IN BUSINESS.
Without the hype.
Making sense of AI progress for small businesses — in the UK and beyond. Research, analysis, and practitioner insight that actually applies to you.
Produced by AI pipeline. Reviewed by a human. Useful to you.

what works.
marketingaihub.co.uk is the editorial arm of Marketing WorkBench — an AI-native marketing pipeline built for UK small businesses. We use AI to run our own marketing. Then we write about what actually happened.
No sponsored posts. No PR agencies feeding us stories. No academic theory from people who've never run a pipeline in production. Just research, tested approaches, and honest takes on what AI can — and can't — do for your business.
