About

Operators first. Founders second.

MarloAI is the marketing operating system for consumer brands. We spent a decade on this problem: it takes a platform and a team that runs it. We built both.

Founders

Two founders. One operating thesis.

We come from the same machine: Preston ran Burger King's US digital marketing and media while Gabriel built the apps and loyalty platform underneath it. Every brand we touched had the same gap, so we left to close it.

Preston Nix and Gabriel Cebrian, co-founders of MarloAI, in Coral Gables, Florida.

Preston Nix

Co-Founder & CEO

Head of Digital Marketing and Media at Burger King US. Scaled the Digital, CRM, Loyalty and Media programs end to end. Campaigns include Whopper Detour, the Million Dollar Whopper, Walmart+ and Robinhood.

Saw the same problem on every brand: intelligence built per channel, never per brand. Started Marlo to fix that.

The operating team

Who runs the work.

01

Senior operators

People who ran digital marketing and media for Burger King and built the guest platforms behind RBI's brands. A senior operator owns your account.

02

The review gate

Nothing ships on autopilot. Marlo drafts and scores in your locked voice; the operator reviews, signs, and ships through your stack.

03

The creative network

Photographers, copywriters, and motion artists behind the operators. Vetted, retained, orchestrated, and pulled in when the work needs them.

The Thesis

Marketing intelligence belongs in an operating system, not a screen full of charts.

For twenty years, marketing software has been organized by channel. Email tools. Social tools. Review tools. Each read its own slice, drew its own report. The brand was the seam.

That worked at ten locations and three channels. It fails at ten thousand. So brands paid agencies to be the seam, every quarter.

MarloAI is that system: it reads every signal, drafts in your locked voice, and ships where your customers already are. When intelligence compounds, the operator gets faster, the brand gets sharper, and customers can tell.
