06FAQAsked clearly

Common questions about AI, marketing and training

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 ChatGPT and Claude workshops for agencies, SMEs and engineering teams, plus a Mailchimp training — hands-on in your own accounts, on-site in Zurich or remote. 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.
