Stop Hustling. Start Systemising.

Small teams often feel like they’re sprinting every week: scrambling to get campaigns out, posting when they can, pulling reports at midnight. That’s hustle, not scale.

Systems change the game. When you design marketing systems, flows that are consistent, repeatable, and measurable, you get predictability. And predictability can translate into growth.

Proof It Works: SMEs Winning With AI

  • The Original Tamale Company (Los Angeles) used ChatGPT to create a 46-second, meme-style ad. Cost? Almost nothing. Result? 22 million views and a flood of new customers. (Business Insider)
  • Amarra, a global gown distributor, automated descriptions and inventory management with AI, cutting overstock by 40% and slashing content production time. (Business Insider)
  • In the UK, a University of St Andrews study of nearly 10,000 SMEs found AI adoption improved productivity by 27% to 133% across marketing, sales, and operations. (The Times)

These aren’t future promises. They’re present-day outcomes.

Core AI System Elements Every Small Team Should Have

Here’s where to start building a system that works for you and there are multiple entreprise options to choose from – here are just a few (and prices I could find which may differ depending on region):

1. Content & Creative Automation
AI takes a single blog post and spins it into 10+ assets — emails, ads, captions, scripts. Tools like Canva Pro (£10.99/month) and Jasper AI (£29/month) are the equivalent of having an extra designer and copywriter.

2. Distribution Without the Grind
Consistency wins. Predis.ai ($32/month) generates short-form content, hashtags, and schedules it. Buffer (£5/channel/month) keeps posts running even when you’re busy.

3. Reporting That Writes Itself
Platforms like HubSpot AI Reports or Improvado ($100/month) pull cross-channel data into dashboards — even generating insights automatically. Hours of reporting, gone.

4. CRM & Lead Nurturing
AI CRMs like HubSpot Pro (£670/month) or Zoho Zia (£14/month) score leads, predict close probability, and create personalised nurture flows. Pipeline intelligence at SME scale.

5. AI Customer Service
Tidio (£25/month) or Intercom Fin (£39/month) act as always-on support reps, handling FAQs and qualifying prospects while you sleep.

6. Product & Inventory Optimisation
Shopify Magic (from £19/month) writes product descriptions, recommends cross-sells, and flags overstock. Amarra cut excess stock by nearly half just by letting AI handle the numbers.

Why This Matters Now

AI tools at these prices aren’t “nice to have.” They’re force multipliers. For the cost of a couple of software subscriptions, small teams can build scalable systems that used to require whole departments.

And here’s the kicker: SMEs already doing this are pulling ahead. If you wait, you’ll be catching up.

Closing Thoughts

This is the start of a series of blogletters for SMEs, designed to help small teams make smarter use of AI in marketing. Twice a month, I’ll share frameworks, tools, and case studies you can put into practice.
