things —
1. Tech
2. Market

RIP digital ads. Long live AI agentic advertising.
So AI is about to change marketing. It's been bubbling up for 2 years. It's here now. And I'm shifting focus to fully bet on it. It's a bit of a wild bet. Here's why: :)

I’m about to hit 43. It feels very different now. Health is now a big focus. I work out 5 days a week. Shifting my diet to plant-based proteins (fun!)

As an early-stage founder.... 10 paychecks at once... sounds pretty compelling? 😅
Got no answer there. But I did just crack a dev shortcut.
MCP + Cursor = now my dev command center to:
1. 💡 Plan features
2. 🔍 Review code
3. 🐞 Squash bugs
4. 🧪 Test in browser
Sharing is caring. My setup below.

"Agentic Marketing" — What is it? Who’s in the game? Where’s it headed?
Here’s my first cut at a market map.

AI ADS SHOULD NOT MEAN "SHILLING AVATARS"
I can't emphasize this enough. It's been wild to watch how many AI companies have been pitching generated spokespeople in your ads.
This is awful.
Consumers are craving realness. Consumers can tell. You're burning through your brand equity.

I’d describe my job as a CEO as 50% managing people and 50% managing AIs right now. Here’s a hard take.
My read is, two types of jobs are most at risk right now. (But it’s not all doom and gloom!)
1. Junior and offshore software developers

Reflection — 2 years ago, I made a bet.
In a few ways very intuitive:
1. That AI will take over video and marketing 🌸📹

It’s very odd to be touching both AI and ecommerce professionally at the moment.
Where, the first is on a once-in-a-lifetime swing up and the second is in the middle of a collapse that could easily become worse than 2020.

As a startup founder, you gotta be prepared for every outcome. Here’s how I’m managing through this economic uncertainty.
