AI quick start
Three ways to get started with AI
I'm Ben Afia and I make brands more distinctive with AI. 30 years in brand, culture and change. Here are a couple of things to help you today.
Teach AI your voice
I'll help you create a custom prompt that turns any AI into your personal writing assistant. You'll go away with something you can use straight away.
Brand+AI newsletter
A monthly newsletter for brand and marketing leaders who want AI to amplify what makes them distinctive, not bland.

1:1 AI Coaching
£400
An hour with me on whatever's stuck.
Bring me your sharpest AI question - the thing you can't decide, the tool you're not sure about, the workflow you want to fix. We'll dig into what's going on and explore your options. Then I'll send you a write-up with your next steps.
You get
• An hour of focused thinking on your specific situation
• A written summary within 48 hours, capturing what we covered
• Specific next steps you and your team can act on this week
Opportunity Scan
£3,000
A few days
Find out where AI will pay back most.
A 90 min session followed by an AI opportunity report report mapping how your team actually works, and how they can work better. The workflows. The bottlenecks. The places AI could save real time and real money. And the places it's just hype, so you don't waste time or money.
You get
- A clear map of where AI fits and where it doesn't
- Use cases ranked by what they'll bring back and what they'll cost
- A short report you can share with your team and act on

- A presentation that brings your leadership team along
Strategy Sprint
£15,000
1-2 months
Working pilots, governance, and a team ready to move.
The Blueprint plus action. We build 2 or 3 pilot AI agents to prove value. Set up governance that keeps you on-brand at scale. Plan the change journey so your people come with you, not get bulldozed.

A bit about me
I help brand directors and CMOs scale AI across their teams - without losing what makes them distinctive. The right mix of human and machine. Built on your brand, not against it.
I've spent 30 years helping brands like Aviva, Vodafone, E.ON and Google grow through change. Now I help them grow through AI.
