Companies like Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Vanguard, UPS, and Home Depot are deploying Nadia at scale, and their stories represent some of the strongest proof points in the market.

What We're Looking For - 5+ years in customer marketing, advocacy, lifecycle, or product marketing. A portfolio of published case studies, video testimonials, or reference programs you've personally built carries real weight. - Natural commercial instinct. You think in terms of outcomes and relationships, not just checklists. - Sharp storyteller. You can spot which customer stories are worth investing in based on narrative potential and turn raw material into proof points that move deals. - Strong copywriter.

You've already built AI into your daily workflow and treat new tools as a first resort, not a novelty. You can point to specific things you've automated, accelerated, or improved with AI in the last six months. - Thrives in ambiguity without waiting for perfect information. Comfortable making a call, learning from it, and moving on. - Low ego, high ownership - especially when collaborating across multiple domains.
