The Playbook for AI Brand Building: brand strategy for founders
Seventy-six percent of new brand launches fail. At companies that run a formal staged process, that number drops to 6 percent. That gap is what The Playbook for AI Brand Building is built around.
What It Is
Andy Parton, founder of London AI marketing consultancy Destreza, launched the Playbook on September 30, 2026. It packages the brand-building workflow used by large consumer businesses into a self-guided course for founders and lean marketing teams. An agentic AI assistant (Claude or ChatGPT) runs the research and strategy work throughout, doing the tasks that would normally require an agency team.
The setup phase picks from 1,650 possible configurations to tailor examples, calculations, and AI briefs to the founder’s specific type of business. Four foundation modules cover core marketing principles updated for the AI era. Then come ten named stages: Evidence, Insight, Strategy, Brand, Identity, Connections, Design System, Launch, Retention, and Performance Cycle.
How the AI Is Used
Each stage gives founders briefs written for their own AI assistant. The briefs instruct the AI to source, date, and label every claim by how far it can be trusted, so founders can verify the output before acting on it. The end product is a Launch Book: every consequential decision, the evidence behind it, the assets it produced, and everything needed to go to market.
The Pricing Angle
Parton notes that running a comparable workflow inside a large business costs six or seven figures. Senior brand marketing consultants charge up to £2,500 a day, according to Destreza’s estimates. The Playbook is priced at less than the cost of one of those days, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Buyers need their own AI assistant subscription. A free trial covering the introduction, the personalised setup, and all of Stage 01 is available at theplaybookfor.ai with no card required.
Parton spent more than sixteen years building brands at Diageo and BAT across more than sixty global markets, and began working with AI in marketing in 2019.
