Marketing that makes the sale, built with AI.

Video ads, sales letters, on-camera AI presenter videos and the follow-up systems that turn a view into a booked call, built by someone who has sold for a living for twenty years and now runs the AI tools that make it fast. Priced flat per deliverable, quoted inside 24 hours. Want it to run without me? I'll audit how your business works, build AI systems around it, and train your team.

Silent loop of frames from the reel and the ad campaigns. Hover or tap to pause.
Twenty years of selling, not a tool demo

First business at 17, a video and social agency in the 2000s, quota-carrying sales, fifteen years in mortgage. The marketing comes from someone who has had to close.

Flat rate, script-first

One price, quoted within a business day, and you approve the script before production is paid for.

Built on my own businesses

The same funnels, videos and automations run my own offers, so the process has been tested with my money first.

Selected work

The creative is the media buy.

Most campaigns don't fail on targeting. They fail because the asset in the feed doesn't earn the second of attention it was given. Every piece below was made the way yours would be: script first, then AI production, then a cut built to earn the click. Tap any of them to watch.

Made for Ageless Energy, Little Torch Tales, GoHighLevel, Get Help Lending and LuiLui Restaurant, plus a Beats by Dre concept spot.

Ageless Energy: Singing VSL Ad

A full-length vertical sales ad, sung. It carries cold traffic from the hook through the mechanism to the offer. Written as a letter first, then produced across 23 scenes. The offer page, membership portal and follow-up behind it were built by me too, and the funnel is live now.

Get Help Lending: What Qualifies You for an FHA Loan

Paid social · static ad campaigns

Five ads. One belief each.

Static ad campaigns are the fastest thing I ship. Every campaign follows the same discipline: find the beliefs stopping a buyer, pick the five that matter, write one ad per belief, and deliver the set ready to upload in feed and story sizes. Tap any ad to see it as it would run, with the strategy behind it.

1 · Find the beliefs

List every reason a buyer says no, in their words: internal doubts, outside constraints, and doubts about the method itself.

2 · Pick five

Score each belief for curiosity, emotion and how hard it can be disproven with evidence. The top five become the campaign.

3 · One ad, one belief

Each ad opens with a triple hook (truth, proof, twist) and ends with a single call to action. Image and copy are built to test against each other.

Health & energy program · my own brand

Ageless EnergyLive campaign, my own brand

The core campaign for my own offer, live now. Five ads that reframe fatigue after 40 as a mitochondria problem, not an age problem, each attacking one belief from the research list.

SaaS · loan officer software

ReferralIQClient campaign

Trial-signup campaign for a referral-tracking app. Proof-heavy angles built on specific dollar figures a loan officer can picture in their own pipeline.

Health & energy program · my own brand

Ageless EnergyLive campaign, my own brand

A second angle set for the same offer: open on the symptom the buyer already feels (this is not normal, the healthy-diet trap, too tired to get healthy) instead of the mechanism.

Health & energy program · my own brand

Ageless EnergyLive campaign, my own brand

Ten listicle ads built from everyday objects so they stay safe in a restricted ad category and reach cold audiences. Six shown here; each also has a story-size cut.

Loan Officer LeadershipClient campaign

Lead-generation campaign for a free PDF aimed at loan officers. Every ad reframes the same lie, "I lose deals on rate," and points to the first call instead.

Michelle Palys Real EstateConcept campaign

Five belief-destruction ads for a luxury buyer's agent. Each one attacks a single reason a buyer hesitates: all agents are the same, the good homes are gone, Zillow is enough.

Practitioner-targeted ads for an 11-week clinical course. Five angles from "the industry lie" to "the transformation," each written for licensed clinicians, not consumers.

Five purchase barriers, five ads: affordability, winter capability, dealership dread, depreciation and the "sedans are not practical" myth.

Derek Tsakiris
Why hire me

The experience behind the AI.

I'm Derek Tsakiris. I started my first business at seventeen and have owned and run several since, including a social media and video marketing agency in the early 2000s, before either was a category. I spent years in quota-carrying sales across IT hardware, software and pharmaceuticals, and I've been in the mortgage industry for fifteen years. For the past couple of years I've been consulting on AI and teaching it. Today that experience runs through AI production and automation tools, and I use the same stack on my own offers. Clients get the judgement of someone who has had to make marketing pay, and the speed of the tools that now make it fast.

  • Twenty-plus years in sales and marketing before the AI, so the strategy comes first and the tools serve it.
  • I use this stack on my own businesses. You are not the experiment.
  • Fixed price and a delivery date in writing before anything is built.
  • Direct access to the consultant, not an account manager, and the script is approved by you first.
Age 17
Started my first business. Have owned and run several since.
Early 2000s
Founded a social media and video marketing agency, before either was mainstream.
Sales career
IT and computer equipment, software, then pharmaceutical sales. Quota-carrying, not theory.
15 years
Mortgage industry, where I still originate today and run my own marketing.
Now
AI consulting, training and production for business owners, alongside my own ventures.
Training

Learn to do this yourself.

