Make an AI bot your digital strategist.
Most owners use AI to write a caption and stop there. In one hour I'll show you, or your whole team, how to set up an AI that knows your business, use it across your marketing, and make it the strategist you check ideas with.
- Tracking. Are calls and form fills still being recorded?
- Ads. Did spend or impressions drop on Google Ads?
- Your Google profile. Calls from the listing vs. last month.
You're the owner and the marketing department.
Most of the marketing tools you pay for have added AI. There's a new must-have app every week. You don't have 40 spare hours to figure out which of it matters for your business.
- You pay for ChatGPT and mostly use it to write captions.
- Every AI draft sounds like every other business's.
- You can't tell which of your marketing is working.
- You know you're behind. You just don't know how far.
That's the job I do.
I've done marketing for 16 years and built with AI every day since November 2022. I use these tools for real client marketing every week, so I know what works and what's noise.
No slide deck about "the future of marketing." We open the tools and use them on your business.
Every hour is $125. You decide what it's for.

Hi, I'm Alex. I use this stuff on real marketing every week.
16 years in marketing: radio, a digital department I built from scratch, my own agency, and years inside St. Louis agencies. Since November 2022 I've built with AI every day.
Today AI agents produce most of the marketing I run, and I check every piece. Everything I teach is something I use. Plain English, no hype, and I'll tell you when a tool isn't worth your money.
Quick answers.
How much does it cost?
$125 an hour, any format. One-on-one, your whole team, a talk for your group or a monthly check-in. The 30-minute call before your first session is free.
Is it the same price for my whole team?
Yes. You're booking an hour of my time, so it's $125 whether it's just you or your whole marketing team on the call.
What does "make an AI bot your digital strategist" mean?
Setting up an AI tool, like a Claude project or a custom GPT, with your services, customers, voice, goals and numbers. Then it can do more than write captions. It can read your reports, suggest what to try next and draft the work. You still make the call and check its answers, and I'll show you how.
Zoom or in person?
Mostly Zoom, because I'm showing tools on screen and you can follow along on your own computer. I'm in Overland, so I can come to you anywhere in the St. Louis area when being in the room helps. Same rate.
What if I'd rather you just do the marketing?
That's what Modern Marketing STL does: AI agents produce your marketing, I check every piece, $499 a month, flat. You can start with a training hour and hand the rest to me later.
What's the one marketing thing you keep meaning to figure out?
Book a free 30-minute call. Tell me where you are and what you want to learn, and I'll tell you honestly whether an hour with me is worth it.
