Automating your marketing work without losing your voice.

Map the week before you automate it.

Marketing is a bundle of different jobs: planning, writing, formatting, scheduling, reporting, replying. Write down what you actually do in a normal week and how long each piece takes. The tasks that are repetitive and rules-based are your candidates. The ones that carry your point of view are not.

Repurpose, do not generate from nothing.

Start with something you really made: a call recording, a customer question, an article, a talk. Ask an assistant to pull out key points and draft a short post, an email, and a few headline options. The ideas are yours; the assistant handles reformatting. See One idea, many drafts.

Keep a voice file.

Save three or four things you have written that sound like you, plus a short list of phrases you never use. Paste it at the start of drafting requests. You will still edit, but you will edit less.

Automate the plumbing.

Posting schedules, UTM tagging, moving form submissions into a list, weekly numbers into a sheet: these are safe, boring, and worth connecting. A scheduler or a tool like Make, n8n, or Zapier can handle them with a clear trigger and a notification if something fails.

Review before anything goes public.

Check every claim, name, number, and link. Never let a draft publish itself without a human read. Brand trust takes years to build and one careless post to dent.
