How does Marji approach AI in marketing?

Every engagement codifies brand voice into guidelines a large language model can follow, then builds the workflows that pair human writers with AI for speed. Marketing leaders hire Marji when their team is already using ChatGPT but the output sounds generic, when they want to show up in AI search results, or when they need a system their in-house team can actually run after the engagement ends.

Frequently asked questions

AI-forward marketing, in plain language

  • What is AI-forward marketing?

    AI-forward marketing is the practice of using generative AI tools — large language models, image generation, and AI agents — to plan, produce, and distribute marketing content while preserving a clear brand voice and editorial judgment. It pairs AI for speed and scale with humans for strategy and quality control.

  • Who does Marji Sherman work with?

    Marji works with B2B SaaS, financial services, healthcare, and consumer brands whose in-house marketing teams want to integrate AI into social media, content, and editorial. Past clients include Capital One, KOHLER Co., the ADL, the United Methodist Church, and Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

  • What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

    Answer Engine Optimization is the discipline of structuring brand content so it can be cited and surfaced by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It includes entity-clear copy, FAQ schema, structured data, and topic authority — and it is now a core part of every engagement Marji runs.

  • How long does an engagement take?

    Most strategy engagements run six to twelve weeks. Workshops are one to two days. Ongoing advisory retainers are quarterly. Marji takes on a small number of partner engagements per quarter to keep work hands-on.

  • Will AI replace my marketing team?

    No. AI replaces tasks, not teams. The brands winning right now are the ones whose marketers learn to direct AI — using it for research, drafting, and repurposing, while keeping editorial judgment, taste, and brand voice in human hands.
