I recently spoke to a marketer who ran a $40M brand with just two designers and ONE AI process:
He gave me and my team a masterclass on using AI to scale marketing and creative.
Most brands use one tool with a bad prompt and hope it will solve all their problems.
He chains 7 different tools together for: ideation, image creation, video editing, and iterating based on performance.
ALL using AI and two offshore designers.
I paid him 6-figures to build these systems for my companies.
Now, I’m giving them away for free.

I've worked with @sampathptrvu before and, mind you, he has an instinct for taste, judgment, and knowing what to ignore.

2025 was about "vibe coding" so you can build software with AI
2026 is about "vibe marketing" so you can earn attention, trust, and demand with AI
manus/meta moving into vibe marketing feels right on time.
I’m looking for roles where taste isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’ sitting on top of a growth roadmap.
Rather, taste is the roadmap.
Sacrosanct. Non-negotiable. The whole game.
I am looking to work with AI founders ‘who get it’. If believe this viscerally, I’d love to talk. 🗣️
After ~10 years in tech journalism and marketing (content/ media/ growth/ brand/ product/ PR/ social), I put together a few thoughts on the future of marketing in 2026 and beyond.
#1 and most important - Taste and flair are the only moats for AI brands.
More below. 👇🧵
Past year, I’ve been talking to AI founders and marketing leaders across the world in SaaS, consumer, Fintech and Web3. There are enough number of early stage founders who are actively trying to build these engines, but most are averse to taste and the risks.
