AI Growth & Marketing Consultant & Operator · for agencies + brands

I help you grow—
and I build the systems
that make it compound.

An independent AI growth & marketing consultant & operator — 20 years across global agencies (WPP, Publicis, Dentsu), SMBs, startups, and my own projects. Now I run the whole growth loop with a team of AI and Human specialists: signals, creation, campaigns, analytics.

The shift

AI made production cheap.Your tools pile up; a system doesn't.And the work with real budget on it —creator partnerships, paid media, content at volume —is exactly where AI is riskiest.

The cost of making things fell; what's scarce now is the system that runs it, and the judgment on top.I build the system, run it, and you get the outcome.

The system

One operator. The full growth loop underneath.

Not an agency, not a stack of tools. Signals in, campaigns out, analytics closing the loop — and it learns from every run. One composable system — powered by a team of AI + Human specialists — that absorbs new tech the week it ships and plugs in a deeper hand where the work needs one.

Why me

The part that's hard to copy.

The AI is the cheap part now. The system that runs it right — and the judgment on top — is what's scarce.

01

Built to not lie

When something can't be verified, it says so — never a made-up number. You can trust what you put your name on.

02

Judged by a human

A 20-year operator's taste sits on every output — and specialist collaborators complete the framework where it counts. The filter that catches the AI tell before it ever reaches you.

03

It compounds

The system learns from everything it runs. Sharper every week — on its own, while you sleep.

04

At the forefront

Solo means I run new models the week they ship, while big teams are still in procurement. New tech in, same day.

05 · Live

The system runs on me

My own brand is the test — content, campaigns, reports, signals, the whole loop, live across SoniaIA today. Scroll down and watch it run.

06

One system, not 14 tools

Signals, creation, campaigns and analytics on one composable engine. You hire the machine + the operator, not a pile of subscriptions.

Create · proprietary AI

Create worlds.

A consistent identity, and the consistent world around it — the light, the wardrobe, the feel of your brand — generated across any scene. Studio today, Ibiza tomorrow, a keynote next week, same person, same world. Every photo of me here came out of that pipeline.

Before you back a creator, validate them.

Creator Validator · live

Creator Validator

Real due-diligence before you commit to a creator — a qualitative judgment of whether they actually fit your brand as a partner, not just the follower count. Where they're really heading, who's really watching, and whether the fit holds — for a one-off campaign or the whole season.

For brands & agencies choosing creators — a campaign, a shortlist, or a full season.

Proof, not theory

It's running on my own brand right now.

Not just content — the whole loop, live on my own brand:

  • Content systems — daily multimedia across every channel: visuals, designed video and AI-avatar reels, written, rendered and posted without me in the loop.
  • Market intelligence — original research on first-party data, every number traceable, built to open doors with the people I want to work with.
  • Creator strategy — human-judged Creator Dossiers, the same engine I use to choose my own partners.
  • Paid media, run by agents — platforms connected, budgets read and optimized on a loop, only the decisions that matter reach me.
  • Analytics — daily campaign, web and social reporting in one read, the data points that need a decision flagged and delivered wherever I am.
  • SEO — weekly rankings, content gaps and authority tracked by agents, with an on-page audit gating every page before it ships.
  • Agent-ready search — the site built so search engines and AI answer engines can read it, cite it and recommend it.
  • Consumer signals — demand and conversations scanned live, so content and outreach land where interest already is.
  • AI infrastructure — a custom-built memory shared by every model I run, with daily model and tool monitoring so the system keeps improving itself.

How we work

One system. Two ways in.

For agencies

Plug it into your delivery.

I run my system alongside your team — managed or embedded. You keep the client and the relationship; I bring the engine and the judgment.

  • New capability — no hiring, no build
  • White-label, under your brand
  • You stay the client lead
Partner with me →
For brands

Hire the outcome.

I detect the signal, create the work, run and optimize the campaign, and read the result. Growth without building the AI stack yourself.

  • Signals, creation, campaigns, analytics
  • One operator, not a pile of tools
  • You get the result, not a repo
Hire the outcome →
Managed service. You get the result — not a repo to maintain.

The human stays the protagonist. AI is the amplifier — me on steroids, not a shortcut for slop. Tools for thinkers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Who is Sonia Tamayo?

Sonia Tamayo (Sonia Tamayo Díaz) is an independent AI growth & marketing consultant and operator based in Madrid, open to work worldwide. She builds and runs AI growth systems — detect, create, scale — for agencies and brands, with a team of AI and Human specialists. Her authority comes from 20 years across multinationals (WPP, Publicis, Dentsu), SMBs, and her own projects.

What's the difference between an AI operator and an advisor?

An advisor hands you a strategy and leaves. An operator sets the system up, runs it, and owns the outcome with you. SoniaIA builds and runs — it doesn't just recommend.

What's the AI growth system, and what's included?

One system running the full loop: DETECT (market, category and creator intelligence, signals, GA4/GSC analytics), CREATE (content, video, creative pipelines), SCALE (SEO, outbound, paid, distribution). Signals in, campaigns out, analytics closing the loop — and it learns each round.

Do you replace my team or work with it?

Work with it. The system is run by a team of AI and Human specialists and plugs into yours where the work needs a deeper hand. Leverage for your people, not a replacement.

How do engagements work?

Buy the system whole or one module at a time. The anchor is AI Growth Systems Consulting; the usual entry point is DETECT — industry, competitor or audience insights. Open now: AI-Ready SEO Audit, Viral Scripts, Multimedia Personal Brand Content, AI Avatar Strategy & Creation, Creator Validator — and the list grows as we open more modules. Scope is set on a call.

Why one operator instead of an agency?

An agency sells hours across a stack of tools. This is one composable system run by one operator. AI made the execution cheap — what you pay for is the judgment on top, the taste that catches the AI tell before it ships.
