SMAAI alternative for senior-led marketing execution
Levered is a SMAAI alternative for teams that want an experienced marketer to guide AI agents, evaluate their recommendations and complete the agreed marketing work.
Repairing tracking on an existing fintech website
A fintech infrastructure site had declining traffic, performance issues and broken tags. A full replacement was being considered, but the team first needed numbers it could use and improvements that could ship on the existing site.
The work restored tracking and consent behavior, added a persistent demo path and captured the originating page in contact forms. Five homepage directions and a migration plan were prepared. The full rebuild was awaiting a budget decision.
Anonymized website work delivered through a consulting partner. Full rebuild did not launch; no measured traffic or conversion lift claimed.
