AI Marketing, Human Expertise
We're not AI evangelists. We're marketing practitioners who've seen what works, what doesn't, and how to bridge the gap between AI hype and business reality.
Why We Started Three18 Media
Three18 Media was founded on a simple observation: most businesses know AI will transform marketing, but very few know how to make it happen.
We saw too many companies buying tools they couldn't use, running "AI experiments" that never scaled, or worse—producing generic AI content that damaged their brands.
Our background is in enterprise delivery—complex transformations, rigorous methodologies, measurable outcomes. We've applied that discipline to AI marketing, creating approaches that actually work for businesses with real constraints and real objectives.
The name? It's a reference to three-eighteen—the beginning of something valuable. Every great marketing outcome starts with the right foundation.
What Makes Us Different
Enterprise Experience
We've delivered complex programmes for global organisations. We bring that rigour and reliability to every engagement, regardless of size.
Practitioner-Led
We're not theorists. Our team has hands-on experience in marketing operations, technology implementation, and AI development.
Outcome-Focused
We don't sell hours or tools. We agree on outcomes and work backwards to what's needed to achieve them.
Leadership
Alex Thompson

How We Work
Honesty Over Hype
AI isn't magic. We're straight with you about what's possible, what's practical, and what's not worth your time.
Outcomes Over Activities
We measure success by your results, not our deliverables. If it doesn't drive outcomes, we don't do it.
Capability Over Dependency
Our goal is to make ourselves unnecessary. We build your capability alongside delivering results.
Progress Over Perfection
Done is better than perfect. We ship, learn, and improve—rather than planning forever.
