Tack Media
Get Run — Fractional CMO & AI Integration
We’ve been in the trenches since 2009. Not a skeleton crew.
The short answer
We’ve been in the trenches since 2009. Not a skeleton crew. Not an overnight agency. Real people, real work, real accountability. We don’t disappear when things get hard, and we’re not yes-people — if something’s bad for your brand, we’ll say so.

Sixteen years of clients who stayed is the only proof worth anything.
In plain language
What this actually means.
AI integration means wiring a language model into the systems your business already runs on — your CRM, your phone line, your inbox, your ticket queue — so it does a specific job with your data, under your rules. It is not a chatbot bolted onto a website. It is a process that used to need a person, running against your records, with a log of every decision.
What it is built with
The actual stack.
Named, not implied.

What it connects to
Tools and apps we integrate with.
If it has an API we have probably already wired it. If it does not, we will tell you before you buy it.

The kinds of integrations we build
Concrete, not conceptual.
01
Inbound call → CRM
An AI receptionist answers, qualifies, books into Calendly and writes the deal into HubSpot with a transcript attached.
Twilio + Claude + HubSpot02
Form fill → routed lead
Every submission is enriched, scored against your ICP and routed to the right rep in under ten seconds.
Webhook + n8n + Salesforce03
Inbox → ticket
Support mail is classified, drafted and queued for one-click send. Humans approve, the model does the typing.
Gmail API + Zendesk04
Documents → structured data
Contracts, invoices and intake forms become rows. No re-keying, no offshore data entry.
Vision model + Airtable05
Quote request → priced proposal
Pulls live pricing and past deals, drafts the proposal, flags anything outside policy for a human.
pgvector + Stripe + PandaDoc06
Reviews → replies
Drafts an on-brand response to every Google and Yelp review, holds anything under three stars for you.
Google Business Profile APIQuestions people actually ask
Straight answers.
Including the price ones.
What does an AI integration actually cost to run?
Two numbers: the build, and the monthly token and platform spend. Most of what we ship runs between $30 and $400 a month in model costs. We show you the per-transaction cost before you approve the build, not after.
Do you use our data to train a model?
No. We use retrieval, not fine-tuning, for almost everything — your data stays in your database and is passed to the model at question time. Enterprise API tiers at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google contractually exclude your inputs from training.
What happens when the model gets it wrong?
Anything that costs money or touches a customer goes through an approval step until it has earned the right not to. Every run is logged with its inputs, its output and who approved it.
How long does a first integration take?
Two to six weeks for a single workflow, depending on how clean the source system is. The bottleneck is never the model — it is your data.
Do we own it?
Yes. Your accounts, your API keys, your repository, from day one. If you fire us the thing keeps running.
Where we measure it
Visibility isn't one place any more.
Every answer engine builds its index differently. We track them separately, because they behave separately.

We've been doing search
since 2009.
Four algorithm eras. This is the fifth. We know which parts matter and which parts are noise, because we were here for the last four times everyone said search was dead.
We're not yes-people. We're going to do what's good for your brand.

FAQ’s
We’ve been in the trenches since 2009. Not a skeleton crew. Not an overnight agency. Real people, real work, real accountability. We don’t disappear when things get hard, and we’re not yes-people — if something’s bad for your brand, we’ll say so.
No. You keep your team. We add the specialists you’re missing — strategy, content, video, social, automation, performance — working inside your existing process. No hiring, no overhead, no fragmented freelancers.
We’re integrators, not trainers and not evangelists. We wire AI into the workflows where it actually saves your team hours, and we leave it out of the places it makes the work worse. AI made us faster. It didn’t make us new.
Most engagements start inside two weeks. Discover first — your brand, your team, your gaps — then the playbook, then execution.
