AI Studio: "AI agents, creative intelligence and design experts deliver campaign-ready assets in hours, not weeks. No prompt engineering. No agency timelines." AI agents run production, senior designers review every asset before delivery. Pay for output, not per hour.
Superside is a subscription creative agency, not a SaaS tool. They frame on pay-for-output vs subscription+hourly overage, 1-8hr vs days-to-weeks, no peak surcharges, opt-in renewal. They have chosen services companies as the competitive set.
Who founded it
Co-founder. Low public profile; appears in event travel posts alongside Satej rather than posting himself.
Runs the company and is its single best media asset. Ex-AWS and Microsoft. His personal profile outperforms the brand account roughly 4x, but he posted only four times in 2026.
Who runs it
The shape of the org tells you the motion. Read the titles, not the headcount.
Carries global sales from New York. His location is the clearest signal that the enterprise motion is US-first.
Owns field marketing and demand across North America and Europe. Title literally reads Field & Demand, which is why events dominate their pipeline. Runs the Vendelux-driven event selection.
Nine years at the company and the institutional memory of the account base. Owns retention and expansion.
Hired April 2026 to open retail and CPG doors on relationships, not quota. 20 years across WPP, Omnicom and Publicis.
Hired April 2026 alongside Foo for the same relationship-led motion. 20+ years at MullenLowe Lintas, Leo Burnett and Edelman.
Who they're hiring
Current staff show the motion they have. Open roles show the one they are buying. Two sources: LinkedIn job listings, and their own we-are-hiring posts, which for smaller teams are often the only public trace.
How they relate to us
They have repositioned out of SaaS and into our exact lane: agentic creative production sold as an outcome, with humans on QA. Their own only comparison page is against Superside, a creative-services company, not against a SaaS tool. Positioning, proof points and even the pilot-led CTA are near-identical to ours. The stale note in company/research/competitors.md calling them a template-based platform that positions against agencies is wrong on both counts as of Aug 2026: they now sell through and to Publicis, Omnicom and Hogarth.

Homepage leads with agents + design experts delivering campaign-ready assets in hours. Primary CTA is "Run a pilot", not "Book a demo" or "Start free". This is a services motion wearing a product brand.

People to talk to
Former staff, best first. Recent leavers are the warmest — they still remember the numbers and no longer have a reason to protect them.
