AI Tools for Fractional CMOs
Fractional CMO Show
Practical example: festival travel site
Casey walks through using festival site swipe files and manual copy before applying AI to improve it.
In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey tackles the question every fractional CMO is asking: Which AI tools should I be using? But his answer isn't what you'd expect.
Casey admits he spent 14 months considering ditching fractional work entirely to chase the AI gold rush. Instead, he doubled down on something old-fashioned: actually knowing how to do the work. He shares war stories of letting Claude write a client report that turned out mediocre, and the AI-generated voiceover that everyone hated - until his experience proved it doubled results.
The truth? AI won't fix bad fundamentals. If you can't write persuasive copy yourself or don't understand how ads actually work, ChatGPT will just help you produce garbage faster. Learn the craft first, then use AI to speed up what you already know how to do right.
Key Topics Covered:
-Be a Renaissance man/woman first: Understand copywriting, design fundamentals, how ads actually work before touching AI
-Study the masters: Gary Halbert, John Carlton, Paris Lampropoulos, David Deutsch - learn persuasive copy from the greats
-AI can't replace taste, discernment, and experience: These three things are what clients actually pay you for
-Do it manually first, then use AI to scale: Write the ad yourself, make it work, then prompt AI for 50 variations
-His actual AI stack: ChatGPT and Claude for writing, Eleven Labs for voiceovers, Lovable/Bolt for quick web mockups
-Don't outsource critical thinking: AI note-takers and automation rob you of the skills that make you valuable
