How to Become Your Own AI Marketing Agency

Most people think you need a team, office, and round-the-clock hustle to run a successful agency. Todd Krise is here to challenge that. In this session, he shares how he left traditional agency life to build a solo business powered by AI and built for freedom. You’ll walk away knowing how to launch your own setup—tools, processes, and mindset included. But this isn’t about going it alone. Todd will also introduce a growing network of like-minded marketers— what he calls “mercenaries”—who are building their own lean operations while tapping into shared tools, knowledge, and accountability. No gatekeeping, no fluff—just a smarter way to do great work and keep clients close. Whether you're freelancing, transitioning out of a full-time role, or looking to simplify what you've already built, this session is your starting point for building a business that's both flexible and real.
