05FAQAsked clearly

Common questions

01How are you different from a regular marketing agency?+

Most agencies run your campaigns. We also build the infrastructure behind them. We bring CMO-level marketing strategy, CTO-level engineering depth, and COO-level process thinking to the same engagement. Strategy and execution in one team, not two separate vendors.

02Do you build custom AI, or just connect existing tools?+

Both, and we're honest about which fits. We integrate best-in-class platforms where they solve the problem cleanly, and develop custom AI solutions where they don't. We have published peer-reviewed AI research at the highest academic level, and that expertise goes into every project.

03What does 'human in the loop' mean in practice?+

Your team stays in control of what matters. We automate volume: routing, enrichment, reporting, content generation, campaign optimisation. Every threshold, every exception, and every high-stakes decision stays with a person. Automation reduces noise; it doesn't create risk.

04Which industries do you work with?+

Any industry with complex processes, repetitive operations, or digital customer acquisition. Our backgrounds span finance, healthcare AI research, and growth marketing. The tooling changes by industry; the method doesn't.

05Do you only consult, or do you actually build and deploy?+

We build and deploy. A strategy deck without implementation is just a document. We write the code, run the campaigns, and iterate on the results. If it doesn't ship, it doesn't count.

06Do you offer AI and marketing training for our team?+

Yes. Alongside done-for-you projects, we run practical AI and marketing training — from AI tool foundations to prompt and workflow workshops and marketing automation. The goal is that your team can operate and extend the systems we build.

07Do you work with KMUs in Zurich and across Switzerland?+

Yes. We're based in Zurich (Wolframplatz 15, 8045 Zürich) and work with KMUs across Switzerland and the wider DACH region. We combine on-site and remote delivery, and we know the Swiss context — from local market dynamics to compliance under the revised Data Protection Act (revDSG).

08Is AI and automation compliant with Swiss data protection (revDSG)?+

It can be, when it's built right. We design AI and automation with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) in mind: data minimisation, transparency, and human oversight for sensitive decisions. Where data residency matters, we use EU/Swiss-hosted or self-hosted models so your data never leaves a compliant boundary.

09What does working with you cost?+

We usually start with a single, clearly scoped project rather than a big platform — so the investment stays manageable and often pays for itself within a few months. You get a transparent estimate up front and only decide afterwards. No mandatory retainer, no long-term lock-in.
