What is Lucio.ai?

lucio.ai is a highly personalised digital consultancy. It means that we solve one specific problem at a time utilising digital technology, Artificial Intelligence and theory-based marketing frameworks.

The consultancy is led by Lucio Ribeiro, current Lecturer of Digital Marketing, Marketing Insights and Data and Lecturer of Artificial Intelligence and Business at both, RMIT and Deakin.

We are normally hired by CMO’s, Marketing Directors, Portfolio Managers, Head of Innovation and Head of Strategy to either fulfil their capacity (“I don’t have time”) or solve a capability (“I don’t know how to do it”) challenge.

We don’t pitch, and we work with just three clients every six months.
