MarkeTeam.ai – a developer of advanced AI technology for the marketing industry – announced the completion of a $3 million seed funding round. After launching its next-generation autonomous marketing agents, the company operates a team of virtual experts across core marketing disciplines, such as brand marketing, strategic planning, paid media, social media management, and content marketing.
MarkeTeam’s AI agents have been trained for multi-human / multi-agent collaboration and on real marketing operations and campaign data, enabling them to integrate seamlessly into organizational platforms and collaborate naturally with human teams. And unlike traditional AI tools that assist with isolated tasks like co-pilots, each of MarkeTeam’s agents functions as a full-fledged team member, capable of undertaking comprehensive marketing work units spanning research and ideation, planning, creation, publishing & optimization in a collaborative manner.
This AI-based approach enables organizations to redirect budgets from operational costs to growth initiatives & working media, improving overall performance and ROI.
Ocean Azul Partners led the funding round with participation from marketing/advertising industry veterans like Clive Sirkin (former CMO of Kellogg’s and Kimberly-Clark), Dion Joannou (former CEO of Accedian), Mitch Mayers (Founder and Partner at Zipatoni, later acquired by IPG), Tony Weisman (former CMO of Dunkin’ Brands) and additional industry leaders. So far, the company has raised $5 million.
These AI team members operate autonomously across the whole marketing spectrum. And they learn brand voice and strategy, track market dynamics, conduct independent research, proactively plan, execute in real-time, and continuously optimize performance. This collaboration also transforms teams’ operations, delivering measurable results while significantly cutting costs.
This funding round will accelerate MarkeTeam’s expansion in the U.S. market while driving the development of new AI models, marketing agents and capabilities across multiple channels.

At MarkeTeam, we’re challenging the status quo by introducing AI agents that are not ‘tools’ but true ‘team members’.

With the support of Ocean Azul, our visionary investors, and our incredible team, we’re redefining the future of marketing and the workplace itself.”
