In this short, the speaker showcases how an AI assistant can produce three concrete, actionable marketing ideas each day for an event-focused business. The first idea involves targeting venture capitalists (VCs) with a deduplicated outreach list, pre‑written email copy, and the option to verify contacts via the Clay platform. The second idea suggests increasing average contract value (ACV) by upselling the many individual ticket purchasers (one‑ or two‑ticket buyers) to larger "team packs" (three or more tickets), offering a rate that encourages them to bring additional attendees. The third idea recommends ramping up social media promotions across multiple platforms, noting that while execution is straightforward, it requires coordination across channels. Throughout, the speaker notes practical constraints such as the need for extra off‑platform work and limited time to integrate tools like Clay.

Now he comes up with 3 solid concrete ideas a day. So yesterday, for example, it was like, hey, you're a little lighter on VCs than you were in previous years. Let me help you do a target outreach to VCs. Here's the email copy. Here's a list of people who came in the past. And then it asked me, do you want to hit send on this? I said, not quite, because this list of VCs you have, I was like, first dedupe it, which it did. But I also was like, you know, I'm probably going to run it through Clay to just make sure, you know, these— maybe these folks haven't come back because they're gone. They're at different, you know, companies. People move companies every 5 seconds. So there was a little extra work I needed to do off platform. Now, if I hooked up Clay, could he have done it? Probably. But I didn't have time to hook Clay up. So, so that was the first idea. The second idea was, hey, you've got a lot of paid tickets are happening now because you're getting close to the event. Why don't you also try and drive up ACV per company, meaning you have a lot of team, team packs, as we call them, which is 3 or more tickets is the majority. Of our ticket holders right now. He's like, but you have like over 1,000 people that are individual ticket buyers, either onesies or twosies. He's like, why don't you try and upsell them to a team pack and give them whatever the rate would be so that they can upgrade to a team pack, maybe bring somebody else or somebody they know. And I was like, yeah, that's a good idea. Historically we do that around now, so it's a good idea, right? Um, and then the last one was like, you know, ramp up your social promos, which that one's a little harder because there's, there's there's a lot of different platforms we post to social media on. Um, and so for those, I was like, okay, those are fairly easy to execute, we can get those done in a day. But it keeps doing these every
