Neither does your accounting firm.

And honestly, neither does ours.

We use AI at Sharpe. It’s bloody useful.

It helps us research faster, challenge our thinking, generate ideas and get through the heavy lifting.

But here’s where we draw the line:

We don’t outsource our thinking to a robot.

Because professional services marketing isn’t about filling a content calendar.

It’s about building reputation.

It’s about demonstrating expertise.

It’s about giving people a reason to remember you, trust you and eventually pick up the phone.

And that takes more than asking ChatGPT to “write a LinkedIn post about the importance of succession planning”.

We spend time with our clients.

We ask questions.

We listen.

We understand their business, their people, their clients and what makes them different.

We dig out the knowledge that exists inside the business — the stuff their partners and senior people know instinctively but often don’t realise is valuable content.

Then we use AI to help us turn good thinking into great marketing.

Not generic.

Not bland.

Not “five tips for businesses in 2026”.

Their voice. Their expertise. Their personality. Their brand.

Could AI write a post?

Absolutely.

Could it write a post that genuinely sounds like the partner who has spent 30 years building relationships in their community?

Probably not.



And that’s the point.

AI is a tool.

Authenticity is the strategy.

If your professional services marketing could have your logo swapped for your competitor’s and nobody would notice…

you’re not using too little AI.

You’re using too little you.
