About MarketingAlec

Hi, I'm Alec.

MarketingAlec is the newsletter for senior marketers who want AI results, not AI hype. No theory. No jargon. Just what works.

I wrote this because my team was stuck

Every student I taught at UNH and UVM believed AI mattered. Almost none of them knew what to do with it first.

Senior marketers have the same problem with real money attached. You are not short on takes about what AI will change someday. You are short on a decision: what to test, where the budget goes, and how your team gets better this week.

MarketingAlec is that decision, made for you twice a week.

Marketers inundated with AI hype need more than generic news. They need actionable insights, time-saving tips, and clear resources.

Wednesday

The long-form

One AI marketing shift, broken all the way down: why it's happening now and what it means for your stack.

Friday

The resource

A comparison, a workflow, or a tool test, built for a five-minute read between meetings.

Who this is for

MarketingAlec is built for senior marketers and executives making real AI calls for their teams and their budgets. Not for people who want AI news to skim.

You're in the right place if…

You're making real budget or team decisions on AI, and you want the move, not the hype cycle.

You might want something else if…

You're after breaking AI news as it happens, not a tested, twice-weekly take.
