How NinjaCat’s AI Agents are Transforming Agency Operations

In our recent webinar How AI Agents Can Scale Your Team’s Impact, we tackled one of the most transformative topics in marketing operations: AI Agents. Hosted by Jake Sanders, Content Marketing Manager for NinjaCat, Paul Deraval, NinjaCat CEO, and featuring special guest Mindy Buckalew, VP of Digital Business Operations at Cox Media Group (CMG), this webinar explored how AI agents are reshaping the way agencies work—by helping them save money, make money, and mitigate risk.

Here’s a breakdown of the key highlights from the discussion and what you need to know about integrating AI Agents into your agency’s workflow.

AI Agents as Transformational Tools

The webinar kicked off with an outline of the game-changing potential of purpose-built AI Agents. These specialized tools are designed to automate repetitive, low-value tasks, allowing teams to focus on high-impact work like strategy and client relationships.

NinjaCat’s AI Agents are designed to solve three challenges; making money, saving money, and mitigating risk. 

For example, an AI agent named Expansion Eric supports sales teams by pinpointing budget-constrained, high-performing campaigns, creating opportunities for upselling and driving growth.

Negative Keyword Nancy is an agent that enhances ad spend efficiency by detecting and eliminating wasteful PPC keywords. 

CMG’s tailored AI agent, CM 360 Pixie, safeguards campaign accuracy by monitoring tags, pixels, and creative to prevent issues before they affect clients. 

“AI agents allow your team to focus on strategy and client interaction rather than firefighting and monotonous tasks.” — Paul Deraval

Cox Media Group’s Custom AI Agent Success Story

Mindy shared a compelling example of how Cox Media Group successfully deployed NinjaCat’s AI agents to optimize their operations.

With the help of CM360 Pixie, a custom AI agent developed in partnership with NinjaCat they began automating the detection of anomalies in ad data—such as pixel failures or sudden drops in impressions—Pixie has allowed CMG to proactively address potential issues across over 200 client accounts. This shift from manual, time-intensive checks to streamlined, AI-driven processes has saved the team hours of effort each week and significantly improved campaign oversight.

The impact of Pixie goes beyond operational efficiency. Faster issue resolution has minimized disruptions for CMG’s highest-value accounts, reducing the risk of client churn and enhancing overall campaign performance. The agent’s success has also created excitement within the team, empowering them to focus on higher-value work and strengthening client relationships. As CMG continues to explore new opportunities for AI integration, Pixie represents a critical step forward in building a more agile and client-focused organization.

“It’s not about replacing people—it’s about enabling them to do more meaningful work.” — Mindy Buckalew

Lessons Learned in AI Deployment

Adopting AI agents is not a plug-and-play solution; it’s a process that requires iteration and collaboration. Here’s what CMG learned along the way:

• Start Small, Think Big: Begin with a single, high-impact use case and iterate before scaling.
  
  
• Collaboration is Key: Involve your team early in the development process to encourage adoption and reduce fears of job replacement.
  
  
• Iterative Refinement: Just like training a new employee, AI agents require continuous optimization to perform effectively.

“AI agents don’t come out of the box perfect—you need to refine and work with them, just like training an employee.” — Mindy Buckalew

Building AI Agents with NinjaCat

Paul showcased how NinjaCat makes building and maximizing success with AI agents simple and scalable, even for non-technical users. It’s about how you combine the right components—Models plus Tools, Techniques, and Data—to transform raw AI potential into meaningful marketing outcomes.

NinjaCat’s platform stands out with its user-friendly design, enabling teams to quickly create AI agents without requiring technical expertise. Its scalability allows agents to dynamically retrieve relevant data across multiple clients, streamlining operations. 

Additionally, advanced AI Agents, such as Media Mix Mary, demonstrate the platform's capability for sophisticated tasks like predictive analytics and budget optimization, making it a powerful tool for agencies.

The Future of AI Agents: Marketing AGI

The webinar ended with a sneak peek at how NinjaCat is leading the charge toward mAGI (Marketing Artificial General Intelligence) an orchestrator agent that will integrate with specialized AI agents to tackle complex tasks collaboratively.

“With mAGI, AI assistants will evolve from tools to teammates, creatively fulfilling tasks with minimal supervision.” — Paul Deraval

Actionable Takeaways for Agencies

Ready to start your AI journey? Here’s where to focus:

• Start Small: Choose a single task that is repetitive, time-consuming, or prone to error.
• Specialize Your Agents: Build tools for specific, high-value tasks rather than generalists.
• Integrate AI Strategically: Use agents to make money, save money, and mitigate risk, scaling up after initial successes.

This webinar showcased how AI agents can deliver immediate, scalable, and transformative results for marketing agencies. With NinjaCat’s robust AI solutions, agencies can streamline operations, deliver superior client experiences, and position themselves for long-term success.
