KSIG connects the creative work with your website and client workflows where scoped. Karl Ohlemann’s BlackBoxx.ai systems lab supports technology development and practical AI experimentation when relevant to the engagement.
We agree the brief, responsibilities, budget and approval points before work begins. Your team reviews creative and publication decisions. Ongoing content, channel management, subscriptions and paid advertising are included only where specifically agreed. Marketing work does not guarantee leads, revenue or other business outcomes.
