Marketing × AI × Systems
The Augmented CMO
Yanqi Wang
Where AI meets brand strategy. I build the agentic infrastructure that runs modern marketing.
Marketing has a new operating system.
I build agentic marketing systems - AI-driven pipelines that execute campaigns, generate content, and optimize performance autonomously.
For founders and CEOs who want to 10x their marketing output without scaling headcount.
What I Do
Agentic Marketing Systems
AI-driven pipelines that execute campaigns, generate content, and optimize performance autonomously. From ideation to deployment - without the overhead of traditional marketing teams.
Performance Marketing
Data-first acquisition, conversion, and growth. Systematic approaches to paid media, analytics, and funnel optimization that compound over time.
Brand Strategy & Creative Direction
Identity, positioning, and narrative architecture. Building brands that resonate and differentiate in crowded markets.
How I Think
80/20 Principle
Focus on the 20% of inputs that drive 80% of results. Ruthless prioritization over busywork.
First Principles
Break problems down to their fundamental truths. Rebuild from the ground up instead of reasoning by analogy.
Systems Thinking
See the whole, not just the parts. Understand feedback loops, delays, and unintended consequences.
Theory of Constraints
Identify and optimize the bottleneck. Everything else is noise until the constraint is addressed.
Second-Order Thinking
And then what? Consider the consequences of the consequences before acting.
Leverage
Maximize output per unit of input. Build systems that scale without linear effort.
About
Born in Shanghai. Now based between Shanghai, Vancouver, and Toronto - wherever the most interesting problems are being solved.
My background is in philosophy (UCLA), which taught me how to think clearly about complex systems and first principles. I apply that same rigor to marketing - treating it as an engineering problem rather than a creative guessing game.
Today, I build at the frontier of AI and marketing. I believe the future CMO isn't a person managing a team of 50 - it's a strategist orchestrating a network of intelligent agents. I'm building the infrastructure to make that possible.
