The problem

The content existed.
It just wasn't accessible.

Marketing produced assets consistently. The sales team needed them constantly. But the only distribution channel was a WhatsApp group where everything mixed together: files, reactions, text messages, and more files.

The content was there, somewhere. Getting to the right piece at the right time was another matter entirely.

Building the acquisition engine

A beautiful website means nothing without the infrastructure to turn visitors into qualified leads. Before designing a single screen, I mapped the full acquisition journey and built every piece of it.

The foundation

Working from a new visual identity developed internally, I designed and built an entire new site with CMS-powered blog, per-segment product pages, and a landing page template system reused across all campaigns.

GROWTH & SCALING

Turning traffic into pipeline

I architected the complete lead generation infrastructure: tracking forms with UTM parameters feeding HubSpot CRM, automated nurturing workflows, and conversion-optimized landing page templates for Meta and Google Ads.

Built to be consistent, measurable, and iterable.

Together, paid media and SEO scaled the site's traffic from roughly 3K to over 40K+ monthly active users. As the strategy matured, optimization expanded into AEO and GEO, positioning CARBON directly inside AI-driven responses from Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Overviews.

the ai agent

The bottleneck wasn't acquisition

CARBON was generating thousands of contacts, but SDRs spent most of their time manually disqualifying leads that were never going to buy.

So I designed and deployed a conversational AI agent on WhatsApp that handles every inbound lead before it reaches a human.

Disqualifies ineligible leads automatically (vehicle age, wrong service, no response).

Scores qualified leads by purchase readiness so SDRs prioritize the right conversations.

Routes every lead based on context. Not just filtering, but understanding intent and responding accordingly.

Result: SDRs no longer qualify manually. They enter the conversation where it already makes sense.
