FAQs

What exactly is Needle?

Needle is your AI-powered marketing team in one tab: a system that blends automation with human operators at key moments to give you speed without losing brand quality.

The AI connects to Shopify, Meta, and Klaviyo, reads what’s working, proposes campaign ideas, drafts creative, launches ads and emails, and learns from performance every week.

But it doesn’t run unchecked. Every brand gets a dedicated strategist who understands your tone, your edge, and your market. Creative designers and editors refine the AI drafts so your final creative is polished, on-brand, and rooted in taste rather than templates.

You get the efficiency of AI doing the heavy lifting and the judgment of experienced humans making sure nothing feels generic or off-brand.

Who is Needle for?

Needle is designed for DTC brands in fashion, beauty, pet, food, and lifestyle that have broken out of the early scrappy phase but haven’t yet built a full in-house marketing team.

Most of the brands we work with fall in the $1M–$10M annual revenue range, typically running lean teams of five to fifty people. They’ve proven product-market fit but are stuck in that familiar execution bottleneck where marketing is chaotic, multi-channel creative demands keep rising, and every new campaign takes more time than they can spare.

Our strongest customer bases are in the US, Australia, and Singapore — markets where competition is intense, agency costs are high, and brands need to operate with precision and speed.

How is Needle different from an agency, and why is it cheaper?

Agencies rely entirely on human labor, which makes them slow and expensive by design. Every report, brainstorm, asset, and campaign setup requires multiple people and multiple days. Because of this, they charge $3K-$10K+ a month just to keep the lights on, and you still end up doing revisions, giving direction, or waiting for bandwidth on their side.

Needle is built differently. The system automates the repetitive execution (data reading, idea generation, creative drafts, campaign setup, optimization) so humans can focus only on the high-value parts: brand taste, strategy, final polish, and approvals.

By letting the AI handle what agencies do manually, we cut out weeks of human effort and the overhead that comes with it. That’s why we’re able to deliver quality of the top agencies at roughly a third of the cost while being dramatically faster.

Will I lose control of my brand or creative?

Not at all. You approve absolutely everything before it goes live.

From the first week, you and your strategist input your brand's rules, imagery and footage into the system so every asset (whether AI-drafted or human-polished) reflects your tone, style, and standards.

The longer you use Needle, the sharper the system becomes at predicting what you’ll approve. Over time, you spend less effort reviewing because Needle increasingly aligns with your voice and what's working, but the control always stays with you. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.

How does Needle actually make you more money?

Needle makes brands more money by generating more, better content campaigns every single week. Because the system reads your data, spots patterns, and suggests what to launch next, you stop guessing and start compounding.

Campaigns go out faster, across more channels, with more creative variation (all tuned to what’s proven to convert). Brands consistently see cost-per-order fall, marketing efficiency rise, and revenue per email or ad grow because the system is always learning and sharpening what works.

Instead of the typical feast-and-famine marketing cycle, Needle builds a weekly rhythm where execution never slows down. That consistency is what drives real compounding returns. It’s how brands cut CPO nearly in half, sustain 6×–40× ROAS, and increase revenue by an average of 177% over twelve months.

More velocity, smarter iteration, and tighter execution in a world that keeps asking you to do more with less... that’s how the system pays for itself many times over.
