TL;DR: Providers don’t win with more tools—they win with throughput, lower cost‑to‑serve, and net revenue retention. Our new suite—Ignite (sell), Zylo (fulfillment), and Ember (retention & growth)—is an operating model where coordinated, human‑in‑the‑loop systems turn leads into orders, and orders into outcomes across thousands of SMB accounts, safely and predictably.
The provider paradox
If you sell and deliver marketing to SMBs at scale, you carry a paradox: demand is endless; margins aren’t. Tool sprawl and handoffs throttle throughput. Quality varies by team and region. Proof of value is sporadic, which feeds “silent churn.” Meanwhile, your best people spend too much time moving work instead of improving outcomes.
Our belief is simple: coordinated systems beat disconnected tools. That’s the bet behind our new suite.
A new operating model for Digital Marketing service providers
Over the past two years, we’ve worked with high‑volume providers—agencies, platforms, publishers, resellers—to re‑think how work gets done. The conclusion is simple:
Coordinated systems beat disconnected tools.
That’s why today we’re introducing three purpose‑built systems that map to the work providers already run:
- Ignite — Intelligent Selling
Target the right SMBs, assemble right‑sized bundles, and move from discovery to close with data‑driven prioritization, dynamic packaging, and proposal drafts that stay inside your existing workflow. - Zylo — The AI Fulfillment OS
Execute campaigns from brief to publish with specialized agents for Brand Kit/Compliance, Social, Search Ads, Email, SEO, Reviews, Websites, and Commerce—each with guardrails, approvals, and an audit trail. - Ember — Retention & Expansion
Shift customer success from reactive to proactive with artifact‑first value communication—Onboarding Briefs, Monthly Progress Reports, Positioning Guides, and Benchmarks—so renewal conversations become growth conversations.
This isn’t “AI for AI’s sake.” It’s an operating system for providers that standardizes quality, enforces brand/policy controls, and compounds throughput across service lines.
Why this matters for our customers (you)
- Throughput without headcount: Orchestrated agents eliminate handoffs and rework. Managers focus on QA and exceptions, not swivel‑chair ops.
- Lower cost‑to‑serve: Standard playbooks + locked Brand Kits + one approval path cut cycle time and error rates.
- Fewer escalations, tighter SLAs: Every outbound action is human‑in‑the‑loop by default—an accepted best practice in modern AI governance.
- Retention as a system, not a quarterly hope: Proving value monthly compounds outcomes. (Bain’s research—popularized by HBR—found that a 5% lift in retention can increase profits 25–95%, a reminder that expansion follows proof.) Harvard Business Review
What this means for the industry
- From dashboards to done. The unit of value shifts from “activity” (posts created, tasks closed) to outcomes (time‑to‑launch, CPL/CPO improvements, NRR).
- Proof beats promises. Providers that standardize monthly artifacts—plans, reports, benchmarks—win trust and expansion. “Silent churn” thrives in silence; Ember’s cadence makes value visible.
- Human + agent teams become the norm. As AI adoption becomes table stakes, governance and role clarity define advantage: where the agent drafts, where the human approves, and how the system learns. McKinsey & Company+1
- Local differentiation returns. Providers who pair local context with accountable automation can win big —especially in multi‑location and regulated categories.
How the suite works (in practice)
- One brief in → many assets out: Ignite structures the ask; Zylo produces compliant, on‑brand work across channels; Ember turns output into artifacts clients understand.
- Guardrails everywhere: Brand lock, policy checks, approval queues, and full audit trails.
- Open by design: Connect your CRM, ad accounts, social, web, and commerce data to power orchestration and reporting.
- Multi‑tenant, multi‑brand, white‑label ready: Serve thousands of SMB accounts with provider‑branded assets and role‑based access.
The governance we stand behind
We designed the suite to be human‑in‑the‑loop by default, with role‑based access, auditability, and data boundaries that align to enterprise expectations. This isn’t just prudent—it’s consistent with emerging AI governance guidance that emphasizes meaningful human oversight for high‑impact actions. KPMG Assets
Where we go from here
We believe providers will win this decade by making value obvious and making work lighter. Ignite, Zylo, and Ember are our contribution to that future: systems that let your teams do their best work—and prove it.
