In the last 24 hours: - Sequoia published "Services is the New Software." - Sam Parr said AI flips agency margins from 40% → 75%. - Olivia Moore wrote "RIP SaaS (1999–2025)." - Jason Shuman flagged the 41-point AI adoption gap between enterprise and SMBs. I've been building for this thesis for three years. Nice to see the rest of the world catching up. The short version: software is becoming free, which means marketing is becoming the moat. The businesses that figure out AI-native marketing in the next 12 months will have an advantage that compounds. The ones that don't will wonder why they're invisible. That's what Blaze exists for.

The biggest AI opportunity isn't in the Fortune 500. 83% of enterprises have already deployed AI. Only 42% of SMBs have. That 41-point gap isn't a data point. It's a wide-open market. And here's what most people miss: SMBs are easier to close than enterprises. No procurement red tape. No six-month security review. No "let me loop in my VP of Engineering." The buyer is the operator. One demo. One pain point. One credit card. The businesses that close this gap in marketing — where ROI is most visible and the need is most acute — will own an enormous category. That's exactly what we're building at Blaze.

Why is there no Harvey for AI marketing? I've spent three years watching this space up close. The answer is simpler than you think. Marketing isn't a structured text problem. It needs creative taste: - images that feel on-brand - video that doesn't look machine-made - copy that sounds like a specific human wrote it for a specific audience For most of 2023–2025, the models couldn't do that. The output was flat. Images had the AI sheen — wrong logos, broken fonts, that uncanny quality everyone could spot immediately. 52% of consumers disengage from content they suspect is AI-generated. It didn't just underperform. It actively hurt the brands using it. Late 2025, something shifted. Image and video crossed a threshold. The AI sheen largely disappeared. The missing ingredient finally arrived. I wrote about what that means for the next 12 months — and which categories move first. https://lnkd.in/g_Zd65e3

We’re proudly a fully remote company. 🌍 But here’s the twist: we believe deeply in face-to-face work. Why both? Because culture doesn’t just live in Slack threads or Zoom calls. It’s built in the moments you share together: 🧨 The spark of energy in a live brainstorm 💡 The side conversations over ice cream that unlock a new idea 💛 The connection that comes from seeing each other as more than just a square on a screen Remote gives us flexibility and reach. Face-to-face gives us belonging and momentum. Together, they shape the kind of team we want to be. That’s why we bring people together. Because building great products starts with building strong relationships.
