Direct-response marketer · AI systems · photography
Everything I build has to earn its keep.
I'm Jacob Avanzato. Ads that pay for themselves, AI systems that run every week, photographs that sell the work. Right now the focus is putting AI to work inside small businesses.
Now
Taking assessment clients, remote and in person. Day to day I'm shipping marketing and AI systems for TaiLopez.com and building tools for my own businesses. This box changes when my focus does.
What I do
Two doors.
AI consulting + implementation
I find the places AI actually pays off in your business, install the systems, and hand you the keys. The assessment comes off your first build.

Events, products, and real estate, shot to sell the work. Plus a festival archive from a decade on the road, coming back online album by album.

Who you're dealing with
The AI is new. The work isn't.
Before anyone called this AI consulting, I was a direct-response marketer. My job was making words and systems produce measurable money, and getting fired by the numbers when they didn't. That's still the job. The tools got better.
Before AI
UNC Chapel Hill graduate. Multiple millions of dollars spent on profitable Facebook ads. Books sold door to door, fourteen hours a day. A photography business built from scratch and run for a decade.
These days
Marketing Director at TaiLopez.com. I build AI systems all day, every day: ad production, research pipelines, phone lines, automations. Then I build them for businesses like yours.
How I work
Fixed fees, in writing, before work starts. Plain English the whole way. You own everything I build. And if AI isn't worth it for your business yet, I'm the one who tells you.
I've run the kind of business you run. That's the qualification that matters.
One useful AI idea a month.
A short email when I find something that actually works for a small business. No course pitch, no flood. Unsubscribe whenever.
Goes straight to my inbox for now. No robots between us yet.
The next step is a call, not a contract.
Twenty minutes. Tell me what you're building, what's eating your week, or what you need photographed. I'll tell you honestly what I'd do about it, and what I'd charge.
