(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nUnilever uses AI to vet and route creators and automate workflows across a 300,000-person creator network, per Digiday, while humans retain creative direction.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): build a two-tier system. Use AI for intake, scoring, and workflow routing—the repetitive parts that bog down a manager. Keep humans on creative approval and relationship calls. This lets a small team touch 300K creators without hiring 50 people. Start with 50 creators, document which ones hit your brief, train the AI on the pattern, then let it score the next batch. The human approves before outreach. Zero creative is automated; 100% of paperwork is.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands think automation means robots making ads. Unilever did the opposite: robots doing the forms, phones ringing with humans. The magic is not in the scale—it's in the decision about WHERE you automate. A one-person brand can take this today: use an AI to score creator portfolios against your brand brief, then call the top 20 yourself. You just got the leverage of a 50-person team for a spreadsheet.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/to-manage-300000-creators-unilever-automates-everything-but-the-relationship/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
