The Challenge

THE PRODUCT WAS BUILT.
THE GO-TO-MARKET WASN'T.

Tasklet AI launched out of beta in October 2025 into one of the most competitive categories in tech. The product was strong. But before raising the next round, the team needed to prove scalable CAC. Real unit economics investors could underwrite, not vanity metrics. Founder-led marketing wasn't going to get there fast enough.

THE WORK

4-WEEK SPRINT. REAL GTM DATA.

Pixel built Tasklet AI's customer acquisition engine. 67 ad variations tested across multiple ICPs and channels. Which positioning converts. Which ICPs deliver the best CAC. Where the LTV justifies the spend.

Structured Testing

Every variation designed to test a hypothesis. Different ICPs, different positioning, different channels. Which ICPs convert, where to invest the next dollar. Data, not guesswork.

Full-Time Growth Team

Pixel now runs Tasklet AI's creative, ads, and paid growth as they scale into AI's breakout moment.

The Advantage

WIN THE MARKET.
DON'T OUTSPEND IT.

Your competitors are hiring 20-person growth teams. You don't need to. Pixel gives you Fortune 500 creative and growth capability in weeks, not quarters. Same firepower. Fraction of the cost. You don't outspend the market. You out-create it.

Platforms optimize targeting and bidding. Creative is the only lever left. That's why every startup running the same templates hits the same ceiling. Pixel's creative was built over a decade launching products for Canon, Bose, Panasonic, and JBL. Across studios in New York, San Francisco, and Saigon.

WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE

Canon vs. Sony - Same playbook. Different category

In 2021, Sony led the mirrorless camera market. Canon was the challenger. Pixel built the GTM strategy that flipped the category. Not a bigger budget. A smarter one. By 2024, Canon led Sony by 26%.

+75%

Canon growth under Pixel

+16%

Sony in the same period

HOW WE WORK

POSITIONING. CREATIVE. GROWTH.

We built this for Tasklet AI. We'll build it for you. One team. Under one roof. No handoffs between agencies, freelancers, or vendors.

POSITIONING

We test who to target and what to say. Real spend, real audiences. You get the data investors actually ask for.

CREATIVE

Ads that cut through because they're built by the same team that launched Canon, Bose, and JBL. Not templates. Not stock.

GROWTH

Paid, organic, lifecycle. We run it, optimize it, scale what works. You run your company.

THE WINDOW IS NOW

AI compressed the competitive window from 18 months to 6. Whether you're proving demand before your next raise or scaling acquisition after it, we build the engine.

Most engagements start with a 4-week sprint. No long-term contracts. No 90-day onboarding. Real spend, real data, real answers.
