Positioning Angles Skill in Action

I sit down with James Dickerson, a growth marketer, Claude Code power user, and the mind behind The Boring Marketer, to watch him build an entire marketing system live from the terminal. James walks me through his full workflow: deep research with the Perplexity MCP, positioning angle discovery, direct response copywriting, landing page creation, lead magnet design, ad creative generation with Remotion, and traffic strategy — all inside Claude Code using stacked skills and MCPs. By the end, we have a conversion-ready funnel for a fictional AI marketing agency serving boring local businesses, and James shares the free playbook he created from a two-hour recorded session so listeners can replicate the process themselves.

Key Points

• Spending an hour on upfront research with the Perplexity MCP produces dramatically better marketing outputs than jumping straight into prompting.

• Skills are instruction manuals for your AI agent — the expert perspective you build into them (the last 10–20%) is what separates great output from generic AI slop.

• You can build a complete marketing funnel — landing page, lead magnet, ad creative, SEO content, and traffic strategy — in a single Claude Code session.

• Remotion lets you create programmatic video ads directly from the terminal at zero cost, in multiple formats, with custom branding.

• An orchestrator skill can guide you through what to do next, removing the "I have a landing page, now what?" paralysis.

• The same Claude Code environment where you build products can also ship your entire marketing system — research, copy, design, and deployment in one place.
