"Marketing Engineering": 11 drills to build marketing agents with Claude Code and GitHub
FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-10-09
The author argues that "marketing engineering" — built on just Claude Code + GitHub — can make marketers far more durable, and lays out 11 practice drills, including:
- Marketing agent: connect Meta/Google Ads with scheduled runs, budget caps and action logs. Check accounts hourly: pause ads with CPA 3x over target after 50 conversions, +20% budget for 3-day winners, write 3 new variants of the best ad, log every action with reasons to Slack.
- Programmatic SEO: turn 500 rows of city/product/comparison data into 500 reviewed pages with real data via Claude Code + GitHub + Vercel; monitor for 60 days and fix pages Google drops. Pages take an afternoon — the real work is data and QA.
- Batch AI video ads: with Veo, Seedance, Kling, ElevenLabs and batch scripts, one product image + a 30s script yields 100 UGC ads with varied hooks/voices/openers in 9:16 and 4:5. $20k studio shoots get 10 clips; the same API budget gets 1,000 — on Meta, accounts testing more creatives usually win.
- Clone competitor winners: scrape all ads from 30 competitors, keep those running 60+ days, rebuild with your own assets, upload paused. Run duration is the only public performance signal — two months running means it's profitable.
