Selfstorming MCP¶

Curated marketing libraries and an ideation engine for AI assistants.

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Generic AI assistants ideate from the average of the internet. Selfstorming swaps that for curated creative material: award-winning campaigns searchable by brief, mood or mechanic, sourced findings that name the original report, and codified techniques for hooks, naming and storytelling. An operator gets brief-grade campaign research and sourced ammunition for recommendations without a creative director on staff.

The output lands as boards in your Selfstorming account, so ideation sessions are refinable and exportable to PowerPoint rather than evaporating in a chat thread.

Business Relevance¶

Founders research how award-winning campaigns cracked similar problems
Marketers back recommendations with sourced stats from the marketing canon
Copywriters pull proven hooks and storytelling techniques instead of inventing from scratch
Agencies run naming and ideation sessions that export to PowerPoint boards

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

Selfstorming pairs with CorpusIQ analytics connectors as a research-to-results loop. Pull audience and channel data from GA4 and the Meta Ads connector to shape the brief, run Selfstorming campaign searches against that brief, and ship the resulting creative through the channels CorpusIQ already reports on - then measure whether sourced, proven mechanics beat the last campaign baseline.

FAQ¶

What makes this different from asking a plain AI assistant?¶

A plain assistant ideates from training data. Selfstorming grounds the same session in 1,800+ curated award-winning campaigns, sourced marketing research and codified creative techniques, with every sourced finding naming its original report.

What can agents actually do with it?¶

Search campaigns by brief, mood or mechanic, pull sourced marketing findings, apply hooks, naming and storytelling techniques, and run ideation sessions that save as exportable boards.

Does it replace a creative agency?¶

No. It supplies research-grade creative material and structured ideation for teams without a creative director, but execution and judgment still belong to the operator.
