The Typing Problem

Campaign briefs that take longer to write than to conceive

You know exactly what the campaign should achieve. The target audience, the channels, the messaging pillars — it's all clear in your head. But translating that vision into a polished brief takes an hour of typing and formatting. By the time you're done wrestling with bullet points and headers, you've lost the creative energy that sparked the idea in the first place.

Cross-team emails that eat your mornings

Sales wants a campaign update. Product needs messaging alignment. The agency is waiting for feedback. Each email requires context, diplomacy, and clarity. You could knock out a quick reply in 30 seconds of talking, but typing it out with the right tone takes 10 minutes. Multiply that by 15 emails and your entire morning is gone before you've done any actual marketing work.

Performance reports that nobody has time to write

The data is in your dashboards. You can see what worked and what didn't. But turning those insights into a coherent report for leadership means an hour of typing, formatting tables, and crafting executive summaries. So the report gets pushed to tomorrow. And tomorrow. The insights go stale while you're drowning in other fires.

Vendor communications that pile up

The creative agency needs direction. The media buyer has questions about targeting. The influencer partnership needs contract clarifications. Each vendor conversation requires careful, professional communication. You know what to say — explaining it out loud would take two minutes — but writing it all out feels like a second job on top of your actual job.

Strategy documents that never get finished

You have the quarterly marketing strategy mapped out in your mind. The competitive positioning, the channel mix, the budget allocation — it all makes sense when you explain it in meetings. But getting it into a shareable document means hours of writing that you simply don't have. So the strategy lives in your head and your team operates on incomplete information.

Real Scenarios

Clearing your inbox before the morning standup

You have 12 emails requiring responses before the 9 AM meeting. Hold the button and respond to each one out loud: 'Thanks for the update. Let's move forward with option B. I'll loop in Sarah for the creative assets and we can target Thursday for the first draft.' Each email takes 15 seconds instead of 3 minutes of careful typing. Inbox cleared. Coffee still warm.

Writing performance reports while the data is fresh

The campaign ended yesterday and leadership wants results. Pull up your analytics dashboard and dictate the report in real-time: 'Q4 holiday campaign delivered 2.3 million impressions, exceeding our target by 15 percent. Click-through rate of 3.2 percent was our highest ever for this segment. Recommend reallocating 20 percent of Q1 budget to this channel based on these results.' Report drafted while you're still looking at the numbers.

Giving feedback to agencies without the back-and-forth

The creative agency sent mock-ups that need detailed feedback. Instead of typing cryptic comments, hold your hotkey and explain exactly what you're thinking: 'The headline on version two is stronger but the visual feels too cluttered. Can we simplify by removing the secondary CTA and increasing white space around the main offer? Also, the brand blue looks darker than our style guide — please match hex code 0066CC.' Clear direction in 20 seconds.

Documenting meeting insights before they fade

You just left a stakeholder meeting with a dozen action items and strategic pivots. Instead of trying to remember everything later, pull up your notes app immediately and dictate: 'CEO wants more focus on enterprise segment. Shifting 30 percent of budget from SMB campaigns. Need new messaging by end of month. Sarah to lead creative refresh. Follow up with product team about feature launch timing.' Captured in 30 seconds while still walking back to your desk.

Aligning cross-functional teams without endless typing

Product, sales, and marketing need to sync on the upcoming launch messaging. You could schedule another meeting, or you could send a comprehensive Slack message: 'Here is where we landed on positioning. Primary value prop is time savings, secondary is ease of use. Sales should emphasize the free trial in conversations. Product, we need the feature comparison chart by Friday. I will draft customer-facing emails by Monday.' Cross-team alignment in one spoken paragraph.

Creating social media content on the fly

An industry moment is happening and your brand needs to respond while it's relevant. Hold your hotkey and draft three LinkedIn post options: 'Option one takes a thought leadership angle. Option two is more casual and relatable. Option three directly ties to our product.' Each option dictated in 10 seconds. Pick the best one, make a quick edit, and publish while the moment still matters.
