genAI will save us $10m in marketing this year. We’re spending less on
photographers, image banks, and marketing agencies. The numbers are
mind-blowing:
- $6m less on producing images.
- 1,000 in-house AI-produced images in3 months. Includes the creative
concept, quality check, and legal compliance.
- AI-image production reduced from 6 WEEKS TO 1 WEEK ONLY.
- Customer response to AI images on par with human produced images.
- Cutting external marketing agency costs by 25%(mainly translation,
production, CRM, and social agencies).
Our in-house marketing team is HALF the size it was last year but is
producing MORE!

Gen AI adoption waves
Wave 1 Humans with Copilots
• Method of work: push to next stage.
• Humans play current roles (BA, Dev, QA, SysEng)
• GenAI tools make current roles more effective
within their current tasks.
• Feedback loop: Continuous productivity
measurement and coaching
Wave 2 Humans with Agents
• Method of work: pull from previous stage - react on an
event.
• Role-based GenAI agents do the draft job
• Humans are reviewers, approvers, and circuit breakers
Wave 3 Agents with Humans
• Method of work: rapid directed evolution.
• New roles: “Technical Creator” and “Swarm Operator”
• A Swarm Operator prompts “Create a feature that can…”
• …
Wave 4 Agents
