AI Development Media Relations

Supporting AI go-to-market motions in 2026

Price:

  • $12,486 for the complete cohort marketing program

Program Overview

AI development doesn’t follow a traditional SaaS launch sequence. Cycles are open-ended, customer feedback drives the roadmap, and go-to-market motions evolve in real time. That shift creates competitive space, but only for companies that can build narratives as dynamic as their products.

A cohort-based marketing motion aligns media, messaging, and sales with how AI actually gets built and bought: through small groups of high-intent customers experimenting in parallel, shaping the story as they go.

Objectives

  • Establish a repeatable cohort marketing motion
  • Increase engagement with high-quality, collaborative customers
  • Accelerate internal alignment across product, marketing, and leadership

Cohort Identification & Definition

We start by finding the cohort that already exists, often hidden in your customer base, and giving it structure, language, and visibility.

  • Audit the customer base to identify existing or emerging “accidental cohorts”
  • Define the macro industry challenge and structural breakdown
  • Develop positioning for the cohort as an industry working group
  • Build a value proposition centered on collaboration, experimentation, and leadership
  • Design a messaging framework focused on customer outcomes and learning loops
  • Create a participant communication framework
  • Align internal teams across product, marketing, sales, and leadership
  • Develop core content assets: announcement, messaging, FAQs, program overview

Media Strategy & Sales

Cohorts give journalists what they want most: pattern, not pitch. We build the narrative architecture and the sales motion together so each reinforces the other.

  • Develop a narrative focused on industry challenge patterns and innovation gaps
  • Identify and engage key journalists and influencers
  • Create a framework for ongoing insight storytelling and reporting
  • Align sales on positioning and narrative tools

Deliverables

  • Cohort strategy brief
  • Onboarding and participant communications templates
  • Announcement materials — email, blog, social
  • Sales enablement materials
  • Media pitch framework and angles focused on industry transformation
  • Talking points, media management, and results distribution

Timeline

  • Week 1: Cohort identification
  • Week 2: Program messaging and asset creation
  • Weeks 3–4: Launch and recruitment
  • Week 5–8: Media relations wins and amplification

The Definers Episode 9: Doug Fritz and the Outsourced CTO (and AI)

In this episode of The Definers, Chris Gale sat down with Doug Fritz, Founder and Managing Partner of F2 Strategy, to see how their team has shaped the idea of the outsourced CTO in private capital. We invited Doug to explain how this role is evolving in the rapidly developing AI age, and why it’s becoming essential as firms move from AI enthusiasm to the harder realities of governance, integration, and scale. Together, they unpack the current AI cycle, from rapid code generation to new operational bottlenecks, translate emerging concepts into practical terms, and outline the strategies leading firms are using to navigate this shift. The conversation ultimately looks ahead to what’s next for AI in private capital and how leaders can position their organizations to thrive as the old playbooks give way to new operating models.
