Frequently asked
Can AI write marketing copy?
Mark generates first drafts using your brand guidelines and product context. You review and refine. It's not replacing a creative director - it's eliminating the blank page problem and giving you something to react to.
What about brand strategy?
Brand strategy is still yours. Mark helps execute your vision: turning your positioning into launch messaging, your strategy into campaign briefs. The strategic thinking stays with you.
Should I use Mark or hire an agency?
Use Mark when: budget is tight, you want control, you need product-marketing coordination. Use an agency when: you have $5K+/mo budget, need full creative services, or have proven channels to scale. Many founders start with Mark, then add agency support for specific campaigns.
How does Mark learn my brand voice?
Mark analyzes your existing content - website copy, past emails, social posts - to understand your tone, style, and vocabulary. You can also provide explicit brand guidelines. Over time, Mark learns from your edits to generated content, improving with each iteration.
What marketing channels does Mark support?
Mark generates content for email, social (Twitter/X, LinkedIn), blog posts, changelog entries, and in-app messaging. It coordinates launch campaigns across these channels. For paid ads, Mark can draft copy but execution happens in your ad platforms.
Can Mark schedule and publish content?
Mark drafts and coordinates content but requires your approval before publishing. You can integrate with scheduling tools (Buffer, Hootsuite) for the publishing workflow. This keeps you in control while eliminating the content creation bottleneck.
How is this different from ChatGPT for marketing?
ChatGPT requires you to prompt it every time with context. Mark has persistent knowledge of your product, brand, and release history. When you ship a feature, Mark already knows how to position it. No re-explaining your product every conversation.
