Project Summary

Adopter, a B Corp certified marketing agency specialising in green technology and climate solutions, approached OpenKit for strategic AI consulting. As a company deeply committed to helping climate change solutions gain market adoption, Adopter needed expert guidance to navigate the opportunities and risks of generative AI while maintaining their mission-driven approach.

The Challenge

Adopter faced a dual challenge: some clients were using AI to imitate their unique marketing work, while the team needed to understand how to effectively leverage AI themselves. As a B Corp green-tech marketing agency, they required practical prompt engineering knowledge to enhance their services without compromising their authentic, value-driven approach.

Additionally, Adopter was applying for a prestigious Cambridge business accelerator and needed expert guidance to effectively articulate how AI could enhance their business model and market opportunities in their application.

The Strategic Challenge of Responsible AI Adoption

For mission-driven agencies like Adopter, AI adoption isn't just about capability—it's about maintaining authenticity and trust while enhancing service delivery. The challenge lies in distinguishing between AI applications that add genuine value and those that might compromise the personal, consultative approach that clients value.

The Key Challenges

AI Imitation Concerns: Clients were potentially using AI to imitate Adopter's unique marketing work, threatening their competitive advantage and brand differentiation.
Prompt Engineering Expertise Gap: The team needed practical knowledge of how to effectively structure prompts for large language models to generate quality marketing content.
Business Opportunity Clarity: Required thorough understanding of which AI applications would genuinely benefit their green-tech marketing without compromising their authentic approach.
Accelerator Application Support: Needed expert guidance to articulate AI opportunities for their Cambridge business accelerator application.

Generic AI consulting wasn't sufficient for Adopter's specific position as a B Corp serving climate technology companies. They needed guidance that understood both the technical capabilities of AI and the importance of maintaining authentic, value-driven client relationships.
