Adapt the company for the AI age without overhiring or burning the team out

LASIK MD has ambitious goals, just came off a year of crazy sprints and recovery, and now needs to keep that pace without overspending on hiring or falling back into old ways.

A big campaign brief (3 ads × 18 variations × 2 languages × 3 markets × 2 LOBs, roughly 56 assets) currently takes days to write. Processing on the studio side touches everyone. Even a header swap on a landing page becomes a two-week kickoff-and-validate process. Repurposing costs as much as starting fresh.

The team already has corporate ChatGPT and Gemini in place. The tools and the appetite are there. The workflows and the confidence are not. The real opportunity is to capture the energy of the last six months of all-hands-on-deck work and turn it into the power of a much bigger team, without hiring one.

By end of the sprint
The team's baseline is raised. Psychological safety is paired with real support. The invisible tax the team pays today is identified and addressed, beginning to melt away with the power of AI. People are acting and operating like a startup for the AI age, without burning the candle at both ends or overhiring.
Beyond the sprint
Workflows that took weeks happen in hours. Asset creation collapses from days to a single afternoon. Creative testing expands because the cost of trying something dropped. The team owns the systems, the prompts, and the runbooks. The next phase of the company can be built on top of them.

Speed, System, Signal across three months

A senior AI strategist runs the engagement with the marketing team, either on a LASIK MD email or a freelancer email, whichever fits. They work inside the team's tools alongside everyone, accessible ad-hoc the way any other team member would be.

We run it with you, not for you. The team's own work is the material we move on, every week.

Speed, then system, then signal

01.

Speed Meet the team where they are

Month 1

Month one is about coverage, psychological safety, and a fast read on where the leverage lives. Roadmap in place. Workflow audit running. We focus on the areas the team named on the call: writing briefs, minimizing the tax between strategy and production, and identifying the spots where the team can move quicker or go 0-to-1 entirely.

A team-wide workshop gets everyone involved on a baseline level. From there, momentum compounds on the actual work the team is already doing.

Read. Month one is also where individual signal first appears on a shared timeline: who is leaning in, who is engaging on their own time, who needs more support.
02.

System A foundation to ship on

Month 2

Month two builds the foundation the team ships on. Not a central brain, but the right system and context: gathering the knowledge so the AI gets smarter alongside the team and starts to deliver output more like a new hire than a tool.

By the end of month two, core outputs (briefs, headlines, landing-page variants, bilingual repurposes) get produced with AI on the daily work, not in a workshop next to it.

Litmus. By end of month two, the production efficiency story the team needs (proven before judging creativity) starts to land.
03.

Signal Test, react, level up

Month 3

Month three is about how the team gets to market faster, reacts faster, and reads what's working. Put it out, test, react. Repurpose the learning into the next loop.

Signal isn't only on what the team creates. It's also on how people are working: who has stepped up, what practices and process changes need to land, and how to meet everybody where they are so the new pace is sustainable.

Foundations. By the end of three months, the team is set up to operate at a new pace, and the next phase of the company can be built on top of that.

We define, design, and build AI-native

AI-native products. AI-native organizations. Our work is in the shape of teams operating differently after we leave, not slide decks about what could be.

02

Embedded, not advisory

We work inside the team's daily output. The skills the team learns are the skills they keep, because the work was done with them on their own briefs and campaigns.

03

Change management as a craft

Done with you, not for you. We treat the human side of the rollout (psychological safety, pace, signal-reading) as a deliverable, not an afterthought.

04

AI-native, focused acceleration
