The challenge

Curve is a performance-marketing agency running paid media across Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat for 25 to 30 clients. The team was already experimenting with AI, but the value was personal and scattered, and the founders were still handling operational work.

Modeled monthly values are preliminary estimates built from Curve's own reported hours and rates. They are not presented as realized savings.

The context

Curve was not starting from zero. The team could see AI's potential. The next challenge was strategic: where should the company invest, which workflows had the strongest economics and what foundation would let AI scale without creating disconnected tools or operational risk?

The outcome

Curve received a quantified AI roadmap and a clear basis for deciding what to build first. It also defined the architecture, dependencies and controls needed to move from individual AI use toward a reusable company capability.
