Marketing consultant turned founder - launching my first product next week!
Hey everyone!
I'm Carl, and I'm both excited and terrified to be launching Marketeze.ai on Product Hunt next week (Nov 12) - https://www.producthunt.com/products/marketeze-ai?launch=marketeze-ai
I've spent years helping small businesses, but kept hitting the same wall - they needed help but couldn't afford agency rates. I couldn't make it work at lower prices either. So I built an AI platform that handles marketing strategy, content, and analytics from £49/month instead of £2k+.
I'm a first-time launcher, so I'm learning as I go. Been lurking on PH for a while, but now actively engaging and trying to give back to the community before my launch day.
The PH community is incredibly generous with advice. Already got great feedback on positioning, pricing, and launch strategy from folks here.
A bit about me, I'm based near Manchester, UK, probably drinking too much caffeine, and discovering that building a product solo is very different from consulting 😅
Would love to connect with other first-time launchers or anyone who's been through the PH experience. Any last-minute launch day tips are very welcome!
Looking forward to being part of this community beyond just my launch week.

Hi Carl! Your solution is a great cost saver for small businesses, but will the service deliver results comparable to real agencies?
@ixord Great question Igor!
For the work we handle - strategy planning, content creation, keyword research, competitor analysis - we deliver solid results. The AI uses the same data sources agencies use, just faster and more consistently.
Where agencies still have the edge is complex brand positioning, creative campaigns that need human intuition, and high-touch relationships.
The way I see it - we're not trying to replace top-tier agencies. We're solving for businesses who need professional marketing fundamentals but have been priced out of traditional options.
If an agency is working for you, that's great. But a lot of businesses are stuck between expensive retainers and DIY guesswork. That's the gap we're filling.
Does that answer your question?