Everything on this page can be taught. If you'd rather own the capability than rent it, I'll audit how your business runs, set up the systems that fit your workflow, and train you or your team on the exact tools I use, on your accounts, with your offers, until you're shipping without me.

  • Team workshop

    Half or full day · remote or on-site

    Your marketing team builds a real campaign during the session: ad creative, a video, a landing page and the follow-up automation. They leave with the work done and the process to repeat it.

  • Owner intensive

    One-to-one · two to four sessions

    For the owner or marketing lead who wants to run this personally. We build your first campaign together, then you run the next one with me reviewing.

  • Monthly advisory

    Standing call plus async review

    A second set of eyes after the training: I review what your team ships, answer questions between calls and keep the tool stack current so the capability sticks.

What your team leaves able to do
  • Produce ad creative and video with AI tools, without an agency
  • Build landing pages and follow-up automations inside your CRM
  • Build simple apps and internal tools with AI-assisted development
  • Run the intake, quoting and scheduling systems built for your workflow
  • Know which AI tools are worth paying for, and which aren't

What I can do for you

Three ways to put this to work.

Hire the creative on its own, add the systems that follow up behind it, or have me train your team to do all of it in-house. Every deliverable is a fixed price.

Creative core product

Creative that earns the click

Ad-ready video, sales letters and static creative that stop the scroll and carry a cold viewer to the offer.

Video sales letters, product spots, software explainers, AI presenter videos, static ad sets and the copy that runs with them. Written as a letter first, then produced with AI voice, presenters and generative visuals so a full campaign ships in days, not months.

  • Video sales letters

    Flat rate · quoted in 24h

    Full VSL production: letter written, voiceover produced, visuals cut and captioned. Delivered ad-ready with the script alongside it.

  • Explainer & software demo

    Product walkthroughs that show the thing actually working: simulated capture, animated cursor, lower-thirds, AI voiceover, legible with sound off.

  • AI presenter video

    Flat rate · quoted in 24h

    A realistic on-camera presenter, or a digital version of you, delivers your script. No filming, no studio day, and every future video looks and sounds consistent.

  • Static ad creative & copy

    Per set · quoted in 24h

    Image sets built in deliberate variations so hook, angle and offer get tested instead of guessed at, with primary text and headlines mapped to funnel stage.

  • Ideal client research

    Per profile · quoted in 24h

    Pains, objections, buying triggers and the exact words your buyer uses, documented properly. The input every other asset gets built from.

Systems

Systems and apps that answer every lead

Landing pages, CRM pipelines, automated follow-up and custom apps so the attention the creative buys turns into booked calls without you touching it.

Landing page buildouts, GoHighLevel and CRM automation, email and SMS sequences, AI agents that respond to inbound leads in seconds, and custom web apps and internal tools built with AI-assisted development. Built inside your platform or stood up on your own domain.

  • Landing page buildouts

  • Email & SMS sequences

    Per sequence · quoted in 24h

    Nurture, welcome, re-engagement and launch flows written and built: full copy, timing and branching, not a list of subject lines.

  • AI lead-response agents

    Inbound leads answered, qualified and booked by an AI agent inside your CRM within seconds, with hand-off rules you control.

  • Custom apps & internal tools

    Web apps, client portals, calculators, dashboards and internal tools built with AI-assisted development (vibe coding). Scoped in a day, quoted flat, delivered working on your domain or inside your stack.

Consulting & training

Consulting that makes the whole business run leaner

An audit of how your business actually operates, then AI systems built around your workflow and a team trained to run them, so people spend their time on the work only people can do.

I come into the business, map how work really moves from first enquiry to delivery, find where time and money leak, and build automations to your process rather than a template. Then I train your team so the capability stays in-house.

  • Operations & marketing audit

    Per audit · quoted in 24h

    I spend time inside your business and map how work actually moves: intake, quoting, scheduling, delivery, follow-up. You get a ranked list of where hours and money leak, and which fixes AI can own first.

  • Custom workflow systems

    Per build · quoted in 24h

    Automations built around your process, not a template: lead intake, quoting, scheduling, client onboarding, follow-up and reporting, wired into the tools your team already uses.

  • Team AI training workshop

    Per workshop · quoted in 24h

    A half-day or full-day hands-on session. Your team leaves producing ad creative, video and automations with the same tools I use, on your accounts, with your offers.

  • Owner intensive (one-to-one)

    Per intensive · quoted in 24h

    Working sessions for the owner or marketing lead. We build your first campaign or system together, then you run the next one with me reviewing.

  • Monthly advisory

    Monthly · quoted in 24h

    A standing call plus async review of what your team ships, so the capability sticks and the tool stack stays current.

