AI consulting + implementation

I put AI to work inside businesses. Mine runs on it.

Lead generation, video editing, reporting, client follow-up, ad management. I rebuilt my own company on AI systems that do that work every day. Now I build the same thing inside yours.

Not a demo. A real company.

Where most businesses are

Nobody has shown you what AI does in your business on a normal Tuesday.

01

The demos don't look like your business.

They show a chatbot writing a poem. You need it to handle your leads, your follow-up and your reporting.

02

ChatGPT isn't a system.

Your team uses it to write an email. It doesn't run a process end to end.

03

The tools change every month.

You don't have time to test them all and find out which ones actually stick.

Most AI advice comes from people who have never run a business on it. I run mine on it.

Who I am

I'm an operator first. AI is how I run the company.

I founded Blue Water Marketing in 2017, managed more than $50M in Meta ad spend, and sold a brand in 2021. Then AI broke the way my industry worked, so I rebuilt the whole company on it. Prospecting, video, reporting, client calls, ad accounts. Since then I've built the same kind of systems inside 8-figure companies. My company was the test. You get the version that already works.

What I've built

Every department. One AI operating system.

These run in my company right now. The same patterns work in yours: repeat work, real data, a person who approves.

Cold Outbound

Finds prospects, researches each company, writes a personal email, scores it before it sends, and logs every reply.

Hi Dana, saw you opened a second location in March. Most shops your size lose the follow-up on quotes when that happens. We built a system that handles it. Worth a look?

Working together

Three steps. You own everything we build.

01

Audit

I map how work actually moves through your business and find the jobs AI can take over first. You get a written roadmap, ranked by time saved and money made.

02

Build

We build the first systems inside the tools you already use, connected to your real data. No new software stack to learn.

03

Train and hand off

Your team learns to run, approve and improve the systems. When we're done, they keep working without me.

Good fit if

  • Your team does the same work every week and it eats hours
  • Your data already lives somewhere: CRM, Shopify, ad accounts, spreadsheets, a project tool
  • You want systems your team runs, not a chatbot on your website

I read every application myself. If it's a fit, we'll set up a call.

Track record

I've done the work these systems do.

The agency side of the company, on real client accounts. The 2026 numbers come from accounts the agents above work on every morning, with a person approving every call.
