Over the past few months, I’ve been deep diving into vibe coding — a faster, more intuitive way of building software that prioritizes taste, speed, and experimentation over bloated frameworks and traditional workflows.
What started as a creative detour quickly turned into a revelation.
Vibe coding isn’t just a new technique — it’s a mindset shift.
And I’m now convinced we’re about to see the same transformation hit marketing.
The old playbook — long timelines, big campaign launches, and rigid sign-off processes — doesn’t work anymore.
Why? Because the world it was built for no longer exists.
People don’t read your blog — they skim your headline in a feed
Search is being eaten by AI summaries and zero-click platforms
Distribution is algorithmic, fragmented, and real-time
SEO takes months — culture changes in hours
And most importantly: brand is the only real moat left
Modern marketing isn’t about who can write the longest plan — it’s about who can create momentum, quickly.
The people who are winning?
They’re not building campaigns.
They’re building automated, scalable content engines that move at the speed of culture.
Greg Isenberg put it perfectly:
Ships fast, learns faster
Uses AI agents to scale
Tests 50 angles, not 2
Builds once, distributes forever
This shift isn’t cosmetic. It’s foundational.
It’s not just about adopting new tools — it’s about thinking differently.
Let’s talk about vibe marketing — and why it’s the future.
What Makes a Good Vibe Marketer?
AI can generate content at scale.
What it can’t do is decide what’s actually good.
That’s where the vibe marketer comes in.
Vibe marketers don’t just chase algorithms — they shape them.
They know what resonates. They know what makes people care.
And they use that creative instinct to guide AI, not be replaced by it.
Here’s how they operate:
Sharp taste, clear point of view
Thinks in systems, not one-offs
Creates high-signal, zero-fluff content
Hooks attention in the first second
Builds once, distributes everywhere
Lets AI handle scale — and humans shape the story
They’re not campaign managers.
They’re editors-in-chief of their own content machines.
Old World vs. New World
Let’s draw a clear line:
The Old World:
Teams of 10+ specialists
Departmental silos
Campaigns that take weeks or months
Endless approvals and meetings
Guesswork and gut-feel decisions
The New World:
One sharp marketer + a smart AI stack
Dozens of ideas tested in real time
Content launched in hours, not weeks
Automated workflows replace admin
Taste-driven, data-informed systems
What used to take a team of ten now takes one creative operator and a few smart agents.
That’s not a threat — it’s an opportunity.
AI Is the New Marketing Stack
Marketers now have a stack — just like developers.
You don’t need a whole content team.
You need a system.
Want to research a niche? Use a research model.
Need a long-form article? Use a writing model.
Spinning out 50 angles for an offer? Done in minutes.
Repurposing content across platforms? Let your AI agents handle it.
The smartest marketers aren’t doing more work — they’re building smarter systems.
And then they focus on the one thing that AI can’t replicate: taste.
You’re not just a content creator anymore.
You’re a system designer. A vibe curator.
And you’re scaling your taste across every touchpoint.
The Future Is Already Here
If you’re still building one campaign at a time, you’re not just behind — you’re invisible.
The new marketing playbook is fast, lean, creative, and automated.
It’s powered by AI — but guided by instinct.
The marketers who thrive in this next era will be the ones who:
Move quickly
Trust their taste
Build smart systems
And scale with AI
The old way of marketing is dead.
Welcome to vibe marketing.
