Run the whole marketing function — strategist, copywriter, designer, analyst, scheduler — through AI, from one chair. Write the one brief that drives every role, get usable output from each, catch where it's confidently wrong, and run a 90-minute weekly loop that ships without you. The assembly course that turns 'I can't afford a marketing team' into 'I run one.'
It's 11pm. The real work is done, and now there's the other list — post something, send the newsletter, figure out why the ad spent $300 and brought back nothing. So you open a chat tool, type "write me a caption," get something beige with three emojis, and post it anyway. Marketing, done like the dishes.
That loop ends here. Not because you'll work harder — because you'll stop being five exhausted people and start running a team.
A real marketing function is five jobs: a strategist who decides what to say, a copywriter who writes it, a designer who makes it look like something, an analyst who reads the numbers, and a scheduler who ships it every week. At a funded company that's five salaries. You've been doing all five in the cracks of your actual job. This course hands each one to AI — not as a magic button, but as a team you manage around one real business.
You'll build it on a workbench you can see: Brushfire, a one-person hot-sauce brand fighting for space on a crowded shelf. (Selling a service instead? There's a coach's version flagged the whole way through.) You'll write the one-page brief that becomes the team's shared brain. Put the strategist to work and force it to decide, not just suggest. Get the copywriter producing words that sound like you, using your customers' own language instead of "elevate your experience." Make the designer give you on-brand graphics that don't scream a robot made them. Teach the analyst to hand you one decision instead of a wall of charts. Get the scheduler shipping every week without you.
Then the lesson that protects all of it: how to catch your team when it's confidently wrong — the made-up stat, the claim you can't back, the fake testimonial — before it publishes under your name. Real brands have shipped all three, in public, and paid for it.
By the end you run the whole function on a 90-minute weekly loop. A stack that costs $20–120 a month does the task output of a marketing manager or an agency retainer. It won't replace your judgment, your taste, or your accountability — those stay yours. It just means you finally got the team you couldn't afford.
You won't learn to prompt harder. You'll learn to run a marketing team that happens to be made of AI.