  • AI implementation roadmap

    Per engagement · quoted in 24h

    A sequenced plan for putting AI to work across marketing and operations: tools, costs, owners and a first working build, so the decision is made on evidence.

How a project runs

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Approved before it's built.

Four steps, in this order, every time. Training and consulting follow the same shape: audit, fixed proposal, build, hand-over.

  1. 01

    Tell me what you need

    The offer, the audience and where the asset runs. Fifteen minutes, no discovery-call theater.

  2. 02

    Fixed quote

    A flat price and a delivery date back inside one business day. That number does not move once we start.

  3. 03

    Script first

    You approve the written script and shot plan before production begins, so nothing costly gets built in the wrong direction.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Final files in the formats you need, one revision round included, and the source scripts are yours to keep.

The no-risk part

You approve the script before production is paid for.

Every piece starts as a written script and shot plan. You read it, you change it, you sign off. If it doesn't land, you pay for the script and nothing else. That is how a fixed price stays fixed.

  • Script and shot plan approved by you before production starts
  • Flat price and delivery date agreed in writing, no hourly meter
  • One revision round on the finished piece, included
  • Source scripts and files are yours to keep
FAQ

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask first.

What does DTT Digital Marketing do?

DTT Digital Marketing, LLC is the consulting and creative studio of Derek Tsakiris. It produces video ads, video sales letters, software explainers, AI presenter videos and static ad campaigns; builds the landing pages, CRM automations and email and SMS sequences that follow up on the leads; audits how businesses operate and builds AI systems around their workflow; and trains business owners and their teams to produce the same work themselves.

What does AI marketing training look like?

Training is hands-on, not a slide deck. In a team workshop your people build a real campaign during the session, on your accounts and with your offers: ad creative, a short video, a landing page and the automation that follows up. Owner intensives do the same one-to-one over two to four sessions. Monthly advisory keeps it going afterwards with a standing call and review of what your team ships.

Can you make the business more efficient, not just the marketing?

Yes. An operations audit looks at how work actually moves through your business: how a lead comes in, how it gets quoted, scheduled, delivered and followed up. Derek then builds AI automations around that specific workflow, inside the tools your team already uses, and trains the team to run them. The goal is fewer hours on repetitive admin and more on the work only people can do.

Do you have case studies with numbers?

Not published yet. The Ageless Energy funnel launched in 2026 and its numbers will be shared as they come in; the LuiLui bumper became the most-played reel on the restaurant's Instagram. What you can check today is the work itself: every piece in the reel, a live landing page, and a script-first process where you approve the plan before production is paid for. On a call I'll walk through what each piece was built to do and what it has done so far.

What does an AI marketing consultant actually do?

An AI marketing consultant identifies where AI tools can replace cost, time or headcount in your marketing, then implements it. In practice that means auditing your offer, creative, funnel and follow-up, recommending a sequenced plan with real tool costs, building the first working version, and training your team to run it.

Can you build an app or an internal tool, not just marketing?

Yes. Alongside the marketing work, DTT Digital Marketing builds custom web apps, client portals, calculators, dashboards and internal tools using AI-assisted development, sometimes called vibe coding. A typical build is scoped in a day, quoted as one flat price, and delivered working on your own domain or inside the tools you already use.

How does fixed-rate pricing work?

Every deliverable is quoted as one flat price with a delivery date, inside one business day of hearing what you need. The price does not change once work starts. There are no hourly rates and no retainers unless you ask for ongoing advisory.

What is a video sales letter (VSL)?

A video sales letter is a scripted sales video that walks a cold viewer from a hook, through the problem and the mechanism that solves it, to a single offer and call to action. It is written as a letter first, then produced. DTT Digital Marketing writes the letter, produces the voice and visuals with AI tools, and delivers the finished video with the script, ready to run as an ad or on a landing page.

Is the video made with AI?

Yes, deliberately. Scripts and creative direction are written by a human. Voiceover, on-screen presenters and many visuals are produced with AI tools, which is how a full sales video or explainer ships in days at a fixed price rather than a five-figure production budget.

What is an AI presenter video?

An AI presenter video is a talking-head video where the person on screen is generated by AI. It can be a realistic stock presenter or a digital version of you, built from a short recording, that delivers any script you write afterwards. It replaces filming days and keeps every video consistent.

How fast is delivery?

A quote and delivery date come back within one business day. Typical turnaround after script approval is days for short-form spots and static creative, and one to two weeks for full video sales letters, landing pages and CRM buildouts. If you have a deadline, say so in the form and the quote will be built around it.

Can you work inside my existing platforms?

Yes. Landing pages and automations are commonly built inside GoHighLevel and other CRMs you already pay for, and creative is delivered in the placement ratios Meta, YouTube and TikTok require. If you have no platform, everything can be stood up on your own domain.
