Inside the Automation Flight Deck Retainer

A repeatable operating system that blends AI copilots with human operators so SFMC programs stay profitable without hiring.

## Why retainers keep breaking Traditional agency retainers collapse under the weight of status meetings, unclear ownership, and ad-hoc scope creep. Teams hire help but still babysit every brief. The Automation Flight Deck flips the model: 1. **Async first.** Every request flows through a Notion + Linear board. Loom updates replace recurring standups. 2. **AI copilots handle the boring parts.** Nightly jobs draft copy, QA journeys, and surface anomalies before a human touches them. 3. **Operators stay in flow.** Certified SFMC/Braze specialists review AI work, ship high-impact launches, and record playbooks as they go. ## What you actually get each month - Two major lifecycle launches (Journey Builder, Automation Studio, Braze Canvas, etc.). - Daily AI content refresh for blogs, CTAs, and email variants tied to your offers. - Executive-facing dashboards + a weekly “Automation Signal Report” summarizing impact. - Dedicated Ops hotline in Slack + emergency incident response window. ## Pricing & fit - **$6K/mo** flat rate. - Ideal for teams with <$1M in media spend who still need enterprise-grade automation. - Requires a single point of contact (Lifecycle lead or RevOps manager) willing to live in async tools. ## Ready to tap in?
