Why we exist and what we do

If you run marketing today, you have two unpleasant options. Hire a traditional agency that's slow, expensive, and quietly using ChatGPT to draft your blog posts anyway — and charging you 2017 prices for it. Or try to keep up yourself, and discover that "keeping up with AI" is now a full-time job. New tools every week. Claude, Cowork, Cursor, n8n, Lindy, the next thing tomorrow. You'd need eight hours a day just to stay current, and you already have a job.

Most marketing managers we meet are exactly here. They know AI matters. They've tried a few things. But between briefs, reporting, agency calls, and actually shipping campaigns, there's no oxygen left to become a Claude Code power user on the side. That's the gap we built dopamin to fill.

We're an AI-first marketing agency. We use AI at every stage of the work — from research to content to optimisation — to do more, faster, for less. AI doesn't replace our team. It amplifies it. The result: agency-quality output, faster turnarounds, lower invoices, and pricing models that are sometimes tied to results instead of timesheets.

What "AI-first" actually means

Hiring a non-AI agency in 2026 is like hiring an accountant who refuses to use a calculator. They'll get to an answer eventually, but you're paying for their inefficiency. We rebuilt the agency on tools that didn't exist eighteen months ago — not bolted on, built in. Research, drafts, audits, iteration, reporting: the slow middle of agency work collapses, and the savings show up in your price, your speed, and your ability to test more ideas.

It also means we know what AI can't do yet. Pure AI content is slop, and search engines, customers, and your boss can all smell it. The skill is knowing where to press the button and where to keep humans in the loop. That judgment is most of what we sell. The tools are commodity. The taste is not.

VALUES

Our values

01
Plain language.
We don't talk about "synergies" or "paradigm shifts." We say what we mean, in words a normal person would use.
02
Measurable results.
Every project ties to a number you actually care about. If something isn't working, we tell you instead of dressing it up in a slide deck.
03
Fair pricing — and sometimes results-based.
We don't sell long contracts you don't need. For some scopes, we work on results-based pricing or a money-back guarantee. If we're confident enough to use AI to move faster, we should be confident enough to bet on the outcome.
04
Partnership, not service.
We want to understand your business well enough to give you advice you'd actually act on. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — and tell you what would be.

TEAM

The people behind dopamin

A small team where everyone is both a marketer and an AI engineer. No account-manager chain that hands your brief to a senior who hands it to an intern who hands it to ChatGPT.
