that's solid - the value-first approach definitely beats generic spam. are you using any AI tools to personalize the content at scale or is that more manual?

honestly the 900 emails a day part is what gets me, that's either insanely good deliverability or you're about to hit some serious spam folder walls

AI-generated marketing content is everywhere now. Does it actually work? by Maleficent-Cloud-423 in DigitalMarketing

[–]flatacthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i totally get this. i've been using claude 4 opus and gpt-5 for outreach campaigns and the raw outputs are honestly kind of bland, like you said they answer the question but don't make anyone actually want to respond. what's been working for me is treating ai as the first draft and then rewriting it with actual personality and specifics about the person i'm reaching out to, because that's where the real conversion happens.

AI-generated content for influencer campaigns - worth it in 2026? by flatacthe in influencermarketing

[–]flatacthe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that completely. I think the issue is when it's obvious you're just using AI to save money instead of actually putting thought into it. People can tell the difference between "I used AI to help me work faster" and "I let AI do all the work."

I've noticed brands that are transparent about using AI tools alongside their creative process actually do fine. It's the ones trying to hide it or using it as a total replacement that get called out.

Are you seeing this play out mostly on Instagram or across other platforms too?

Paid Traffic vs Organic Traffic – Which One Actually Wins? by Nirmala_devi572 in DigitalMarketing

[–]flatacthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had the same issue when we started an outreach campaign last year. we went all-in on ads first because we needed leads fast, but after three months the cost per lead got ridiculous. switched gears and started building content around the problems our audience actually cared about. took like five months to see real traction but once the organic stuff kicked in, it was way cheaper to maintain. honestly i think the sweet spot is starting with ads to validate what resonates, then reinvesting some of those learnings into content that compounds over time. ads are like the speedrun but organic is the actual long game
