Field Notes.

A week in marketing, reimagined with AI

What could change if an AI partner understood your business, connected the work across teams and tools, and learned alongside you?

Sunny’s green AI app icon surrounded by moments from a marketer’s week: connected sales and research, audience mapping, team handoffs, campaign creative, a regional stock change, Maya’s launch approval, and checkout insights suggesting the next test.

This is a design exploration of how marketers might collaborate with AI. What could that relationship look like if an assistant understood the business behind a campaign, as well as the brand?

Imagine a week in the life of a marketer working with AI.

Meet Maya, a marketer at Sunday, and Sunny, her AI partner. She starts with a growth goal. Over the week, they connect the evidence, develop a campaign, coordinate with teams, adapt when plans change, and decide what to do next.

Sunday sells coffee through cafés, retail partners, and an online shop. Maya wants more first-time Daily Roast buyers, with a small campaign live Friday and a $500 ad budget. First, they need to decide where to focus.

I’ve connected the brief to the audience, product feed, and agency tasks. Here’s what needs a review before we launch.

Give the idea a creative direction.

Sunday’s approved photography, the campaign brief, and the creative team’s past feedback come together.

One change. See what it touches.

The west is short on Daily Roast. Paid targeting, email, and the agency brief are affected. We can hold the west or move Friday.

Sunny

We’re seeing first-time buyers from the campaign, but people drop off when delivery costs appear at checkout. I’d test showing those costs earlier before we spend more.

From the first question
to the next opportunity.

Maya started with a growth goal. Sunny connected the evidence, helped shape a campaign, and carried her decisions across the team’s tools. When stock changed, the plan changed with it. Maya approved the launch. The results gave them their next move.

That’s the future this thought experiment imagines: an AI partner that follows a business goal across people and systems, connects what the team learns, and carries it into what happens next. The marketer sets the direction and makes the calls.
