What I need to make this happen

Why this makes sense

The rationale.

Every number below came from real client work, real deadlines, real results.

💰
Thousands Saved. More Made.

AI video, lifestyle photography, home walkthroughs, conference intros — delivered without crews, photoshoots, or location costs. Each production yielded more usable assets than a traditional shoot. More output from the same starting point. The work already generates a return that dwarfs the ask.

🏆
7 AI-First Productions. 2 Awards.

First AI video in Peak Seven's toolkit (Oct 2025). Peakasso V1 won 1st place at the AI Presentation. 2nd place for SimplyDwell. 5+ photoshoots → full brand asset libraries. This isn't potential — it's a track record.

🔵
The Title Fits the Market

"Creative AI Lead & Producer" is actively being hired for at agencies right now at $90K–$105K in the Florida market. The work being done — building AI systems, producing AI-first content, developing creative workflows — aligns directly with what this title represents in the industry.

⚡
Peakasso Changes the Game

No agency in South Florida has a creative AI agent built specifically for their department. Peakasso is that system. The ask funds the build. The build makes the department measurably faster.

The real numbers

What the numbers
actually show.

National CPI from August 2025 to August 2026 was 3.4% — official BLS data. The raise from $70K to $75K (7.1%) technically beats that. But national averages hide the South Florida reality, where the cost of living tells a very different story.

Started at $70,000, raised to $75,000 — a 7.1% increase that tracks national CPI (3.4%) but not South Florida's reality. Rents here surged ~14% in the past year — 4× the national rate — and Miami-Broward runs 23–24% above the national average on cost of living.

$90K closes the gap. It reflects both the market rate for this role and the reality of operating in one of the most expensive metros in the country.
