AUTOMATIon AT WORK. CREATIVITY AT PLAY.
WELCOME TO the mercenary network
We need to change the advertising agency model — for both marketers and business owners. Stop selling/buying services for the sake of selling/buying them. Stop padding/accepting scopes with deliverables no one asked for.
Marketers can (and should) provide quality solutions at cost-effective pricing. Show clients revenue-generating ideas and proposals that actually move the needle. Contracts that feel like a partnership — not a trap.
And for business owners: you don’t have to rely on third-party resources forever. You can replace bloated processes with smart AI tools and gutsy new operational changes. You don’t need account managers or project managers to hold your hand. You can automate these roles, schedule work, stay on deadline, and still be the face of your company.
You just need you (and a couple AI friends). That’s why I created The Mercenary Network — a community built to equip growth-minded professionals with AI tools, trainings, and systems to market smarter—without bloated teams or high third-party costs.

NOT READY TO GO SOLO? THAT’S OK, TOO.
At MercenaryMarketing.ai, I use AI to scale speed, not skip steps. I bring strategy, intuition, and a little comedy to every client table—literally. Because when you're building something meaningful, you don’t outsource trust. I work with AI not because it’s trendy, but because it makes the work better. Sharper. Smarter. More human.
And I do it in a way that respects your time, your goals, and the people behind your business. If you're serious about growth—and about showing up—then let’s talk. At your office. Over coffee. On your turf. Because good marketing isn’t automated. It’s personal. Select one of the options below to begin working with me.
