A Chief Marketer NYC talk argues AI is ushering in the age of the "Super IC" — one marketer with outsized impact. New job titles like UGC Engineer, Copy Engineer, Marketing Engineer and Creative Strategy Engineer are already appearing in postings.
A concrete example: creative strategist Alysha used a single prompt to have AI search TikTok across 49 keywords, pull top videos by views and engagement over 30/90/180 days and all-time, and auto-save files, transcripts, creator handles, follower counts and top comments into organized folders. The takeaway: IC work is the new career flex.
