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.

Prices are rising faster than ever — national inflation hit 3.7% in September 2026, up from 3.4% last year. But that's a national average. South Florida is a different story entirely.

The $5,000 raise technically kept up with the national inflation rate. But that national rate is an average across the whole country — including places that are much cheaper to live in than here. In South Florida, the math works differently.

Miami just became the most expensive major city in the United States — officially surpassing New York City, according to federal economic data. On top of that: home insurance in Florida is the highest in the nation, and property taxes in South Florida have gone up 62% since 2019, more than double the national increase. Everything costs more here, and it keeps going up.

$90K closes the gap. It's what this role pays in this market — and what it realistically takes to keep doing it here.
