AI marketing automation at work

Audi, upgraded

Within our roadmap for marketing automation, this nationwide Audi leasing campaign marks the first tangible outcome. It’s built on a custom-made, deeply AI-fueled production setup that paves the way for a new era of workflow and tooling.

AI, all in

While delivering banners, print ads, and radio spots, we carved out Audi’s first AI-tooled, end-to-end production flow for speed and impact.

The bigger picture

We work with a high-level framework for AI marketing automation: ROUTE. It connects every step of marketing operations with AI, turning campaigns into scalable systems.

Zooming back in

Working with visual AI tools without altering the product is a challenge. So we built a multilayered process that transforms raw car renderings into lifelike imagery.

Since there is no industry standard for this, we created our own bespoke setup that keeps every detail true while making production radically faster.

Beyond artificial

Audi’s iconic design sets the highest bar for visual accuracy. Each contour, each reflection calls for respect and precision.

Project Overview

Balancing Soul & System in e-commerce: For Germany’s leading online retailer, we embraced a content-led approach to fashion, and effectively brought curation and marketing automation together.

A Nobel Prize-rooted quantum startup, reborn as zerothird—we created the new name, crafted the brand story, and developed a design system to work fluidly across touchpoints.

For the global e-health company CGM, we designed the brand “CGM one” which bundles AI-powered software to simplify and secure practice workflows.

We refreshed The DO, a consultancy that helps organizations drive change from within. The new platform brings their method to life.
