AI Acceleration for the LASIK MD team.

One senior LCA operator embedded with the marketing team. We raise the AI baseline, rebuild the brief-to-asset flow alongside the team, and leave you with the foundations to keep compounding after we roll off.

Production is the biggest pain point. It is also the highest-leverage place to apply AI.

Brief writing and studio processing take days that should take hours, and every campaign touches eight people before it lands. The marketing team agreed on this unanimously in the May 13 session.

A big campaign brief (3 ads × 18 variations × 2 languages × 3 markets × 2 LOBs, roughly 56 assets) currently takes Christina three days to write. Processing on the studio side touches four studio members and four brand members. 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. Brief AI is paid for. Irina's capacity doc is an effort-impact map that has already done part of the prioritization. The tools and the appetite are in place. The workflows and the confidence are not.

By end of the sprint
First speed-to-market signal on the named workflows. Brief AI is wired into Christina's brief flow. The marketing team has the literacy and prompt patterns to keep building. Adhesion to the program is itself a KPI.
Beyond the sprint
The 56-asset brief moves toward generating end-to-end in roughly one hour, with the right human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Studio shifts from production house to a mini creative agency. This is the direction, not a sprint deliverable. The sprint sets the foundations; the next phase rebuilds the process around the new throughput.

One operator, embedded for 40 hours a week.

One senior LCA operator runs the sprint with the marketing team, either on a LASIK MD email or a freelancer email, whichever fits. They work inside Microsoft Teams alongside the team, accessible ad-hoc the way any other team member would be.

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

Individual, then assets, then workflows.

01.

Individual. Baseline, confidence, safety.

Month 1

The first month raises the floor. Everyone on the marketing team lifts their AI literacy: prompting fundamentals, when to reach for AI and when not to, what skills exist for marketers specifically. We audit current workflows, comfort levels, friction.

Psychological safety is the baseline. Nobody should feel like AI is coming for their job. Everyone should feel like it is the best thing that ever happened to it.

Read. The first month 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.

Assets. Core outputs, accelerated.

Month 2

By end of month two, the team has the prompts and patterns to produce its core outputs with AI on the daily work: briefs, headlines, landing-page variants, bilingual repurposes. The acceleration happens on the actual campaigns shipping that week, not on a workshop exercise next to them.

Brief AI gets folded in for real, with the prompting and review patterns dialed in for Christina's brief flow specifically. The first speed-to-market measurements on real campaigns get taken here.

Litmus. Adhesion is visible by end of month two. The signal Janice asked for (production efficiency proven before judging creativity) starts to land here.
03.

Workflows. Two or three team-owned skills.

Month 3

We co-build two or three of the highest-leverage skills with the team. Brief skill, studio processing skill, and landing-page skill are the obvious starting candidates; the final shape gets locked in Week 1, together with the team, against Irina's capacity doc.

These are skills the team owns and runs after we roll off. The output is yours, the prompts are yours, the runbooks are yours.

Foundations. By the end of the sprint, the production workflow is well on its path to a faster shape, two to three skills are in starting form, and the conditions for the next phase (the one-hour campaign brief) are in place. The third month is where the team-owned workflows actually land.

Senior operators, one room.

Twelve weeks, one senior operator.

One senior LCA operator embedded with the marketing team for 12 weeks. Ninety days of guaranteed resourcing, the full three-phase arc, two to three team-owned workflows handed off at the end.

The full arc. Individual, assets, workflows. Ninety days of guaranteed resourcing and a third month that leaves the team with skills they actually own.

  • Senior LCA operator embedded at 40 hrs / week for 12 weeks
  • Full three-phase arc: Individual → Assets → Workflows
  • 2–3 team-owned workflows with handoff runbooks
  • Brief AI wired into Christina's brief flow
  • Speed-to-market baseline measured on real campaigns
  • 30-day post-sprint Q&A window
  • Adhesion and signal report for Jess and Janice
  • Week 0 corporate-ChatGPT rollout + pre-kickoff anonymous survey
  • AI literacy framework for the marketing team
  • NDA before any patient-data-adjacent conversation · no recordings
  • Partner oversight on the engagement arc (Theo)
Shorter path
8 weeks · $40,000 / month
$80,000 total

If 12 weeks isn't the right shape, we can run the same embed at 8 weeks for $40,000 / month. That covers Phase 1 (Individual) and Phase 2 (Assets) — the team gets AI literacy and Brief AI wired into the brief flow, but Month 3 (the team-owned workflows) sits outside the engagement. Shorter loop, faster read on adhesion, no team-owned skills at the end.

Start window: June 2026, after the one-week ramp.

We do this work for a living.

01

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.

02

Healthcare-aware

We have worked under PHI constraints before. NDA in place before any patient-data-adjacent conversation, no patient data in any AI tool during the sprint, no meeting recordings under your standing policy.

03

Methodology that travels

Individual, assets, workflows. The same arc that ran for Lightspeed's PM org and Paramount's innovation team, translated for marketing teams shipping bilingual campaigns into Canadian markets.

04

Built for adhesion

Adhesion to the program is itself a KPI. The signal report at end of sprint is honest about who is leaning in and who is not, and what to do with that information.

Let's get Christina's three days back.
