Boutique owner accelerates growth with AI content & ads

The problem

Kim Cook used AI to draft product copy and optimize ads, helping a small retailer grow faster without added headcount.

The AI solution

Using lightweight tools, the team shipped more campaigns with better targeting, improving reach and conversions while keeping the brand’s voice intact through human review.

Outcome: faster marketing cycles and continued growth thanks in part to AI assistance.
