These 4 AI Tools Changed My Marketing

AI isn’t just taking over code - it’s transforming marketing too. I set out to run an entire campaign using only AI tools… and it’s insane.

Hi, it’s Andreas, and I’m back with Growth - my newsletter exploring the funnels and growth tactics of today’s top startups.

I’ve been messing around with AI marketing tools a lot lately, testing them out pretty much every day. Honestly, they’ve been super helpful - my team’s running more smoothly, and I’m finally tackling some of those old marketing tasks that had been gathering dust.

Then I thought: if I can use these tools to kick off campaigns on my own, then founders can totally solo their startup’s marketing.

That’s why I’ve launched a new sub-publication within this newsletter called Vibe Marketing. In it, I’ll occasionally share insights on how to do effective marketing with AI—and show you real results from my own tests.

Let’s jump right in.

This was a part from an email the Shopify CEO sent that went viral recently:

And it makes one thing clear: we are slowly stepping into the age where we hire AI before we hire people.

Insane, right?

But with everything we’ve seen over the last few months, probably everyone has thought at some point, “Can AI do my job (better than me)?”

So did I - and that was all the more reason for me to dive deep into the world of AI marketing.

I tested tools, built workflows, and saw just how far I could push marketing on my own. My goal? To run an entire marketing campaign, end to end, using only AI.

And spoiler alert: it’s not only possible, but surprisingly effective.

I’m now brainstorming entire marketing campaigns - from target audience to messaging to ads. I get a full briefing, fully developed organic social posts, fully developed ads with hundreds of visuals to choose from, and a fully developed landing page connected to the backend I want.

And all of this in less than two hours - and done entirely on my own.

Spoiler: those campaigns are similar to what full marketing teams are doing today.

So, with the right tools and the right prompts, you can already solo your marketing.

Let me show you the tools.

1. Brainstorming & Strategy

I kicked things off with Writesonic, which helped me brainstorm an entire campaign from scratch.

From the concept to audience targeting and messaging angles, it basically built the bones of the whole campaign.

Writesonic integrates with keyword tools like Ahrefs, and it has access to a large library of content from platforms like LinkedIn.

This helps identify content gaps and opportunities - things that would usually take hours of manual research (Writesonic even shows you how much time you save - in my case, it was around 75 hours).

In the end, I had:

• A full strategy

• A full ad campaign with all the content ideas

• Ideas and partially created social posts

• An outline for a PDF that can be used for lead campaigns, if I want

It all came down to the right prompt.

But the good thing is: Writesonic helps you create this prompt. With one click on “Improve prompt”, it rewrites your input in a way that you get the best results from the tool.

2. Visuals for Ads & Posts

Next, I was looking to create ad visuals for the campaign, so I hopped over to AdCreative.ai.

I copied and pasted the concept into the tool and provided my brand guidelines. Based on that, it created dozens of different visuals I could choose from.

With one click, you're able to edit and customize them.

What’s cool is that it doesn’t just generate visuals - it also predicts which ones are most likely to convert, based on performance data from similar ads.

That’s nice when you’re A/B testing and don’t want to waste budget on low performers.

3. Copywriting

For all the written content, and to finalize the social posts I turned to the classic: ChatGPT.

Of course, this step still needed a bit of a human touch.

You have to steer the prompts in the right direction, tweak the tone and structure, and inject personality where needed. That’s probably where most of my own creativity came in.

To make sure everything read smoothly (and was grammatically correct—I'm not a native English speaker), I ran it all through a custom GPT I use called “Grammerly.”

It’s my go-to grammar check and proofreading buddy. No more awkward phrasing or missed commas.

4. Landing Page

Once the post, copy, and visuals were ready, I used Lovable.dev to generate a complete landing page - design, structure, and even database integration.

I wanted the page to have a form connected to Airtable. So I prompted it—and in 15 minutes, it was ready to start driving traffic.

If you’re comfortable crafting detailed prompts, you can stick with the free version. You get five free prompts, and if you're detailed enough, that’s often all you need.

What’s Next?

So, after that, I had:

• A full marketing campaign and strategy

• A complete ad campaign with content and visuals

• Fully written social posts

• A landing page with CRM integration

With that as a foundation, I’m now testing:

A) Connecting all the tools together to create an end-to-end workflow that builds the campaign from start to finish without switching between platforms (I’m experimenting with N8N for this).

B) Finding an AI tool that helps me set up ads and manage/optimize budgets across different platforms.

If I can tie all these steps together - ideation, asset creation, landing pages, deployment, and budget optimization - I’ll basically have a full-stack AI marketing engine running on autopilot.

Final Thoughts

It’s wild how much you can get done with just a few tools and the right prompts. It can absolutely help solo marketers, startups, or small teams scale faster and smarter.

I’ll keep you posted as I test more tools and start seeing performance results.

In the meantime, are you already using AI to automate parts of your growth? Drop me a comment - I'd love to hear what tools you’re playing with.
