Who We Are

Single Grain is an award‑winning digital‑marketing agency that’s helped companies like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce grow since 2009. We specialize in Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing, CRO—and we practice what we preach:

• 65K+ monthly blog readers
• 140M+ podcast downloads
• 180K+ YouTube subscribers

We also spun out Karrot.ai, a personalized LinkedIn ABM platform that lets B2B companies launch and scale ads in minutes, not weeks.

Who You Are

You turn cutting‑edge AI tools into an always‑on content machine. Avatars, cloned voices, and agentic workflows are your playground. You live for quantifiable impact—viral clips, rising watch‑time curves, and inboxes full of demo requests.

• Live short‑form: TikTok trends and algorithm tweaks are your morning scroll.
• Engineer virality: You prompt, stitch, and auto‑render without human bottlenecks.
• Own outcomes: Four clips a day is table stakes; compounding reach is the goal.
• Optimize relentlessly: 40%+ watch‑time, weekly data deep dives, rapid A/B of hooks.
• Stay unfazed: API outages and TTS glitches don’t break your stride.

Mission

Launch and scale an AI‑powered short‑form engine that drives ≥ 1 M organic views/month and delivers profitable B2B leads for Single Grain and Karrot.ai.
