An AI marketing manager that keeps the plan moving.
It keeps the campaign calendar, reads your analytics and ad accounts for the weekly report, and writes the briefs your writers and designers work from. You message it like a colleague, and it asks before anything leaves the team.

What is an AI marketing manager?
An AI marketing manager is an agent that runs the operating side of marketing: the campaign calendar, the weekly performance report, the briefs for writers and designers, and the checklist for each launch. Cicada's reads your connected analytics and ad accounts without changing them, keeps the plan in a shared sheet, and writes briefs as documents your team can open. You reach it in Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email, it remembers your channels, goals and rules, and anything that goes to another person waits for your OK.
What your AI marketing manager does.
Keeps the campaign calendar
One shared Google Sheet with every launch, email, post and event by week, with owner and status. It updates it from what the team says in Slack and flags what's slipping.
Writes the weekly report
Reads Google Analytics, your ad accounts and your email platform every Monday and writes what changed, why, and what to look at. Read-only: it never touches a campaign or a budget.
Briefs writers and designers
A one-page brief for every piece: goal, audience, key messages, format, deadline and links to what came before. Delivered as a document in your brand.
Runs launch checklists
Turns a launch date into a checklist in Asana, Notion or a sheet, with the owners you name, and tells you each morning what's due and what's late.
Watches competitors
Checks competitors' sites, pricing pages and announcements with its own browser on a schedule, and tells you when something changes.
Takes the meeting notes
Joins the marketing review on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams as a notetaker and posts the decisions and owners to the channel when it ends.
Who hires an AI marketing manager.
Marketing before your first marketer
A calendar, a weekly report and briefs for freelancers, without a full-time hire yet.
Monday's report already written
The numbers from every channel in one message before the team meeting, with what changed and why.
A second pair of hands
The calendar, the briefs and the checklists, so the week goes into the work itself.
One report per client
Each client's analytics read on schedule and written up in their own sheet, ready to send after your check.
Launches that don't drop a step
A checklist per launch, owners chased, the landing page brief and the sales one-pager drafted.
Promotions on one calendar
Sales, emails and posts lined up by week, with Shopify and the email platform read for the recap.
Set up in three steps.
Say what the job is
Describe the role in a sentence when you sign up, or tell the agent in the chat. It writes its own brief, which you can read and change any time.
Connect the apps it needs
One click for most apps. Each one can be Full, Ask first or Read-only, for every agent in the workspace.
Link your phone, or don't
Scan a code and it's in your iMessage or WhatsApp. Or keep it in the app, Slack and email. Hand it the first job in the same message.
Nothing goes out without your yes.
Nothing goes out without your yes
Anything that can't be undone, and any message to another person, waits for your OK. Approve with a 👍 in the chat, or set a role to full autonomy once you trust it.
Read-only is a real lock
Make any app read-only and the agent can look but never change a thing. It applies to every agent in the workspace, from their next run.
Every step on the record
Each run shows what it read, what it did and what it sent, step by step, in the Activity tab. Corrections you make stick.
What it won't do.
Won't pretend
If it couldn't confirm something, it leaves it out and says so. A number without a source doesn't go in a message.
Won't go around you
It never messages anyone on your behalf unless you asked, never spends money, and never makes a judgement call about money on its own.
Won't read what isn't shared
Teammates' agents work only through the apps the workspace shares. Your inbox and your personal apps stay under your own login.
Three ways to run the marketing week
| Task | Doing it yourself | A marketing dashboard tool | An AI marketing manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly report | Half a Monday in five tabs | Charts you still have to read | Written up: what changed, why, what to check |
| Campaign calendar | A sheet that goes stale | Not covered | Kept current from what the team says in Slack |
| Briefs | Written when there's time | Not covered | One page per piece, in your brand, on request |
| Launch checklist | A doc nobody updates | Not covered | Tasks with owners, chased each morning |
| Competitor changes | Noticed by accident | Not covered | Checked on a schedule, reported when they change |
| Where it happens | Your laptop | Another login | Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email |

Frequently asked questions.
Where do I talk to it?
Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email or the web app. In a team channel it stays quiet until someone names it, then answers in the same thread.
Does it run or buy ads?
No. It reads your ad accounts for the report, read-only, and never creates a campaign, changes a budget or spends money. Changes to ads stay with a person.
Which numbers can it report on?
Whatever you connect: Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, your email platform, Shopify. If a number isn't in a connected app, it says so instead of guessing.
Will it message my team or freelancers?
Only when you ask. A brief or a nudge to another person waits for your OK in the chat, and you can make any app read-only.
Can it make the assets too?
It writes the briefs and can make one-pagers, decks and images with its image generation. Design work in a design tool stays with your designer.
How does it learn how we work?
It keeps a memory of your goals, channels, people and rules that you can read and edit in the Brain tab. Corrections you give it in the chat stick.
Is it one agent or several?
Start with one. For a big job it can hand parts to specialists it coordinates, one on the report and one on the briefs, and you still get one answer back.
Can my team use it too?
Yes. Everyone in your workspace gets their own agent. Shared apps are connected once for the team; personal apps like your inbox stay under your own login.
What does it cost?
Every workspace starts with 300 free credits. You add a card at sign-up and nothing is charged until you run low; then it's $25 for 200 credits, with no subscription. A quick reply is about 5 credits and a typical run under 20; plans start at $99 a month.
