Executive advisory and team training that turns AI into your unfair advantage in marketing and sales. Built for CEOs, CMOs, and CROs ready to move fast.
Three Ways to Work Together
Whether you need strategic guidance at the top, hands-on AI skills for your team, or a full engagement driving measurable growth, we meet you where you are.
For CEOs, CMOs & CROs
Fractional Chief AI Officer partnership for executives who need to integrate AI into their growth strategy without hiring a full-time AI leader.
Ideal for Series A-C companies or established businesses ready to make AI a competitive advantage.
For Marketing & Sales Teams
Hands-on training programs that get your team using AI effectively for real business outcomes, not just experimenting.
Ideal for teams of 5-50 who need to move faster without adding headcount.
For Companies Ready to Move Fast
A structured, phased engagement that starts with a deep-dive audit of your business and produces a prioritized AI growth roadmap, then transitions into an ongoing fractional CAIO retainer where we direct execution across your highest-leverage growth lanes.
Ideal for established businesses with existing teams and agencies who need an AI-specific strategic layer driving measurable results.
Focus Areas
We specialize in the intersection of AI and revenue growth.
Deep customer intelligence and data gathering, accelerated by AI. We spin up variations for A/B and multivariate testing at 10x the velocity, tuning into deeply held desires and beliefs to craft messaging that converts.
Modern go-to-market execution using AI for research, prospecting, and hyper-personalized outreach at scale. Turn pipeline building from a grind into a repeatable engine.
AI models are becoming the new front page. When a prospect asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation in your category, your business needs to be the answer. We build the strategy that makes that happen.
Consumers will increasingly discover, evaluate, and purchase through AI agents without ever visiting a traditional website. The companies that prepare now will capture the market. The ones that don't will be disintermediated by tools they don't control.
About Stimulead
Founded in 2012 by Sam Woods, Stimulead is a Fractional Chief AI Officer advisory firm focused on customer acquisition, monetization, and retention.
We started in development, moved into conversion rate optimization, then into machine learning and data science, and now into AI strategy and agent architecture. That path means we don't just advise on what AI could theoretically do. We understand the technical implementation, the conversion math, the data requirements, and the practical constraints your team will face when executing.
Your team builds. Your agencies execute. We provide the AI-specific strategic lens your current partners may not have and translate it into clear direction they can act on. We know what tools are ready for production, which approaches waste time, and where the gap between a demo and a deployable solution is still too wide. In a landscape that changes month to month, that filter is as valuable as the strategy itself.
We provide AI expertise for growth-focused businesses:
