Two Businesses.
One Standard.

Starfish Ad Age handles marketing and creative: brand strategy, social media, paid ads, web design, video. Starfish Solutions handles AI and systems: custom automation, AI agents, the StarLeads CRM, and workflow consulting.

If the problem is "my marketing does not work," that is Ad Age. If the problem is "my team is buried in manual work and we need leverage," that is Solutions. If it is both — many clients need both — a 30-minute discovery call sorts it out in one conversation.

Starfish Solutions Automation-as-a-Service tiers run $995/month to $3,995/month depending on scope, volume, and complexity. Custom AI builds and integrations are scoped separately. Starfish Ad Age retainers vary by service mix and media spend.

Every engagement starts with a free strategy call — you will see pricing, scope, and expected outcomes before any commitment. No multi-year contracts required.

Discovery call to first live system in 2–4 weeks is typical for workflow automations and custom AI agents. Marketing engagements can start within the same week for paid media setup, 2–3 weeks for brand or creative work. Larger transformations and multi-team rollouts run 6–12 weeks.

The starting point is always a free strategy call to confirm scope and fit.

Most likely. Current and past clients include dental practices, automotive dealerships, e-commerce brands, B2B service firms, fitness and salon operators, agency founders, and enterprise marketing teams.

The frameworks do not depend on industry — they depend on whether leadership is willing to change how the team operates. If you are, the tools translate. If you are not, no amount of AI helps.

Both. Abel is based in Longview, TX and Bossier City, LA with strong local roots in the Ark-La-Tex, and works with clients coast to coast. Local engagements get in-person sessions and on-site training where it helps. Remote clients get the same rigor over video. The work does not change with geography; only the delivery format does.

Yes — that is the design goal. Every engagement includes documentation, training, and a handoff period. Teams own the tools, not a dependency on an outside vendor.

Ongoing support is available through AaaS tiers if you want it, but the target is always: your team runs the system, your team understands the system, and your team can extend the system. Otherwise the ROI does not survive the first personnel change.

Yes. Speaking topics include AI adoption for non-technical teams, agentic workflow architecture, marketing in the AI era, systems thinking for growth, and ROI-first AI roadmaps.

Keynotes, conference sessions, chamber talks, and private team trainings are all available. Use the Speaking Engagement page or the contact form to start a conversation.
