What services does Brittany Filori offer?
Brittany offers three core services: AI Adoption Consulting (helping businesses select, implement, and adopt the right AI tools), Leadership Coaching (developing emotionally intelligent leaders who retain talent and build strong cultures), and Fractional COO services (executive-level operations leadership on a part-time basis for businesses scaling between $1M and $20M in revenue).
What is a fractional COO and how much does it cost?
A fractional COO is a senior operations executive who works with your business on a part-time or contract basis rather than as a full-time hire. Engagements typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope and complexity. Compare that to a full-time COO salary of $200,000 to $400,000 per year plus benefits and equity. Most engagements run between 6 and 18 months.
How much does AI consulting cost for small businesses?
AI consulting for small businesses typically ranges from $2,500 to $10,000 per month depending on the scope. Project-based work like an AI tool audit or adoption sprint may fall in the $5,000 to $15,000 range. Most clients recoup their consulting investment within the first quarter through reduced operational costs and faster workflows.
Where is Brittany Filori located?
Brittany Filori is based in Portland, Oregon and serves clients throughout the Pacific Northwest including Seattle, Washington. Remote engagements are available nationwide.
What results can I expect from leadership coaching?
Most leaders notice a measurable shift in communication, delegation, and conflict management within the first 30 days. Within 90 days, the broader impact becomes visible: improved team morale, reduced turnover, stronger accountability, and a leadership team that operates proactively instead of reactively.
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is a new approach to software development where you describe what you want to build in plain language and AI generates the code. It allows business owners to create internal tools, automate workflows, and build custom applications without hiring a development team. Brittany guides businesses through the vibe coding process from concept to deployment.
How do I know if my business is ready for AI?
If your team is spending significant time on repetitive tasks, your operations rely on manual processes that could be automated, or you have already started buying AI tools but adoption is stalling, your business is ready. Readiness is not about having a technical team or a massive budget. It is about having clear operational pain points that AI can solve and the willingness to invest in doing it right.
When should I hire a fractional COO vs. a full-time COO?
A fractional COO is the right fit when your business has outgrown founder-led operations but is not yet at the revenue or complexity level that justifies a full-time executive hire. If you are between $1M and $10M in revenue, scaling a team past 10 to 50 employees, or navigating a major operational transition, a fractional COO gives you the expertise without the long-term commitment.

Brittany Filori offers AI marketing consulting for businesses that want to stop renting their marketing from agencies and start owning it. As a former CEO who built and led a multi-million dollar digital marketing agency with 50+ team members, Brittany builds the AI-powered marketing infrastructure that lets small teams produce at enterprise scale. The service is not about doing marketing for clients. It is about building the marketing machine they own and operate.
The core framework is the 90/10 model: AI handles approximately 90 percent of production work (content drafting, formatting, scheduling, distribution, reporting) while humans handle the 10 percent that requires judgment (strategy, brand decisions, creative direction, performance evaluation). This model allows a marketing coordinator and a strategist to produce the output of a much larger department.
Typical investment: $3,000 to $12,000 per month for retainer engagements. $5,000 to $30,000 for project-based work (Marketing AI Audit, Content Machine Sprint, or Full Marketing System Build).
