Four Ways to Bring AI Leverage Into Your DTC Marketing
Start with a discovery conversation. Then choose the path that fits where you are — hands-on team training, a 30-day execution sprint, or a full 90-day AI marketing strategy. Every engagement builds on the last.
The Client Journey
Four services. One system. Every engagement builds on the last — most clients start with the Snapshot.
Not Sure Which Service Is Right?
Answer three questions. Get your starting point.
| Snapshot $250 |
AI Training $750–$4,000 |
Sprint $2,500–$5,000 |
Roadmap $1,500–$2,500/mo |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Where are you right now? | Not sure where AI fits — I want clarity before I invest | My team has AI tools but nobody's using them consistently | I know exactly what's broken and I want it fixed | AI is working — I need a full strategy for what to build next |
| 2. Who needs to be involved? | Just me — the founder | Me and/or my team (1–10+ people) | Me — I want something built, not just taught | Me and my leadership team |
| 3. What's your timeline? | I want an answer this week | 1 day to 6 weeks depending on format | 30 days — fixed, scope-locked | 90 days — building for the next quarter |
Still not sure? The discovery call will tell you exactly where to start.
AI Opportunity Snapshot
"Find out exactly where AI fits into your marketing — in 90 minutes."
The AI Opportunity Snapshot is a structured 60–90 minute diagnostic session designed to answer three questions your team has probably been circling without a clear answer:
- → Where is AI already touching your marketing — and what's not working?
- → What is the single highest-leverage AI opportunity given your team and workflow right now?
- → What is the one thing you could fix in the next 30 days?
You'll leave with a one-page action plan — not a tool recommendation list, not a generic AI overview, but a specific, honest answer to "where do I actually start?" The $250 Snapshot fee is credited toward your AI Training or Marketing Sprint engagement.

AI Training via Claude Cowork
"Your team has AI. Now let's build a system that actually works."
Most DTC teams adopt AI tools and then stall. Not because the tools are bad — but because nobody built a workflow around them. Your team has subscriptions they use sporadically. Output that gets rewritten. Processes that are still manual. That's what this training fixes.
Claude Cowork is Anthropic's collaborative AI platform — and it's the operating headquarters of every DLaurie AI training engagement. Training covers two areas:
Email drafting, SOPs, research, meeting prep, customer service templates, task & project management support.
Klaviyo email copy, content briefs, ad creative ideation, product descriptions (with Shopify publishing), social calendars, and brand voice setup.
AI payback time has compressed from 7.8 months (2024) to 4.2 months in 2026, with content teams seeing payback in under 3 months. 62% of marketers cite lack of AI training as their #1 challenge. (McKinsey State of AI 2025; Salesforce State of Marketing 2025)
AI-Powered Marketing Sprint
"One pain point. One fix. Thirty days. Done."
The AI Marketing Sprint is a 30-day execution engagement built around one specific marketing problem — fixed completely, handed off with training, and scope-locked on day one so there's no drift and no ambiguity.
Every Sprint ends with a full team handoff. Your team is trained to run the system independently before day 30. You're not creating a new dependency — you're eliminating one.
Deliverables in Every Sprint
- ✓ 30-day fixed-fee scope — locked on day one
- ✓ One specific marketing problem solved end-to-end
- ✓ 30-day post-launch support
- ✓ Team training and full system handoff
DTC founders with a specific, named workflow problem who want it solved with implementation support — not just a plan. Most Sprint clients move into the AI Marketing Roadmap for ongoing strategic support.
Over 90 Days, You Get
$1,500–$2,500/mo · 90-day minimum · ~$4,500–$7,500 total
- ✓ Full AI marketing audit of your current stack, team, and workflows
- ✓ Prioritized AI marketing roadmap with clear quarterly milestones
- ✓ Bi-weekly strategy sessions — working sessions, not status updates
- ✓ Async Slack support between sessions
- ✓ Capstone handoff document your team can execute independently
- ✓ Case study asset for the engagement
DTC founders who want strategic AI marketing leadership and a prioritized roadmap — not just another execution project. The natural next step after completing an AI Marketing Sprint.
AI Marketing Roadmap & Advisory
"The AI marketing strategy your operation needs — without the full-time CMO overhead."
The AI Marketing Roadmap & Advisory is a 90-day engagement that delivers what a fractional AI CMO does — without the open-ended retainer and ongoing agency dynamic that comes with it.
This engagement answers the question most founder-led DTC brands eventually hit: "We know AI matters. We don't have a strategy for it. Where do we actually start — at the whole-business level?"
The Roadmap & Advisory is not a retainer. It has a defined start, a defined outcome, and a defined end. At day 90, you own the roadmap.
After a Sprint proves execution, this 90-day engagement proves strategic thinking. It's the same work a Fractional CMO does, but scoped and bounded so the client can say yes before committing to an open-ended retainer.
DLaurie AI didn't just help us with AI training, they built us a system. We went from having a mediocre presence and little online sales to increased revenue and real, measurable growth in a matter of weeks.
