For consumer brand leaders, whether you’re a VP of Marketing, Head of Growth, or DTC founder, reducing Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) while improving ROAS is the holy grail. But in today’s landscape of privacy regulations, creative fatigue, and rising ad costs, achieving both is harder than ever.

That’s where community agents come in.

Powered by Solsten’s psychological AI, community agents let brands run more efficient, emotionally intelligent, and human-feeling campaigns across every channel, from your paid social strategy to organic Instagram comments.

This article shows how Solsten helps consumer brands deploy AI community agents to:

  • Drive higher-converting conversations
  • Attract better-fit customers
  • Lower CAC and improve ROAS

We’ll draw on recent research from Salesforce, Black & Black Creative, and DMEXCO to show why AI marketing agents are the future, and how Solsten helps you build them with precision.

The New Era of Consumer Marketing Needs More Than Automation

Consumer expectations are rising. People want personalized, relevant, emotionally resonant interactions across all touchpoints. Yet, most AI tools today still:

  • Sound robotic or off-brand
  • Struggle to handle emotional nuance
  • Fail to personalize beyond surface-level segmentation
  • Sound embarrassing when they try to sound human

As Salesforce reports, AI agents in consumer goods must do more than automate tasks, but must also analyze behavior, predict outcomes, and engage with emotional intelligence.

“AI agents can analyze behaviors to guide messaging, personalize offers, and create human-like conversations tailored to specific segments.” – Salesforce Consumer Goods Report

Why Traditional CAC & ROAS Strategies Are No Longer Enough

According to Black & Black Creative, DTC brands are battling:

  • Worsening ad efficiency due to iOS privacy changes
  • Decreasing organic reach
  • Expensive retargeting with low returns

And DMEXCO points out:

“AI marketing agents are your much-needed upgrade. They help you automate intelligently and achieve your marketing goals faster.”

But generic AI won’t solve the problem. You need AI with personality and purpose built on a foundation of psychological understanding. That’s where Solsten leads.

What Are Community Agents for Consumer Brands?

Community agents are AI-powered assistants built to:

  • Engage with your audience across organic and paid channels
  • Drive emotionally intelligent conversations in comments, DMs, or ads
  • Reflect your brand personality and voice

These agents aren’t just customer service bots — they’re on-brand influencers, conversationalists, and converters.

Imagine:

  • A wellness brand’s agent answering TikTok questions in a warm, balanced tone
  • A sustainable fashion brand’s agent sharing product insights while reinforcing values like conscious living
  • A pet product brand’s agent playfully responding to comments and guiding users to the right product

  • What tone, visuals, and messaging resonate with them

With Solsten, your agents are:
