AI is powerful. We make it practical.
We make AI work for marketing and comms teams.
Not the other way around.
Most teams have AI now, but few have AI that changed the work. We close that gap with strategy, training, and the systems that make AI how you operate.
Wherever you are with AI,
we meet you there.
Some teams are rolling AI out across an enterprise. Some are launching AI-native startups from day one. Others have the tools but need a plan, the workflows, and the skills to actually use them.
We help all three, and it always comes down to the same thing. AI works best when it's built around the people using it.
AI Transformation and Change Management
We help enterprise firms develop and implement effective AI change management strategies, ensuring that AI adoption becomes a competitive advantage rather than a compliance burden.
Narrative
and
Growth Engine
For startups, we provide fractional marketing and communications leadership to build a compelling narrative and launch an AI-native growth engine, ensuring your product stands out in the market.
AI Enablement
and
Training
We come in when teams are stuck at "AI for content" and want more. We train your people, redesign the workflows so they fit how you actually work, and leave behind a champion who keeps the momentum going.
Need marketing and communications support,
not a transformation?
Sometimes you need a strategic partner, before you are ready to rethink the function. We still do the foundational marketing and communications work for teams that need it today.
Here's what practical AI looks like.
From one contractor to a full marketing engine.
A small business came to us with one contractor and a backlog. We built them a marketing function that now produces sales collateral, responds to RFPs in days instead of weeks, and is launching an AI-powered service offering to pharma companies.
B2B life sciences firm
From training to first-to-market in five months.
We trained a content agency on AEO and the new rules of AI-driven brand discovery. Five months later, they brought a first-of-its-kind AI visibility solution to market.
B2B content agency, mid-market
A CEO who's ready before the crisis hits.
We built AI-simulated crisis scenarios so a CEO could practice high-stakes communication before the real thing. Sharper response times, tighter messaging, and confidence that the company's voice would hold up under pressure.

What changes when AI is done right?
We don't just put AI to work. We empower the people doing the work. When we're done, the tech runs seamlessly, your team uses it confidently, and your function moves forward stronger than it was.
About us
Built by a marketing and comms practitioner, not an engineer.
Most people helping marketing and comms teams with AI come from technology backgrounds. Leah M. Dergachev, Austley's founder, comes from decades of doing the work. She has led marketing and communications across agencies, in-house teams, healthcare, technology, government, and non-profits, then turned that practitioner lens toward AI. Austley helps your team because we've been your team.
What types of AI trainings do you offer?
We offer AI workshops, custom team trainings, executive enablement for CMOs and CCOs, and our AI Champion Program for designated team leads. Sessions range from a single workshop to multi-week training programs with workflow redesign included. Every training is tailored to your team's tools, roles, and current AI maturity, so no two engagements look the same.
Do you work with small teams or only enterprise companies?
Both, and they're not always the same thing. Team size and company size are different variables. We work with five-person startup marketing teams, ten-person communications groups inside Fortune 500 companies, and enterprise functions rolling out AI across the entire organization. The work scales to your team's goal and AI maturity, not your company's logo. If you are a small team inside a big firm, that is a real and common engagement for us.
We already have AI tools. How is what Austley does different?
Most AI companies use an engineering lens and translate the technology for marketing and communications teams. Austley comes from inside the work. With its founder having decades of marketing and communications leadership, Austley focuses on the human side of AI adoption. The tools matter, but the people, workflows, and culture are what actually make AI change the work.
Do you only work with marketing and comms teams, or the whole company?
We start with marketing and communications because that is our craft. Our enterprise change management work goes broader though. When a company is implementing AI across the organization, we help shape the internal narrative, train cross-functional teams, and align stakeholders. Every part of an AI rollout has a marketing and comms angle, and that is where we live.,
Outside of AI, do you also offer full-service marketing and communications support?
Yes. Not every team is ready to tackle AI today, and we get that. Austley offers full-service marketing and communications, including PR and media relations, content strategy and production, website design and copy, internal communications, growth marketing, marketing operations, CRM implementation, and brand strategy. When you need a strategic marketing or comms partner, with or without the AI lift, we're still here to help.
Do you only work with companies, or can individuals work with Austley too?
Learn MoreWe work primarily with teams and enterprises through Austley. For individual marketing and communications professionals who want to sharpen their own AI fluency, our coaching program lives inside The MarComm Grind, the free community we run for marcomm pros. It's a paid program designed for individuals (in-house, independent, fractional) who want one-on-one support without an organizational engagement. Spots are intentionally limited so each engagement gets real depth.
