LOCAL 2000 TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEUR STARTS NEW 2026 AI MARKETING AUTOMATION ECOSYSTEM
CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. - August 2026
Capital Region marketing strategist and technology entrepreneur Kariann Morris has announced the launch of ACE AI Marketing Automation, a new integrated artificial intelligence-powered marketing platform designed to connect market intelligence, competitive research, strategy, marketing performance management, content automation and dissemination within one centralized environment.
The ACE launch represents the latest evolution in Morris’ career developing businesses around major changes in media, marketing and technology.
Kariann launched her first company in New York’s Capital Region in 1999 and has since built multiple marketing and technology ventures as the industry evolved from proprietary web development, to digital research & marketing automation and now artificial intelligence.
ACE AI Marketing Automation grew out of a real-world collaboration with Christopher Hewison, CEO of Hewison Aviation, while Morris was working with Hewison to market the company’s new ACE AI Flight Training application. As the marketing initiative expanded nationally, Hewison wanted the ability to see instant market research, competitive intelligence, reporting and strategic marketing content on the U.S. flight-training industry.
That CHALLENGE helped inspire Morris to develop a more integrated approach to AI-powered marketing intelligence.
Instead of creating another standalone AI content-generation or research tool, Morris envisioned a platform built around the complete marketing decision-making process. ACE brings together Industry & Market Research, Competitive Intelligence, Audience Intelligence, Marketing Analytics, Marketing Planning & Budgeting, and Strategic Content Automation, allowing businesses to move from research and insight to strategy and execution on content within one connected environment.
Morris describes the concept as an “AI Marketing Control Center at Your Fingertips.”“
"AI should do much more for marketers than simply generate content,” said Morris. “The real opportunity is connecting market research, competitor intelligence, customer behavior, strategy, content, automation and analytics into one continuous marketing process that feeds and learns from each other. That is the idea behind ACE.”
The ACE platform is designed for business owners, marketing executives, marketing departments, agencies and growing organizations that want to use artificial intelligence to improve marketing intelligence, accelerate decision-making and turn research into more informed marketing strategies and content.
